'A cost-effective way to boost fire safety'

GEZE UK has launched a product which links control units for smoke and heat extraction, ‘providing a cost-effective and easy-to-install solution that boosts fire safety’.

The THZ Link connects control units for vents or zones around a building, providing a modular solution that can be extended to link further control units, which can be added when required. Fully tested to VdS 2581 and VdS 2593, it also complies with EN 12101 Part 9 and Part 10, ‘providing complete flexibility for use in both new developments and older buildings’.

GEZE UK explained: “The THZ doesn’t interfere with the building’s fire strategy; it makes it possible to have windows that can be used for both fire management and still be opened for natural ventilation. Cabling, and thus installation time, can be minimised, as each control panel is linked, rather than wired, direct to a central control panel. THZ Link can be used as a standalone control unit with GEZE smoke detectors local to each fire and smoke zone, or interfaced within a fire alarm panel.”

Thoroughly tested to comply with British Standards 9999 and 9991, it is fitted with a ‘lock-out’ feature, meaning that once a fire alarm is triggered, no subsequent activations can be applied, allowing efforts to be concentrated on where the fire started. The system can operate louvred window systems, has a 72-hour battery back-up, and can be applied within rooms and on stairwells.
