Intelligent Multi Sensor Detector

The low-profile Advanced Intelligent Multi Sensor Detector,


utilizes a combination of photoelectric and thermal sensing
technologies to monitor two types of fire signatures (smoke
and heat), offering increased immunity to potential false
alarms. The signals from the photoelectric sensing element
and the temperature sensor are completely independent,
and represent the smoke level and the air temperature
respectively in the vicinity of the detector. The built-in
dedicated microprocessor processes the two signals according
to the response/sensitivity mode selection of the device. In
addition, to provide the best protection possible, when utilized
in the multi sensor mode of operation, the saturation of any Unique Features:
