Kidde Safety Europe has announced the launch of a new relay unit under its Cavius brand, designed to provide enhanced safety for building occupants.

The new Cavius Relay unit serves as a dedicated connection between smoke and heat alarms, and third-party safety systems in the event of a fire. Enabling an emergency signal to be transmitted to systems such as telecare systems, strobe lights and sounders, this offers an ideal specification for dwellings that house vulnerable people or where compliance with the Equality Act is essential.

The mains powered Cavius is an interface between Cavius RF smoke and heat alarms and hard-wired third-party inputs (such as fire panels, break glass boxes and sprinkler flow switches) and output systems (such as telecare systems, strobes and sounders). When any of the input devices are triggered, it sends a message to the Cavius Relay unit, which in turn activates all the other appliances within the system, quickly raising the alarm and ensuring the safety of building occupants.

Notably, this versatile product can be connected or interfaced to warden call or telecare systems, making it suitable for specification in assisted living and sheltered housing facilities where enhanced safety and care is paramount. In addition, the Cavius Relay is ideal for use in houses of multiple occupancy (HMO) and other environments where a full portfolio of lifesaving devices is required, alerting the whole building even when a fire is detected in an individual flat.

The Cavius Relay is mains powered and features a battery backup, which will power the device in the event of a mains power failure and comes with a full 10 year guarantee.
