Potter Releases PAD200-PCD Multisensor Detector
Potter’s PAD200-PCD detector uses photoelectric smoke detection and features drift compensation with a built-in dirty detector warning.
ST. LOUIS — Potter Electric Signal Co. announces the release of the PAD200-PCD Photo/CO combo device.
By combining multiple elements of fire detection (smoke and CO) into a single device, Potter says the PAD200-PCD smoke/CO detector reduces cost and installation time. The detector is compliant with UL 268, UL 2075 and UL 521 7th Edition.
The PAD200-PCD detector uses photoelectric smoke detection and features drift compensation with a built-in dirty detector warning. The carbon monoxide sensing portion uses an electrochemical sensor for accurate detection of CO gas. The PAD200-PCHD incorporates both above elements with a thermistor for accurate and reliable heat detection, according to the company.
“We at Potter Electric are excited to introduce the PAD200-PCD and PAD200-PCHD. These detectors will round out our detector portfolio, bringing more options to our customers,” says Amy Liedman, Potter’s director of product management for fire and security. “These detectors offer our customers reliable multisensor detection and prevent false alarms, along with flexible sensor programming to accommodate customer and building requirements.”
