Ajax EN54 FireProtect (VAD) Jeweller
FireProtect (VAD) Jeweller is a wireless visual alarm device (VAD) that complies with the European fire safety standards EN 54-23 and EN 54-25 as well as the Electronic Communications Directive RED (2014/53/EU). The device works with Ajax’s robust Jeweller radio communication protocol, providing a reliable and secure connection to the control panel via EN54 Fire Hub or Fire ReX.
Visual alarm (VAD)
-
The device displays a visual alarm by means of an LED frame flashing in 90 ms on / 1 910 ms off mode, with a cycle period of 2 000 ms (0,5 Hz).
-
Particularly suitable for environments with noise or limited hearing – such as wide corridors, large rooms, ice lines or for the safety of the hearing impaired.
Sound signal
-
The VAD depends on a visual signal and does not include an audible alarm (unlike the Sounder/VAD model).
Communication and security
