Kidde Safety Europe has introduced the CV9101 Fire Alarm Controller, a groundbreaking solution designed to streamline the testing and maintenance of its Cavius wireless alarm range.
The CV9101 offers a user-friendly approach to fire safety by eliminating the need for physical access to alarms. With its innovative Test/Hush button, homeowners can remotely test and silence their Cavius wireless alarms. This feature is particularly beneficial for elderly or disabled individuals and for properties with hard-to-reach alarms, such as those installed in high ceilings or unoccupied loft spaces.
A key advantage of the CV9101 is its compliance with BS 5839-6:2019, the UK’s ‘Code of Practice for the Design, Installation, Commissioning, and Maintenance of Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems in Domestic Premises.’ This standard emphasizes the importance of remote testing for alarms located in non-occupied lofts, especially those containing solar PV equipment, enhancing safety while minimizing the need for physical access.
Versatile and convenient, the CV9101 can be wall-mounted or used as a freestanding unit. It supports connectivity with up to 32 alarms within a single house group, ensuring comprehensive fire safety coverage. Built for long-term reliability, the controller offers a 10-year operational lifespan with a manufacturer-backed warranty. Its integrated low-battery warning feature ensures users are alerted when replacement is needed, maintaining optimal performance.
Simon Jones, UK Marketing Manager at Kidde, commented: “Regular testing of smoke alarms is crucial for ensuring the safety of residents. The CV9101 Fire Alarm Controller simplifies this process by eliminating the need for physical access to alarms. This innovative addition to our range enhances functionality and provides greater peace of mind for both installers and homeowners.”
The CV9101 Fire Alarm Controller is set to redefine ease of use in fire safety, making homes safer and more accessible for everyone.
