Stratos-Micra ® is a highly sophisticated 'next generation' of High Sensitivity Aspirating
Smoke Detection product that has been designed to ensure that installation and
commissioning is as simple as possible, while optimising performance.
Stratos-Micra incorporates a patented 'artificial intelligence' known as ClassiFire
which allows the detector to configure itself to optimum sensitivity, alarm thresholds
and minimum nuisance alarms for any environment.
ClassiFire intelligence also monitors the detector chamber and dust separator
for contamination, continually adjusting the appropriate operating parameters to
counteract the negative effects of such contamination.
The Stratos range of detectors is unique in being able to provide a consistent level
of protection in a very wide range of environments by continuously making minor
adjustments to sensitivity.
The Stratos range of detectors has proven its worth many times by detecting 'difficult-
to-detect' slow growth electrical overload incipient fires in 'difficult' environments.
This handbook gives information likely to be needed for most installations, but for
more detailed information on subjects such as Fresh Air Referencing, please refer to the
complete Technical Manual or System Design Guide.
This equipment is Class 111 as defined in EN60950 (i.e., this equipment is designed
to operate from Safety Extra Low Voltages and does not generate any hazardous
voltages).
If this equipment is part of a fire detection system, it should be supplied from an
approved power supply conforming to EN54-4.
This symbol appears on the main board of the unit and indicates that the board
contains static sensitive components. Suitable anti-static precautions must be taken
when handling the board.
This label is located on the laser chamber and signifies that the unit is a Class 1 Laser
product as specified in IEC 60825-1. The unit incorporates a Class 3B embedded laser
which must not be removed from the detector as retinal damage may result if the laser
beam enters the eye.
This symbol indicates the Safety Earth stud (see section 6.2). This is for grounding cable
screens and should not be connected to 0V or signal earth.
Kidde Products Ltd. has taken every care to ensure that Stratos-Micra is as simple to install
