The best legal option
Dorgard allows you to legally and cautiously keep fire doors open, by making it possible for the door to shut the instance the fire alarm sounds stopping the increase of flames and smoke. Set up onto the rear of the fire door within just 5 minutes, Dorgard is listening out for a continuous fire alarm of 65dBA or more.
Easy Installation
Establishing the Dorgard takes simply a handful of minutes. It is entirely wireless and battery run. First, open the surface section of the Dorgard by using a screwdriver, and install the batteries. The 2 C-sized batteries supplied usually survive for around a year.
It is advocated that fire doors are shut in the night; hence Dorgard has an automatic night-time release function. To enable this, choose the night time DIP switch on the rear of the unit. Also, observe the serial number in the Maintenance Record, provided within the Fitting & Operating guide.
