Part of the Series 200 plus analogue addressable family, Pinnacle is up to 100 times more sensitive than a standard photoelectric detector, allowing it to be set to a sensitivity of just 0.02%/foot, providing the earliest possible warning of fire. Pinnacle is an extremely cost effective and higher performance alternative to aspirated systems. As a point detector within an addressable fire system, the detector itself is fully supervised and can be mixed on a loop with all other types of smoke and heat detector. Two stage drift compensation ensures peak performance between service intervals and the sensitivity is adjustable from the panel in nine discrete steps from 0.02% to 2.0%/foot. Sophisticated onboard algorithms distinguish between transient dust-induced signals and real smoke, giving very early warning combined with high stability. Group polling can also be used to compare the pre-alarm signal from any one detector with the adjacent ones. By using point type detectors the source of smoke is readily identified to a single detector rather than, as is the case with an aspiration system, a general area helping in the accurate and timely intervention of automatic or manual fire suppression systems. Additionally, unsightly sampling pipes do not have to be installed or maintained. *** Ends: body copy 250 words *** Notes to Editors.
