Aspirating Smoke Detectors Series FAS-420 – Special environments require very early detection
Bosch adds a new version to its existing range of Aspirating Smoke Detectors named FAS-420-TM Series.
Innovations
Technological highlights for reliable detection
- the detector generates a vacuum in the sampling pipes to ensure continuous air intake from the monitored areas
- these actively obtained air samples are channelled through a sensitive optical sensor in a detection chamber to check for smoke particles
- an intelligent signal processor then analyzes the measured data and decises whether there are any typical fire patterns
- environmental effects that might cause false alarms are suppressed
- extremely high sensitivity with High-Power Light Source (HPLS)
FAS-420-TM Series - Compact solution for protecting areas of up to 400 square meters
- a new version in the existing range of ASD
- affordable and compact solution for areas as large as 400 square meters
- determines the locations of any detected fires
- featuring innovative air flow sensors, it supports up to eight aspiration openings with a single 40-meter pipe or two 25-meter pipes
Fire localization with ROOM-IDENT
ROOM-IDENT enables both very early detection and localization of fires. It tracks down the fire source in four phases, displaying the result both on the unit and in front of the affected room (optional).
Benefits
Highly reliable detection for early warning
- detection of fire when they are just beginning (in the "pyrolysis" phase)
- highly sensitive sensors´ detection of the presence of a fire before a release of visible smoke
- reliable prevention of major damage in most cases
Minimization of false alarms
- higher sensitivity
- reliable operation even in challenging situations with high ceilings, extreme temperatures, dirt or moisture
Flexible placement and maintenance
- possibility to be installed externally for monitoring double floors and cable conduits
- easily access for maintenance personnel
- unobtrusively integration into buildings
The intelligent pipe system
- constantly and intelligently monitor for breakage and obstruction
- freely set sensitivity, all the way to single hole monitoring
- temperature-compensated and programmed function to take atmospheric pressure into account
Local Security Network functionality
- the master-slave principle, with all smoke detectors, remote indicators, fire alarm devices, intrusion detectors, keypads, arming devices and sounders connected to it
- flexible structure with loop, stub or tree-off configurations
- additionally extension by interfaces with inputs and outputs and zone expanders
- power and data transmission via two wires
Features
FAS-420-TM Series
It can monitor up to five rooms determined the locations of any detected fires. Featuring innovative air flow sensors, it supports up to eight aspiration openings with a single 40-meter pipe or two 25-meter pipes. It is an appropriate solution for areas as large as 400 square meters. The range of possible applications includes hotel rooms, small server rooms, small high-rise warehouses, etc.
FAS-420-TP Series
It can be used with one and two detectors. With two detectors, the two detector dependency can be applied. Up to 48 aspiration openings are supported per system, with a maximum pipe length of 360 meters. The system can be optionally networked. The applications include production plants, clean rooms and large server rooms, depending on the size of the area requiring protection.
FAS-420-TT Series
It provides a ten-digit bar graph for monitoring smoke pollution (also available in a MicroSens version). Two modules can be deployed to double the surveyed area; they can also be linked so that two detectors must confirm a fire before an alarm is triggered. Up to 48 aspiration openings are supported per system, with a maximum pipe length of 360 meters. The range of applications includes manufacturing facilities, clean rooms and large server rooms.
Applications
Thanks to their outstanding features, the smoke aspiration systems from Bosch can be used almost anywhere. Their many applications include:
- clean rooms
- high-rise warehouses
- factories
- conveyor belts
- paper mills
- recycling plants
- data centers
- false floors
- cable conduits
- switch cabinets
- telecommunications equipment
- high-voltage facilities
- EMC testing areas
- glazed buildings
- elevator shafts
- escalators
- car parks
- modern and historic buildings
- libraries
- saunas
- hotel rooms
- prison cells
- etc.
