When discussing fire detection with a Fire alarm design, Photoelectric or as known as Optical Smoke Detectors are capable of detecting visible combustion gases emanating from fires and shall employ the forward light-scatter principle.
The point-type optical smoke detectors shall be equally sensitive to a wide range of combustible materials and are used on wired and wireless fire alarm systems also known as Radio fire alarms.
The design of the point-type optical smoke detector sensing chamber shall be optimised to minimise the effect of dust deposit over a period of time. Dust can cause problems with fire detection, so the later more modern detectors limit the effect dust can have on their detectors.
Fire Systems ltd use the Sterling wireless fire alarms/Radio fire alarms with the Argus protocol. This protocol can handle 256 devices per loop.
