Introduction

This aspirating detector is a highly sophisticated next generation high sensitivity
aspirating smoke detection product that provides all the benefits of air sampling
high sensitivity smoke detection, including very early warning. Designed for easy
installation and commissioning, the detector 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 various
environments.
This detector operates by drawing air from a protected space via a supervised
piping network in relatively small areas. The sampled air is passed through a
dust separator to remove dust and dirt before entering the laser detection
chamber. State-of-the-art electronics are used to analyse the sampled air and
generate a signal representing the level of smoke present.
ClassiFire intelligence also monitors the detector chamber and dust separator for
contamination, continually adjusting the appropriate operating parameters to
counteract the negative effects of any contamination. Aspirating smoke detectors
are 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 detector can easily be installed without any specialised tools or software.

Available software for the detector

The Remote Control and the SenseNET software packages are available to
program the detector.
• Remote Control software:
software package enables the user to set up and configure the programmable
functions of one or more detectors from a computer connected via an RS-232
serial cable.
• SenseNET software:
large network of detectors with a simple, streamlined graphical user interface
from a computer connected to a detector or command module via an RS-232
serial cable to RS-485 converter interface.
