Description
SK-FIRE-CO-W is a plug-in, addressable device that provides both fire and carbon
monoxide (CO) detection. The detector combines four separate sensing elements to
sense multiple components of a fire: smoke, CO, light/flame, and heat. This approach
enables enhanced sensitivity to real fire with heightened immunity to nuisance
particulates. For CO, the detector’s electrochemical sensing cell creates a separate
signal for life safety CO detection.
Multiple sensors and communication can greatly reduce nuisance alarms compared
to single sensing methods. Sophisticated algorithms maximize the advantages of all
four sensor types creating our best detection strategy offering heightened immunity
to nuisance particulate and enhanced sensitivity to real fire.
• Photoelectric sensors detect airborne particles associated with smoke.
• Thermal sensors detect heat and rate-of-rise (135°F fixed temperature threshold).
• Infrared sensors discern light patterns in the environment as an additional data
point for alarm determination.
