Unique features enable Series 300 smoke detectors to act conventionally, think intelligently Released 22 October 2001 System Sensor Europe's latest development, the Series 300 family of conventional detectors, combines the sophistication of an analogue addressable unit with the low cost, ease of installation and simplicity of a conventional detector. The family consists of a true multi-sensor photo-thermal unit, a photoelectric smoke detector and heat detectors; all versions are backwards compatible with System Sensor's existing conventional bases, enabling upgrades and extensions to be easily achieved. The family incorporates several unique features. Each detector can be allocated a numeric address that will be displayed on a transition module when the unit goes into alarm, enabling the source of the fire to be accurately identified. Automatic drift compensation is built-in and a remote programmer unit enables the sensitivity to be adjusted, maintenance dates to be read and written to the device, chamber contamination levels to be read and the unit set into alarm, all from ground level. Commissioning and maintenance times will be minimised and the effectiveness of the fire system enhanced. Series 300 is a significant step forward in conventional detection technology, bringing the increased protection offered by an intelligent system to smaller and less complex conventional fire systems. *** Ends: body copy 190 words *** Notes to Editors.
