The Live LFE10G Heat Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Device is a compact, automatic fire suppression solution specifically designed to protect consumer units, electrical panels, and small enclosures from fire. Installing directly onto a standard 35mm DIN rail, this innovative device activates automatically when internal temperatures reach 170°C, releasing a fire-suppressing aerosol that rapidly extinguishes flames and prevents fire spread within electrical enclosures. Ideal for distribution boards, meter cabinets, and control panels, the LFE10G provides maintenance-free protection for up to 10 years, making it an essential safety upgrade for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations where early fire intervention is critical.
Automatic Heat Activation: Triggers at 170°C without need for external power or control systems.
Rapid Fire Suppression: Discharges extinguishing aerosol in under 6 seconds for immediate fire control.
DIN Rail Mounted: Directly clips onto standard 35mm DIN rail for easy installation in consumer units.
Compact Design: Space-saving dimensions (77mm H x 19mm W x 65mm D) fit neatly alongside circuit breakers.
10 Year Service Life: Maintenance-free operation for a decade, providing long-term peace of mind.
Protects Up to 0.4m³: Ideal for standard consumer units, electrical panels, and small enclosures.
Aerosol Extinguishing Technology: Clean, residue-minimizing agent safe for electrical equipment.
Wide Operating Range: Functions in temperatures from -50°C to +90°C for versatile application.
Standard Compliant: Manufactured to BS EN 15276-1 and BS EN 15276-2 fire suppression standards.
Versatile Mounting Option: Includes 3M adhesive backing for surface mounting if DIN rail unavailable.
No Maintenance Required: Self-contained unit needs no servicing, testing, or refilling during service life.

1. How does the LFE10G activate without batteries or electrical connection?
It contains a thermally-sensitive triggering mechanism that reacts purely to heat. When ambient temperature reaches 170°C, the device activates chemically, releasing the aerosol extinguishing agent without requiring any external power source.
2. Is the aerosol residue safe for sensitive electrical equipment?
Yes, the aerosol compound is specifically formulated for electrical applications, leaving minimal non-conductive residue that won't damage circuit boards, contacts, or insulation, making it ideal for protecting distribution boards and control panels.
3. Can this device be installed in existing consumer units without modification?
Absolutely - it simply clips onto the standard 35mm DIN rail alongside existing circuit breakers, requiring no wiring, plumbing, or structural changes to the enclosure, making retrofitting quick and cost-effective.
4. What happens after the device activates? Does it need replacement?
Once activated, the LFE10G is expended and must be replaced with a new unit. The 10-year service life refers to shelf life before activation - it's a single-use device designed for one-time fire suppression.
5. Is this device sufficient protection for a whole house or just the consumer unit?
It's designed specifically to protect the consumer unit or electrical panel itself (up to 0.4m³), preventing the distribution board from becoming a fire source. For whole-property fire protection, it should complement rather than replace traditional fire alarms and extinguishers.
