Multi-Sensor Fire Detector

The optical smoke and heat, Multi-Sensor Fire Detector combine for a fast and more reliable response to a potential fire, whilst reducing the risk of false alarms. The optical smoke sensor uses an infrared light inside the unit to effectively ‘see’ smoke building up, while the heat element activates an alarm at temperatures between 54°C and 65°C. As a result, you’re less likely to deal with alerts caused by steam, dust or aerosols.

As well as operating independently, the two sensors also combine to produce sensitive responses to freely burning fires, so a rise in heat will trigger the sensitivity of the smoke sensor to lower. Making it capable of detecting a wide range of fires, it is better equipped to prevent a false activation.

With two ultra-bright LED indicating strips, on either side of the detector unit, it is able to provide 360° visibility so they can be seen from any entrance to a room. It also has drift compensation functionality, meaning it can self-calibrate in order to prevent environmental changes having an effect.

Part of C-TEC’s ActiV range of detectors which are produced in the UK, the multi-sensor detector is EN54-7 and EN54-5 certified with an IP42 rating. This needs installing with a suitable detector base (sold separately), and may require optical and heat detectors in other areas, where appropriate.
