Areas Of Application - Bosch FCS-320-TP2 Operation Manuals

Aspirating Smoke Detector
The small airflow unit also contains a dynamic airflow sensor that enables a response to small
and fast changes in the airflow.
Patented air sampling openings
The air sampling openings of the pipe system require clearly defined bore diameters that
depend on the planning and design. These precise air sampling openings are created using
patented aspiration reducing film sheets, marking tape, and clips, which not only permit easy
installation, but also prevent "whistling" noises. Another advantage is the quick and easy
detection and checking of the air sampling opening diameters.
Point-type detector projection
The system's aspiration points can be equated with point-type smoke detectors. The
monitoring areas can therefore be planned in accordance with the applicable national
regulations.
Diagnostics
There is a system available with the FAS-ASD-DIAGdiagnostic software that enables quick and
convenient error containment for maintenance and service. The current and stored unit status
is read out via cable data transmission to the PC.
Selecting the fan voltage
The fan voltage for special planning can be increased from 6.9 V to 9 V by relocating the fan
jumper. This increases the air transport speed and therefore reduces detection time.

Areas of application

Thanks to their detection principle, FCS-320 aspirating smoke detectors represent an
extremely versatile fire protection solution.
Principle
Air samples are taken from the monitoring range by a pipe system with defined aspiration
borings and then fed to the detection module.
This is especially well-suited for areas in which point-type detectors cannot be used or can
only be used under certain circumstances. These include:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Space protection
The FCS-320 series is suitable for monitoring areas such as
–
–
–
–
–
–
Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH
Areas that are difficult to access, in which point detectors are difficult to install and
maintain
Air-conditioned areas
Areas that require the earliest detection possible
Areas with a height greater than that allowed for point detectors
Areas in which point detectors are not desired for aesthetic reasons
Areas in which strong electromagnetic fields occur
Areas that are exposed to high or low temperatures
Areas with contaminated air that require filter elements
Areas that must be protected against vandalism.
Those with double floors, false ceilings
Tunnels, ducts, barely accessible hollow spaces
Storage, high-rise warehouses, elevator shafts
Museums, cultural institutions
Hotel rooms, hospital rooms, offices, prison cells, train compartments
Freezer storage
