SONA to showcase new protection range at Elex show

Housing Wed, Mar 23, 2016 10:41 AM

SONA’s latest range of smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms will be showcased at the first Elex 2016 Show in Manchester.

After three years of careful research and development and large-scale financial investment, SONA has been launched specifically to deliver enhanced levels of protection, whilst being simple to specify, install and maintain.

The range utilises advanced, intelligent sensor technology combined with an “always-on guarantee” and boasts unique energy saving features helping ensure SONA range saves money, the environment as well as saving lives.

The SONA range consists of a mains-powered Thermoptek multi-sensor smoke alarm, Thermistek heat alarm, carbon monoxide (CO) alarm and an alarm control unit, all offering faster detection of smoke, heat and CO to help alert householders to danger more quickly.

The entire SONA range can be wirelessly networked, using SONA’s Wi-Safe 2 RF communication technology with a simple two-touch connection process, keeping installation time to a minimum. In the event of any one single device being triggered, all other alarms in the network will sound with the same alarm pattern, making it easier to identify whether it is a fire or CO incident. Up to 50 alarms can be meshed in one network, with the option of hard-wiring the alarms also available.

The SONA smoke alarm incorporates the latest Thermoptek multi-sensor technology, as used by over 90% of the UK Fire & Rescue Services, for detection of both fast flaming and slow smouldering fires in a single alarm, while the SONA heat alarm uses innovative Thermistek technology to constantly monitor the rate of temperature rise, warning householders about the presence of fire faster than other heat alarms.

Completing the range is a wireless CO alarm with a sealed for life battery. Tamper-resistant and easy to install, the alarm features highly advanced sensing technology to accurately measure low-levels of CO.

Jeremy Roberts, Trade Sales Director, said: “At SONA, we are fully aware that with so many options available in the marketplace, specification of the correct smoke and carbon monoxide protection can be difficult. The Elex Show gives us the perfect platform to showcase our latest SONA range that not only helps to keep specification as simple as possible, but is able to monitor more risks when compared to traditional solutions, offering the highest levels of fire and carbon monoxide protection.”

SONA is part of the Sprue Safety Products group, which includes world-leading fire safety brands FireAngel and BRK and both ranges will also be present on stand.
