Now grilles can be used to secure areas of a building without the fear of entrapment in the event of an emergency. Activated by Building Alarm, the ACE Grille is wired into the central building alarm system when there is an alarm situation. Upon alarm activation, if the ACE Grille is closed it will automatically open to the fully opened position without the use of a motor or battery backup system.
This fail-safe system will operate in the absence of power. The areas secured by the ACE Grille will then be accessible for emergency egress.
The ACE Grille meets all of the standards for Fail-Safe devices. It will open during an alarm activation or during a power failure without the use of any external forces. It automatically resets itself once the alarm system is reset and power is resumed to the ACE Grille motor operator.
