FireTRAP wireless relay-controller system delivers turnkey solution optimised for trap-release applications

The FireTRAP remote-control trap-release system uses narrowband RF technology ensures high reliability by rejecting interference from other radio sources such as mobile phone masts. Operating in the unlicensed 433MHz frequency band and conforming to European low-power-radio specifications, the system can be used in any area with no approval required.

A selection of controllers is available, offering a choice of one, two, four, eight or 16 switches to activate individual relays at the receiver. A Learn switch helps users quickly pair each button with the desired relay in the receiving unit. Each transmitter is a handheld unit housed in an IP40-rated enclosure and powered from a cell battery supplied.

The receiver can be specified with one, two or four relays. Internal jumper links are used to select momentary, latched or timed relay operation. The wide supply voltage range of 12V-30V allows use with a variety of power sources such as a car battery. Integral mounting brackets allow easy attachment to a wall or other surface. The unit withstands temperatures from –10°C to 70°C, and operates from 0°C to 55°C, allowing permanent outdoor deployment. The unit’s resin-dipped circuit boards provide additional resistance to water ingress, over and above the high rating of the IP68-rated enclosure, delivering a rugged radio controller capable of fulfilling a variety of applications in harsh environments.
