Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the alarm prevent access to the extinguisher in case of fire?

No, the alarm is purely audible. It does not physically lock the cabinet, ensuring that the fire extinguisher remains 100% accessible in an emergency.

How is the alarm deactivated?

Depending on the configuration, the alarm stops when the door is closed, when the extinguisher is replaced, or through manual deactivation by an authorized person.

Can this alarm be connected to a central fire alarm panel?

This model is generally a stand-alone unit. For integration with a central system, check for models equipped with optional dry contacts or remote signaling capabilities.
