SAFETY IN ITS BEST FORM. 868 MHz

ARGUS SMOKE DETECTORS.
Increased safety in a super-flat design.
Show your customers that safety is not
only indispensable but looks good too!
In an attractive, flat design and available
in aluminium, polar white and dark
brazil, the ARGUS smoke detector from
Merten is suitable for any interior.
A growing market
The figures are alarming: smoke is the
primary cause of death in fires. Around
70 percent of all fire deaths in Germany
occur during the night. Smouldering
fires develop quickly due to obsolete
electrical appliances or carelessness
such as an unnoticed glowing cigarette.
According to official estimates, the use
of smoke detectors could halve the
number of victims and incidents of fire
damage. High-quality optical smoke
detectors are particularly suitable for
this. One of the few top-class systems
on the market is the new ARGUS Smoke
Detector System from Merten, which
has been awarded a VdS (German
Association of Property Insurers) test
certificate for its reliability in smoke
detection. Certified by the VdS and
tested in accordance with VdS
standard prEN 12239, it meets one of
the most stringent norms for domestic
smoke detectors. It is fitted with a
battery and therefore works independently
of the mains supply.
There should be a smoke detector in
every house!
One smoke detector is usually not
enough, though, to make a flat, or
indeed a whole house, safe. Even with
several smoke detectors, there is the
risk that the fire alarm will not be heard
in rooms that are further away.
Increase your customer loyalty and
added value with the modular Smoke
Detector System from Merten and
offer your customers maximum safety.
Even the modular basic device has an
integrated wiring terminal that enables
up to 40 smoke detectors to be interconnected.
Plug-in extension modules
make it extremely easy to extend the
system further.
The safe radio network
Another highlight: the bi-directional
radio module for fast and convenient
upgrading in detached family houses,
multiple dwellings, flats, old buildings,
offices and functional buildings. Each
radio module is fitted with a transmitter
and receiver, so that in an emergency,
all smoke detectors connected to the
wireless network will trigger an alarm.
For example, if a fire breaks out in the
cellar or basement, the family sleeping
in the attic will also be alerted in good
time, allowing them to escape to safety.
An additional central point as alarm
receiver is therefore not necessary. This
helps your customers save money.
The ARGUS radio module operates on
the specially reserved 868 MHz radio
frequency, which means that interference
or false alarms are impossible.
Your customers are therefore always on
the safe side.
The relay module with two-way contact
also allows smoke detectors to be
combined with external alarm equipment
(e.g. horns or vibration cushions)
or integrated into the INSTABUS EIB
building management system. This
means that older or deaf people, for
example, can feel safe. Zero-signal
current monitoring (for alarm loops) is
also made possible by the break contact.
The ARGUS smoke detection system –
convincing technology for optimum
protection in a super-flat design!
