Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector for Difficult Environments

Intelligent Photoelectric

Smoke Detector for

Difficult Environments

Filtrex

®

provides protection in dirty, dusty environments that tend to cause false alarms with standard smoke detectors.

Features

• Intelligent communications

• High density filter removes particulate down to 32 microns

• Air delivery system is separately powered and fully supervised

• Filter is easily field replaceable

• Resistant to water spray in applications where occasional hosedown cleaning is performed

• Optional remote LED accessory

• Rotary decade address switches

• Compatible with 200 and 500 Series products’ protocol

• No modification required to panels compatible with System Sensor intelligent photoelectric smoke detectors

The Filtrex smoke detector from System Sensor provides early warning smoke detection in difficult environments where traditional smoke detectors are not practical.

Operation:

Using a small air intake fan and a high density replaceable filter, air and smoke are drawn into a photoelectric sensing chamber while airborne particulate and water spray are removed. When the filter becomes too clogged to draw adequate air into the sensing chamber, power is cut from the detector, causing a trouble signal at the fire alarm control panel. When the filter is replaced, power-up is automatic.

Applications:

Animal research facilities

Institutional laundry facilities

Amusement parks

Zoos

Performance theatres

Loading docks

Paper mills

Textile mills
