ID60 Series - an effective alternative to an application-specific aspirating system Released 28 June 2002 NOTIFIER Fire System’s ID60 family of analogue addressable fire control panels is a cost-effective alternative to an aspirating system for the protection of buildings where computer rooms, control centres and other “mission-critical” or high value areas require the highest possible degree of protection. The ID60 family, consisting of three variants, features NOTIFIER’s enhanced, patented AWACS and DIG software algorithms which provide sophisticated signal processing of the alarm signals from the high performance VIEW™ sensors. The NOTIFIER VIEW™ sensor provides a revolutionary advance in early warning smoke detection technology. The unique design of this sensor, combined with enhanced AWACS & DIG algorithms in the NOTIFIER ID60 series intelligent fire alarm panels, allow smoke detection sensitivity that is 10 to 50 times higher than present photoelectric technology, yet provides a system that is easy to maintain, adaptable and 100% addressable. (DIG) Dynamic Intelligent Grouping allows the ID60 series to combine the analogue values from up to 99 VIEW™ sensors to provide co-operation between them. The ID60 can then make pre-alarm and alarm decisions based on more than one sensor thus increasing sensitivity whilst maintaining false alarm immunity. Using the enhanced patented AWACS & DIG algorithms, the ID60 series provides Drift Compensation, Maintenance Alert, Sensitivity Adjustment, Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm, Dynamic Intelligent Grouping, Lint Trap and Reference Detecting. The ID60 is the entry-level unit, housed in a compact enclosure and providing an easy to install and maintain system. The ID61 includes an optional internally mounted printer and a larger power supply for applications where a large number of loop-powered sounders are required and the ID62 has the additional benefit of 72hr stand-by battery back-up to ensure coverage continues if the mains power supply is interrupted for a long period. All versions support up to 99 smoke, thermal and multi-criteria detectors, plus 99 addressable sounders, call points, control modules and monitor modules on the same loop, managed from the panel. *** Ends: body copy 323 words *** Notes to Editors.
