Looking to upgrade your legacy manual reset breakglass? The Jack Fuse Electronic Break Glass is a part-for-part replacement, using the same mounting pattern as KAC and other traditional break glass units. This allows efficient, hassle-free retrofits. Even the existing mounting box can be reused, which is helpful when cables enter from the side. Back box […]

Why use a protected power distribution module in your security system? Redundancy – Fire Protection – Cost Savings A fused power distribution module (PDM) adds resilience, compliance and peace of mind to your security system, all while saving costs. Redundancy.Relying on overcurrent protection from a single source, such as a power supply fuse, is a […]

We have been getting feedback from security integrators that competing companies and/or clients have insisted that a software or firmware-based fire trip is adequate for the release of doors during a fire alarm. Read on to find out why a software fire trip is a fundamentally flawed practice. A software/firmware trip is an interface to […]

Are break-glass activations leaving your buildings compromised and costing your business? Think of your most recent activation. ·      Was it a genuine emergency?·      How long was the door unsecured?·      How much did the reset cost?·      Were security resources diverted or distracted from other tasks? The Electronic Break Glass from Jack Fuse improves security outcomes and reduces costs when compared […]

The Jack Fuse electronic break glass can be used as a direct KAC break glass replacement using the same fixings or even the existing green base. The supplied EBG base has mounting holes that match both the original KAC (and many other brands of emergency door release) mounting holes. This allows the entire KAC break […]

In the Jack Fuse Power Port installation manuals and online learning, we state that you can use a NC (normally closed) signal from the FIP to control the fire relay on our Power Port modules. We also state that this signal should not be used in parallel to drive other Power Port fire relays. In […]

Another new Jack Fuse product for August! The ARK adds permanent weather resistance and strength to ATMOD EOL resistor terminations. This helps protect the ATMOD in challenging environments. Each pack contains two sizes of adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing suitable for 8 ATMOD terminations. 16 small tubes and 8 large tubes are included to accommodate different […]

Jack Fuse is excited to announce the addition of a new product to our line-up. The HSMA-4 is used to efficiently connect BQT High Security Modules in line with reader/access controller cabling.

The ability to escape a building during a fire alarm event is obviously a vital component of building design that can help ensure occupants’ safety. In Australia there are legislated rules that dictate how this function must be achieved in combination with electronically locked doors. The rules are laid out in the National Construction Code […]

End of line (EOL) resistor circuits are one of the basic building blocks of security and access control systems. Field devices such as reed switches, duress buttons, motion sensors and locks all use EOL circuits to tell the security panel the device state and help to ensure that the cable serving each device is kept […]

Electric strikes are a popular choice for securing doors, for good reason, they are a cost-effective and versatile option. Electric strikes work with standard door hardware and can be configured to fail secure or fail-safe.  They often also have outputs for monitoring the status of the locking solenoid (Lock Status Sensor, LSS) and the position […]

The ATMOD is the fastest way to add EOL resistors to security and access control systems. This animation shows the termination process. There is an ATMOD model to suit all alarm, access control and security panels.
