Kidde Commercial, a trusted pioneer in fire safety for more than 100 years, has launched the new Kidde Commercial 2X-A, 2X-AT, and Excellence Series Solution, which offers technologies and features to help better protect workplaces and people.
New features
These new features substantially reduce false alarms, powered by AI. Kidde is a part of Carrier Global Corporation, a global pioneer in intelligent climate and energy solutions.
The new panels offer reduced installation costs - cut by 17% - and are compatible with legacy systems, meaning overall new intelligent devices are quicker to commission and maintain.
Key benefits
Users can benefit from:
- Substantially reduced false alarms: Intelligent detectors give a more accurate detection of smoke, reducing false alarms with a patented Optical Chamber.
- Powered by AI, always in touch: Connected gateways to the panel mean it can be an all-in-one visit, delivering an 80% reduction in responding to emergencies.
- Installation costs cut by 17%: Allows new detectors to be fitted to legacy systems, meaning overall new intelligent devices are quicker to commission and maintain.
- Patented Optical Sensing: Excellence Series is the first detector to differentiate between nuisance particles (for example cooking particles such as burnt toast) and serious threats.
Alarm fatigue
Arman Saeidnia, GM Fire EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) said, “False fire alarms costing businesses is disruptive and often a strain on our productivity at work."
Arman Saeidnia adds, "It’s vital businesses know the triggers and upgrade technologies to ensure false alarms are kept to a minimum. Alarm fatigue can lead to complacency within the workplace making it harder for people to properly evacuate and react in the case of an actual emergency.”
