Smoke detector installation seems to be a simple application. However, organizations such as the NFPA and UL have taken considerable time and money to document the important rules for fire-safety and protection. You must do the same.
New video-based technology equipped with smart AI algorithms has revolutionized safety monitoring, so no risk of fire or combustion goes undetected — in all conditions, 24/7.
Potter’s PAD200-PCD detector uses photoelectric smoke detection and features drift compensation with a built-in dirty detector warning.
Calibrated test method, a manufacturer’s calibrated sensitivity test instrument and listed control equipment arranged for the purpose are a few methods laid out in NFPA 72.
Fire/life-safety expert Shane Clary reviews the requirements and methods for testing smoke detector sensitivity per NFPA 72.
The Kidde multi-criteria Intelligent Optica smoke detector can replace legacy Kidde Intelligent, GSA Series and V-Series detectors without programming updates to Kidde VS and VM fire panels.
Over the years, heat detectors have evolved so that their time of detection is shortened and when used properly, can provide detection in areas that smoke detectors cannot venture into.
Smoke detectors and alarms are migrating from just the detection of smoke, to combination detectors and multicriteria detectors.
The new detectors feature updated optical sensors and detection algorithms, including encryption technology for more secure communication with 2GIG eSeries security panels.
