Geofire Agrippa Sound Activated Fire Door Closer

The Geofire Agrippa Acoustic Door Closer

The Geofire Agrippa sound activated door closer combines innovation with reliability, providing a dependable fire safety solution. 

Its free swing mode allows the door to remain open at any angle within the adjustable latching range of 65° to 105°, with 90° being the most common setting.

Wireless Convenience: Battery Operated Door Closer

The Agrippa battery operated fire door closer eliminates the need for complex wiring into the building’s fire alarm system and power, making it ideal for new installations, retrofitting projects, and remote areas in facilities where wiring can be difficult to access. 

Powered by two alkaline C-cell batteries, the device is fail safe and closes the door automatically if the batteries run out.

Maintaining The Agrippa Acoustic Fire Door Closer

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the Agrippa door closer operates effectively. Perform weekly fire alarm tests to verify door release within 20 seconds. If full testing isn't feasible, the closer can enter test mode at a press of a button for quick validation and will respond within 4 seconds.

• Battery replacement: Annually, or as indicated by the low battery warning.
• Long term reliability: The unit retains its settings, except time, after battery changes to simplify upkeep. The current time must be entered if the daily release timer has been set up.

Sound Activated Technology for Precise Operation

Unlike traditional electromagnetic door closers, the Agrippa uses advanced "listen and learn" technology to recognise your fire alarm's sound. This ensures the closer responds and closes the fire door during an emergency to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.

• Not suitable for domestic smoke alarms or voice alarms: Designed for environments with continuous tone fire alarms.
• Reduces false activations: The closer learns to ignore background noise to minimise false activation and ensure reliable performance.

Ideal Applications for The Agrippa Wireless Fire Door Closer

This Geofire Agrippa closer is particularly suited to environments where fire doors need to remain open for accessibility and ventilation but must close during a fire emergency. Popular settings include:

• Care homes: Aids resident mobility while ensuring fire safety compliance.
• Hospitals: Maintains easy access for staff and patients.
• Schools: Improves day-to-day functionality without compromising fire safety.
• Offices: Provides a clean, professional appearance with practical benefits.

This door closer has swing free functionality which enables the door to remain open at any angle it is left. However, for high traffic areas, an electromagnetic hold open door closer may be a better choice, as it keeps the door securely open at a fixed angle, ensuring a consistently clear and accessible pathway.

The Agrippa Range

The wireless design of the Geofire Agrippa fire door closer makes installation straightforward, while its sound activated technology delivers exceptional accuracy and dependability. Similarly, the Agrippa electro magnetic fire door holder utilises the same advanced technology. It can be retrofitted and paired with an existing mechanical door closer to provide a secure hold open function for fire doors, improving safety and compliance.
