Smoke alarms warn of fire gases and can save lives. This makes it all the more important not to compromise on quality. That is why Gira manufactures its Basic Q and Dual Q models, as well as its wireless smoke alarm, to the highest standards.
The ‘Q’ stands for tested quality, durability and a reduction in false alarms, whilst offering increased stability, e.g. against external influences. In addition, the photoelectric scattered light technology ensures optimum safety: the density of fine smoke particles is measured and an alarm is triggered as soon as it exceeds the threshold value. Another advantage: the battery lasts up to 10 years (the period prescribed by law for replacing every smoke alarm).
A reliable foundation: the Basic Q smoke alarm.
The Gira Basic Q smoke alarm detects dangerous smoke immediately and sounds the alarm via a loud, pulsating alarm tone (85 dB) and a red LED ring. It operates on the photoelectric scattered light technology: smoke produced by fires contains fine smoke particles. The density of these smoke particles is measured by the smoke alarm. A diode in the device continuously emits light signals, and a photocell evaluates the scattered light caused by the smoke particles. The alarm is triggered as soon as the concentration of scattered light exceeds the threshold value.
Reliable response to smoke and heat : The Dual Q smoke alarm.
The Gira Dual Q smoke alarm is equipped with two detection methods. It visually detects small smoke particles before the situation becomes critical. In addition, heat sensors measure temperature changes in the room: this allows different types of fire, such as liquid fires, to be detected more quickly and reliably. It also enables better control of the alarm behaviour in areas where interference is unavoidable, such as kitchen fumes, dust or electrical interference.
