Smoke detection units
April 1st 2007 Fire Fighting Enterprises will be keeping the new Brunei Legislative Council building safe from fire risks. As part of a smoke control system supplied by Singapore-based Acclaim Systems, 14 FFE 50R beamtype smoke detector units are situated in the banquet hall, banquet lobby, main lobby and chamber hall. The Fireray 50R emits an infrared beam up to 50m (with the 100R extending to 100m) onto a reflective prism on an opposing wall intensity received back to determine smoke particle presence, while automatically compensating for building shift and dust build-up. Each beam's detection range can extend up to 7.5m laterally either side, covering a total of 750m2 per unit, thereby protecting broad spaces efficiently and effectively. A ground-level control unit can be added to allow easy, convenient keyswitch testing of the system without the need for ladders or scaffolding, with a serial port allowing functionality to be examined with a laptop or data-logger. Costs, disruptions and aesthetic intrusions are kept to a minimum by housing the transmitter and receiver in the same unit. More articles from Fire Fighting Enterprises: |
