Identifire
Identifire Range

Identifire is an installers dream; offering consistency, familiarity and therefore speed of installation. All Identifire products, apart from the MultiTone Base Sounder, have the ability to be either surface or flush mounted. The ability to flush mount is particularly beneficial to system installers as the Identifire products can be installed using low-cost standard electrical back boxes.

As the only collection of its kind to offer fully flexible installation options between flush and surface mounting methods, Identifire allows interior designers, architects and specifiers to specify fully flush mounted alarm accessories, thereby reducing the aesthetic impact of alarm system equipment. The square design across the range also offers consistency with other wall-mounted products such as light switches, HVAC sensors and thermostats.

All Identifire products can be 'pad' printed to allow for identification os system components and functions. Any language can be accommodated and full colour logos can be incorporated, meaning that system houses can easily be supplied with customised and OEM solutions when required.
