Become a certified installer!
IMPORTANT! To be able to install the MAUS Stixx PRO series in someone else’s property other than your own, you need to be certified. As a certified installer, you will have the possibility to register each installation using unique QR codes that you place on the outside of the electric enclosures. With the QR codes every electric enclosure will have it’s own website with information about the installation. You can do the training now online and get certified. The training takes about 15-30 minutes. See a short summary with clips from the training video to the right. The introduction (the first part of the training) is free and you will receive a certificate upon completion of the course.
Awards
“MAUS product is ingenous! Simple with focus on safety!” That’s what the jury members Ivan Ahlenblom at Elinstallatören and Ninni Blom at the Swedish Electricians’ Association said when they named MAUS Stixx PRO as the Electrical Innovation of the Year. ABB (ASEA Brown Boveri) had won two years in a row, but this time MAUS took the first place. MAUS Stixx PRO has also won innovation awards in Ireland and France in the past year.

Patent
The MAUS Stixx PRO series is a Swedish innovation and, in addition to worldwide trademark protection, has both design and utility patents.
“The aerosol is in the form of a potassium compound. Potassium radicals can stop the chemical reactions taking place in a fire by neutralizing hydrogen, oxygen and hydroxy radicals in the flame. The fine fire extinguishing particles are a very effective extinguishing agent. Small particles will float in the surrounding air a longer time compared to larger particles. The extended floating time can contribute to increased protection against re-ignition.”

Reasons for fires in electrical enclosures
Badly routed or old cables
Even electricity has a best-before date, and when this is passed, the electricity system poses a risk. It is age that causes old materials to weather and also the influence of the surrounding materials.
Lightning strikes
“At half past nine, an alarm was received about the smell of smoke in a villa in Slafsinge just north of Falkenberg. The emergency services suspect that a lightning strike is the cause. The fire must have started in the villa’s electrical central.” Source Swedish Television: SVT
Bad components
If the electronics are cheap, it is probably the case that inferior components and materials were used. To compensate for the poor earnings, these are manufactured in mass editions, says Tomas Ekman at Länsförsäkringar Insurance Company (www.lansforsakringar.se). Electrical material is also a consumable with a limited lifespan.
Loose components
If everything is not tight and the contacts are loose, it will easily become hot inside the electrical center and if it is not detected in time, it can after a while result in a fire. A gaping main fuse can be a death trap.
