Specialty Detection Systems

Flame detectors include a variety of model types, including triple and multi-spectrum IR type units as well as combination UV/IR detectors.  These units can be connected to detection systems either by contact outputs, 4 – 20 ma analog signals or via intelligent connections such as Modbus and HART.  Manufacturers that provide these types of devices include Honeywell, Autronica, General Monitors, MSA, Spectrex and Detector Electronics. 

​

High Sensitivity Smoke Detection (HSSD) systems generally consist of a laser particle counter detector head, a high efficiency fan module and a termination board. These systems are connected to a pipe smoke sampling network designed using proprietary software.

​

They are generally designed for early warning smoke detection applications such as telecommunications facilities, data processing facilities, museums and warehouses.  The Kidde AIR-Intelligence system is an example of this type of detection technology.

​

Linear heat detection such as the Kidde LHS system provides a means to detect high heat events over a long distance, such as warehouses and conveyors.  These systems are interfaced to a control panel to provide specific information regarding the high heat situation.
