GfS Hood Guard
The battery-operated GfS Hood Guard is wireless and easy to install as a ready-to-use complete device. It is mounted on the upper or lower mounting tab of the GfS Exit Cover. The included magnetic foil is glued into the mounting tab of the hood. This magnetic foil activates a Reed-Contact in the Hood Guard. The device can now be switched on and made operational via the built-in key switch.
When the hood is knocked off, the Reed-Contact is released and an acoustic alarm sounds (95 dB/1 m). The alarm can only be acknowledged or turned off by an authorized person with the key. With the help of an additional potential-free changeover switch with external power supply terminal and by wiring the device, the alarm can, for example, be forwarded to a display panel at the gatekeeper/security personnel.
THE LEGAL PERMISSIBILITY OF THE EMERGENCY EXIT COVER
The Exit Cover has been tested by TÜV Thüringen Anlagentechnik GmbH. It meets the necessary conditions in terms of energy and force expenditure and allows for injury-free breaking through the use of the material Macrolon. The ARGE-Bau (Working Group of Ministers Responsible for Construction of the States) confirms in a letter the harmlessness of the covers in escape routes.
With the removal of DIN EN 179 and 1125 from the Construction Rules List Part B of the DIBt, it is possible to use products that do not comply with these standards, provided that one-handed operation is not required by state law. If one-handed operation is required by state law, the Covers can be approved through individual permits by the building authority.
