Specifiers and installers who choose the Multipoint detector do so secure in the knowledge that the fire detection performance of the detector can be matched to the environment in which it is installed, and changed at anytime during the lifetime of the installation. The mode of detection required can be simply set by configuring the DIL switch in the detector electronics module. All modes are compliant with European detector type specifications, and are suitable for use in installations compliant with BS5839:part 1: 2002.
Modes Of Detection
SMOKE 1
Highly thermally enhanced optical. Used where ionisation detectors are normally fitted, especially when there are high cielings or a risk of free burning fires.
SMOKE 2
Thermally enchanced optical.
Used where optical detectors are normally fitted, when there is a risk of a smouldering fire and for escape routes.
SMOKE 3
Thermally enhanced optical pulse rejection.
Used where optical detectors are normally used in positions exposed to brief concentrations of water vapour or smoke, e.g. from a bathroom, kettle etc.
HEAT 1
Rate of rise to 58 degrees C
Used where a standard rate of rise detector would normally be used.
HEAT 2
Low fixed temperature 58 degrees C
Used where a standard fixed temperature heat detector would normally be fitted, suitable for kitchens etc.
HEAT 3
High fixed temperature 90 degrees C
Used where a high fixed temperature heat detector would normally be fitted, suitable for boiler rooms, commercial kitchens etc.
SMOKE 2/HEAT 2
A combination mode of smoke 2 and Heat 2 will trigger with either a smoke or heat source.
