FireGaurd Gen 1 Datasheet
Product Overview
FireGaurd Gen 1 is a smart Fire Equipment Health Monitoring Controller designed to ensure that building fire protection systems are always ready to operate during emergencies. Instead of monitoring environmental fire events, FireGaurd Gen 1 continuously tracks the operational status, health, and alert conditions of critical fire‑fighting equipment installed inside commercial and industrial infrastructure.
It supports eight fire‑safety sensor inputs over UART, I²C, and RS‑485, enabling seamless connectivity with equipment such as fire hydrants, sprinkler pumps, water tank level sensors, pressure transmitters, fire extinguisher health sensors, fire door status modules, and power backup supervision units.
With four Digital Outputs, FireGaurd Gen 1 can trigger fire pumps, sirens, emergency exhausts, or fire door releases — allowing automated responses and onsite control signals through BMS or SCADA integration.
Data can be delivered securely to Fire Panels, BMS systems, or cloud analytics platforms, ensuring real‑time alerts for malfunctions, abnormal pressure drops, disconnections, and preventive maintenance conditions.
Whether supporting fire compliance, safety inspections, emergency readiness, or remote monitoring operations — FireGaurd Gen 1 brings Industry‑grade intelligence, automation, and reliability to building fire safety systems.
