Multi-Spectrum™ SS4 Electro-Optical Fire Detector

Multi-Spectrum™ SS4 electro-optical fire detectors are fast reacting, digital, configurable, computerized “smart” units. These detectors have sensitivity to Type A, B, and C flaming fires. Detectors of this design process UV, WideBand Infrared™, and visible (VIS) spectral ranges from ruggedized solar-blind UV, “Quantum-Effect” IR, and visible sensors correspondingly. They are equipped with SRL-BIT (built-in-test) for optical “through the lens” of both the sensors and lens. The detectors have false alarm immunity, and adjustable alarm range between 15 and 60 ft for a 1 ft2 gasoline pan fire with a 120° conical field of view, ± 60° from the axis. Their microprocessor-based algorithms (FirePic™, SnapShot™, and Tri-Mode Plot™) assure time programmable alarm verification, fire signature analysis, and compatibility with standard approved fire alarm panels.SS4 detectors also have the flexibility to be re-configured in the field. Installation is simple, and straightforward operation due to the built-in self-testing feature. Therefore, the maintenance consists mainly in keeping the detector window lens clean and performing periodic testing required by the manufacturer of the fire control and suppression system. Fire alarm LEDs turn off once the fire threat is eliminated, without power cycling of the device.
