BiWire two-wire 5 in 1 fire alarm detector

The BiWire 5 in 1 detector provides a complete detector solution for use with Eaton's two-wire BiWire Flexi fire and notification fire alarm system. 

Configurable to one of five settings including three heat detector modes, a setting that helps to prevent false alarms in areas with known high levels of dust, fumes, steam or smoke. 

DIL switch mode selection: optical smoke (15m range), multi-criteria opto-thermal (10.6m range) and three thermistor base heat detection (5.3m radius): rate of rise (A2R characteristic 60°C), fixed medium temperature (BS medium temperature 77°C), fixed high temperature (CS high temperature 92°C).

The flexibility of 5 detectors in 1

By combining five detection types into one device, multiple users benefit during specification, installation and ongoing maintenance:

  • Wholesalers - Reduces overall stock
  • Installers - Able to bulk by a single variant of detector and carry one variant around
  • Maintenance teams - Removes the need to carry smoke, heat and multi options

360° Visibility light pipe LED technology for instant status recognition

The BiWire detector range uses light pipe technology to create a 360° indicator LED. The device incorporates a wide viewing angle for increased LED visibility. Red LED is used to indicate an alarm condition, and an amber LED is used to indicate a chamber fault

Your device keeps you safe, so keep your device safe

The detector comes equipped with different locking abilities. In addition to a positive "lock" indication feature, the device comes equipped with a locking facility which can be activated to prevent unauthorised detector removal without the use of a special tool

BiWire Flexi - Your simpler, cheaper, more versatile choice for new & old fire projects

Whether fitting out a building extension, retrofitting an outdated system or looking to benefit from the cost and time benefits of two-wire technology on a new build and want to utilise certain conventional devices; BiWire Flexi gives you the power to adapt the system to the site.

Be less conventional with Eaton's range of two-wire fire alarm devices
