Alarmsense

designed to work with the Alarmsense fire panel

The majority of conventional fire detection systems are designed with two pairs of wires per zone: one pair of wires is used to connect detecting devices-smoke or heat detectors and manual call points-to the control panel. The other is used for alarming devices-for example, bells, sounders or strobes.

Standards and codes of practice for installation have a significant influence on the design of fire detection equipment. Compliance with standards need not, however, lead to rigidity of design, as has sometimes been thought. Many designers of fire protection systems call for both flexibility of design and full compliance with all the relevant standards.

This demand can be met by using AlarmSense-the new conventional range from Apollo.

By using different voltage bands for quiescent and alarm states AlarmSense allows detectors, manual call points, input or output modules and sounders or beacons to be connected to the same pair of wires, thus making installation quicker, less expensive and more flexible.

The Products

The AlarmSense range comprises an optical smoke detector, a rate-of-rise heat detector, a manual call point and a sounder which can be used either as a sounder base for a detector or as a stand-alone sounder. A thermally-enhanced optical detector as well as input modules and output modules will complement the range at a release date to be announced later.

Control Panels

Since AlarmSense products operate on defined voltage bands, it is not possible to connect them to standard control panels which use separate wires for detecting and alarming devices. AlarmSense products must be connected to control panels specifically designed for AlarmSense systems. View the FireSense Alarmsense fire Panel
