Wireless smoke alarms for people with disabilities typically use visual or tactile alarms, such as strobe lights and vibrating pillow pads, to notify users who are deaf or hard of hearing. The Anka Security system uses LED strobe and vibration technology to trigger these additional alarms.
How They Work
Sound Activation: The system listens for the sound of a standard smoke alarm.
Wireless Triggering: When a smoke alarm is detected, the system sends a wireless signal.
Alarm Device: This signal activates a paired alarm device, which may include:
Vibrating Pads: Placed under pillows or mattresses, these devices vibrate to wake the user.
Strobe Lights: A powerful strobe light provides a visual alert.
Remote Display: Some systems may also include a screen that displays a “Fire” message.
Anka Security offers a variety of interconnected alarm and transmitter systems that can be connected to smoke and CO detectors.
Important Notes
Interoperability:
Many of these systems can be interconnected with traditional audible alarms in different parts of the home to provide comprehensive alerts.
Dedicated Alarms:
Some people may benefit from specialized low-frequency smoke alarms that produce high-frequency tones more easily heard by those with hearing loss.
