Series 300 conventional detector family wins prestigious French Innovation Award Released 17 December 2002 Chubb Sécurité, one of France's leading fire and security companies, has won the concours de l'innovation award for its C.Scan+ conventional fire detection system. The award, judged by journalists, members of the profession and end users, was presented at the recent 19th Salon de la Protection et de la Sécurité, held in Paris. Based on the highly successful Series 300 family, manufactured by System Sensor Europe, the world's largest detector manufacturer, the C.Scan+ detectors are produced to Chubb Sécurité's own specification. Approved by AFNOR and Certified by CNMIS to EN 54, the true multi-sensor photo-thermal, photoelectric and thermal detectors combine the sophistication of an analogue addressable unit with the low cost, ease of installation and simplicity of a conventional detector. Automatic drift compensation is built-in to the multi-sensor and photo-electric units; a unique 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. System Sensor Europe has a long-established partnership relationship with Chubb Sécurité; the success of the C.Scan+ family is testimony to the close co-operation between the two companies in product development, marketing and technical matters. *** Ends: body copy 202 words *** Notes to Editors.
