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.
The VESDA-E VES sector addressability provides individually configurable alarm levels for each of the four sectors for early detection.
Fire-safety expert Shane Clary traveled to the U.K to attend Interflam 2019, where he examined an academic study on the causes of false fire alarms.
The new Kidde smoke alarms are said to be the first to meet the new UL 217 safety standard for distinguishing real fires from harmless smoke.
This session will help integrators better understand the needs and market demands of their retail customers.
