Fire detection systems

Speed and reliability.

Fire detection lays the foundation for an effective and optimal function of the system.
The prerequisite is a warning system that identifies typical criteria of fires and deflagrations –
not only fast, but also safely.

Fire detection:
The infrared detector identifies the flame on two of the typical ray emission lines .


Optical detectors no longer meet these requirements:

Each of these detectors contains two sensors with the sensitive response to irradiating light of various wavelengths.

The series connection of two sensors operating in varying frequency ranges thus guarantees a high degree of error alarm safety, compared with solar irradiation.
