smoke control monitoring.
Available as stand alone, or suitable for interfacing or incorporating with building management or fire/smoke control
systems designs, the range includes four simple off the shelf packages through to bespoke designs to satisfy the most
demanding criteria.
Gardex (Modes 9/10 Options Only) Multiplex System
The Gardex system has been designed to reduce the cost of electrical wiring installations and satisfy the most complex of
control changes. Up to 126 dampers can share the same 2 wire communication line to transmit information to and from the
central controller.

Available as an integral part of the damper, or as a
separate enclosure, the addressable module has been
designed to provide independent operation of individual
or groups of dampers in accordance with a pre-
programmed logic sequence of events.
Individual dampers are controlled and have there status
constantly monitored by the module in response to
signals from the pre-programmed controller. Maximum
length of communications 2km. In the event of
communications failure dampers assume failsafe
position.
These are available in a number of configurations and are
designed and manufactured to suit individual specific
requirements. The electro-mechanical control/monitoring
panels are based on IP55 wall mounting enclosures, which
can be provided to include such features as:
