Roger Technologies Presto HS linear actuators in action.
We chose these operators for their sturdy construction and built in travel stops. Ideal for gates without centre stop in the driveway.
Three phase variable speed 24v motors make it quiet too.
Thanks Town & Country Gates for choosing Positive Security for your gate automation technician services.

We automated this classy gate in Kaikoura yesterday. The Centurion D5 Smart was the obvious choice in this seaside environment.

YOUR SMOKE ALARM CHECK IS DUE!
Instructions:
Test each smoke alarm.
Check the battery date.
If it is a replacable battery type, replace annually.
Do a sound test. Close all the doors in your home, get someone to sit on the bed. Test each smoke alarm and make sure the sound from each one is loud enough to wake you up (NZBC F7 Points to NZS4514 which requires 75 decibels at the sleeping position)
Placement:
You should have a smoke alarms covering the exit path from the bedrooms including corridors, stairways and entry foyers.
IF YOU REQUIRE MORE THAN ONE SMOKE ALARM THEY MUST BE INTERCONNECTED (NZS4514)

Deadly Residential Smoke Detection!

I recently did an alarm service for the tenant of a 3 storey townhouse.
As per my usual practice I assessed the smoke detection.
I was Horrified! The system installed could result in the death of the tenant!

The situation:
Each level was fitted with an operating stand alone smoke detector.

Thats good right???

No! - better than nothing perhaps?
A FALSE SENSE OF SAFETY!

Consider this:

The fire starts in the garage on the ground floor
The smoke builds up enough in the garage to seep through the door to the entrance way (the only exit) and sets off the smoke detector there.
The sleeping occupants on the 3rd floor do not hear it as it is too far away
The intensity of the fire increases, so that finally enough smoke goes up the stairs and starts filling the living room enough for the 2nd level smoke detector to sound.
The door to the first floor is closed, so the sleeping occupantson the 3rd level are still sleeping but start to stir

Meanwhile the smoke is building up inside the stairs and living room and fire is now burning through the door and will soon be blocking the only exit way!

Can the occupants find their way to safety before it is too late???

PLEASE USE INTERCONNECTED SMOKE ALARMS! THEY CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!

We can supply a compliant system or there are DIY wireless interconnected 10yr battery smoke alarms by Cavius or PSL fire and Safety.

It is all too common for dangerous smoke detection systems to be signed off as compliant - just because the smoke detectors make a beeping sound!
Did anybody check the sound levels at the sleeping position when the farthest smoke alarm was activated?

I have included excerpts from the building code and NZS4514 for your information.

Did you know that if your home requires more than one smoke alarm, then they must be interconnected.
Contact us if you require compliant smoke alarm systems.
