Firechief launches updated kitchen stove guard

Firechief has launched the FSW1E Kitchen Stove Guard, an updated version of its FSW1 model for electric stoves in higher risk kitchen settings.

Firechief said the new unit uses an 8×8 matrix heat detection sensor to monitor cooking activity and cut the electricity supply to the hob before a fire can take hold.

The system uses heat detection rather than smoke detection. It has a single control unit that comes factory paired with its sensor.

The unit can be mounted on a hood, wall or ceiling. Self-adhesive brackets are included as standard.

Firechief stated that the product is tested and certified to BS EN 50615:2015 Category B and carries CE and UKCA marking.

Professional installation is required. The product is intended for electric stoves.

It is described as suitable for sheltered housing, student accommodation, supported living facilities, high-rise apartments and settings where distraction or memory difficulties may increase the risk of cooking being left unattended.

App and installation details

Firechief said a dedicated installer app is available for iOS and Android for the FSW1E.

Using Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity, the app allows installers to view system status, configure stove type and sensor placement, and set programmable automatic safe timer limits from a mobile device during installation.

The app is designed for installers only.

The FSW1E is available now and remains part of the Firechief Kitchen Stove Guard range alongside the existing FSW1 model.

Ian Poole, Sales Director, Firechief Global, said: “The FSW1E builds on everything that made the FSW1 a trusted choice for installers, and takes it further.

“The factory-paired sensor and single control unit make installation more straightforward, the new app gives engineers real control during commissioning, and the BS EN 50615 certification gives specifiers and housing managers the confidence to recommend it without hesitation.

“This is a product that genuinely reduces risk in some of the most vulnerable settings our customers work in.”

LGM Products Signaline HD+ receives UAE Civil Defence approval

Signaline HD+ programmable linear heat detector has received approval from UAE Civil Defence, expanding its certification for use in fire detection systems.

According to LGM Products, the approval applies to the Signaline HD+ range, which launched in 2025 and allows users to programme alarm temperatures and reset the system after activation.

The detector supports both fixed temperature and rate-of-rise alarm settings.

Its pre-alarm function allows warnings at temperatures as low as 45°C.

The product already holds certification to EN54 standards and UL standards.

The additional approval confirms its eligibility for deployment in UAE Civil Defence-compliant fire detection systems.

LGM Products highlights certification and Intersec exhibition presence

LGM stated that the approval follows earlier UAE Civil Defence certification secured in 2024 for the Signaline FT-EN range.

The Signaline HD+ range adds programmable functionality to the company’s linear heat detection portfolio.

The company participated in Intersec 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 12 to 14 January 2026, where it presented its fire detection systems to global visitors.

Intersec featured over 1,400 exhibitors and attracted more than 50,000 visitors from over 140 countries.

Dan Smith, Sales Director at LGM Products, said: “We are really looking forward to showcasing Signaline to the global stage.

“Our commitment to international and local approvals has meant we have the most approved Linear Heat Detection range on the market.”

Smith added: “The Middle East is a strategically important market for Signaline and with recent local approval obtained, we have seen progressive market growth.

“Our products are also aligned to the development of green technological advances being targeted by the GCC region, especially the expansion of solar energy.”

The certification extends the company’s approved linear heat detection range for deployment in UAE-regulated projects.

Signaline Splice Kit released by LGM for cable connection applications

LGM splice kit introduced for linear heat detection connections

LGM Products has introduced the Signaline Splice Kit to enable secure connections between lengths of linear heat detection cable and leader cable.

LGM announced the release as part of its Signaline Linear Heat Detection (LHD) system accessories.

The splice kit is designed for applications where standard connection boxes or end-of-line enclosures cannot be secured to a surface.

These conditions can arise in installations such as solar systems or transformers where no suitable mounting surface is available.

The splice kit connects two cable lengths using two IP68 rated cable glands and a connector gasket.

The unit is lightweight and relies on the tensile strength of the linear heat detection cable to hold it in place.

It can be assembled quickly onsite to create a secure cable connection.

Environmental ratings and system compatibility

According to LGM Products, the Signaline Splice Kit provides IP68 and fire-rated protection.

The unit also carries UL approval and is UV rated for use in environments exposed to weather and environmental stress.

These ratings support compatibility with Signaline linear heat detection systems in applications where environmental protection and secure cable joining are required.

The splice kit expands the available connection options within the Signaline system where surface-mounted connection enclosures cannot be used.
