Indexa: Stove Guard SGK5010 with Automatic Stove Cut-Off
Approximately 50 percent of all household fires start in the kitchen, most of them caused by the cooker. However, due to the high risk of false alarms the installation of smoke detectors in kitchens is not recommendable.
Clever Protection against Kitchen Fires
A new device can help to prevent kitchen fires: the stove guard SGK5010 from Indexa. The stove guard consists of a sensor and a control unit. The integrated infrared and temperature sensor measures temperature and rate of temperature changes. If the integrated software detects a dangerous situation, the sensor unit triggers an 80 dB(A) alarm signal. This can be the case if the cooker becomes too hot, a pan on the cooker catches fire or if a cooker is left switched on for a long time. Additionally, a radio signal is sent to the control unit which automatically cuts off the electricity supply. Thus, fires can be prevented and inhabitants are not harmed by toxic gases.
The alarm signal can be silenced by pressing a button on the device. One minute before the main alarm, there is a pre-alarm. During the pre-alarm, the stove guard can be reset and the cooker is not switched off. Thereby, the sensitivity of the device is intuitively adjusted to the users' cooking habits.
Suitable for Electric Hobs
The stove guard can be installed quickly and easily and is compatible with all electric cooker types. The sensor unit is attached to the cooker hood with the integrated magnets or can be installed to the ceiling or wall, the control unit can be installed by an electrician between the power outlet and the cooker. Whether in private houses, residential homes, flats of elderly people or people with dementia: The stove guard makes the kitchen safer and fosters independent living. The appliance meets the European norm EN 50615:2015 category B for devices to prevent kitchen fires.
