You’re responsible for keeping people and property safe, while minimizing your organization’s exposure to risk. So knowing at all times that your fire extinguishers are in place and working is a critical part of your fire safety plan.
With that in mind, you simply cannot rely on mandated 30-day inspections or assume that you will notice if an extinguisher is missing or broken. Electronic fire safety monitoring is the only approach that provides the constant assurance you require.
With our en-Gauge remote fire extinguisher monitoring system, an electronic signal notifies you when a fire extinguisher is blocked, missing from its designated location or when its pressure falls below safe operating levels.
The system instantly sends an alert to the building’s fire or security control panel. An alert can also be sent directly to you through an instant email, phone call or pager notification.
The en-Gauge enabled fire extinguisher hangs on the wall just like your current extinguisher. But unlike the traditional approach, the en-Gauge enabled extinguisher utilizes a smart pressure gauge that sends an electronic signal when the pressure level has dipped below an operable level. This is an important feature, considering that 25% of inspected fire extinguishers are below safe operating pressure.
The en-Gauge enabled extinguisher is connected by our proprietary tether. As soon as the extinguisher is pulled off the wall, it trips a switch and sends an electronic signal to your alarm system, notifying you the instant the extinguisher has been removed.
Our en-Vision obstruction sensor serves as a remote set of eyes. Literally. If something is blocking the sensor, which sits below, next to or above the extinguisher, it trips a switch. A prolonged obstruction notifies you through an electronic signal. Equipped with intelligent scheduling software, the en-Gauge system, once the switch is tripped, checks for obstruction at specifically scheduled intervals over the next few hours. This feature mitigates the odds that a notification will be sent when, for example, someone is simply standing in front of the sensor.
