ProSeries - Aspirating Fire Detection

What is Air Sampling Fire Detection?

Air Sampling, also know as aspirating, fire detection utilizes an aspirator, and a supervised sample pipe network to return air samples from an environment that is being protected, back to a detection unit for analysis.  The air sample is drawn into the pipe network through either holes drilled in the pipe, a capillary or extended drop from the pipe, or sample heads which can be either adjustable or non-adjustable.  Each of these methods use flow calculations to determine sample hole sizes, pressure drops and acceptable pipe lengths to be sure the system meets NFPA guidelines.  Below are details for each of these methods

Why ProSeries?

The new advanced CCD (Cloud Chamber Detection) technology from Protec combines the benefits of spot, laser, and cloud chamber detection into a single detector. Unlike laser and conventional systems, ProSeries detectors using CCD technology only detect combustion. CCD technology is immune to false alarms from dirt, dust, temperature and humidity which plague other early warning air sampling and spot detectors.

• No False Alarms

• Detects in All Four Stages of Fire

*Obscuration (obs/ft) - Percentage of light decrease per foot
 due to smoke, dirt, dust or pollutants in an environment. CCD
 technology only senses combustion and can detect from zero
 to 100% obs/ft. while remaining immune to false alarms.

Three Aspirator Options to Suit Your Application

ProSeries detectors are available with several aspirator options for optimal performance. In addition to new detection technologies, a larger aspirator means more power and greater performance for special hazard applications.

An aspirator’s pressure rating, in Pascal (Pa), is the measurement of the detector’s ability to sample which effects the total length of pipe, number of sampling points, and area of detection.

Widest Range of Detectors to Fit Your Specific Needs

No one detector can meet the needs of every application.  Determining the proper detector for your application is critical since no two applications are alike.  With three aspirator types, multiple zones, multifunction LCD display and multiple networking options, ProSeries offers a detector right for your application.
