Jack Fuse is excited to launch our first new product of 2025 the Lodestar. The Lodestar provides a clear indication of an alarm event or alarm status. An all-in-one solution, the Lodestar provides audible and visual warning or confirmation. Eleven adhesive labels are supplied that allow the Lodestar to be customised to a specific alarm […]

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
Don’t use a NC fire alarm signal in parallel for multiple fuse modules. Read More »
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 BQT HSM simply plugs into the matching connectors on the adaptor. Card reader and controller cables are then quickly connected via pluggable

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
Why you shouldn’t use the resistors that come with security panels. Read More »
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
Electric strike tongue sense as REX. A flawed practice. Read More »
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.
