Flame detector sensors report the presence of visible fires within a protected area. Smoke detectors respondto the combustion products emitted by burning materials. Heat Detectors respond to excessively high temperatures in the protected area, which are presumed to be the result of a fire in the area. Fire Standards require the use of Manual Alarm Stations in all areas occupied by people.
Flame detectors, also known as optical flame detector sensors, report the presence of visible fires within a protected area. All flames emit visible light plus invisible infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Our UV or UVIR flame detector sensors use these invisible radiations to distinguish between a real flame and other sources of radiation that are visible to the detector. The flame detector may be connected to a fire alarm control system, or can function as a stand alone device to alert personnel or to shut down equipment in case of a fire. 
Smoke detectors respond to the combustion products emitted by burning materials. All smoke detectors report fires that emit visible smoke. Smoke detectors using ionization techniques for detection can also respond to fires which produce little or no visible smoke. Our smoke detectors are almost always connected our NOVA-5000 Fire Alarm Control System to report conditions to a central control point and alert personnel. For special applications, our smoke detectors are also available as a stand alone device.
A combustible gas is any gas that will burn. Mixtures of combustible gases with air, when ignited, produce an explosion. Use a combustible gas sensor to insure that the percentage of gas in the air can never get high enough for the mixture to burn. When gas is sensed, try to replace the gas/air mixture with fresh air. If this cannot be accomplished, then shut down all equipment and evacuate all personnel from the area. Use these sensors to check for methane (natural gas), propane, butane, ethane, pentane, LNG, LPG, hydrogen and other combustible gases. Specific models include methane gas detectors, hydrogen gas detectors, propane gas detectors, butane gas detectors, toluene gas detectors, hexane gas detectors, and others.
Installation and Calibration Accessories include junction boxes for mounting sensors on walls, ceilings or air ducts. Additional accessories available to protect sensors from water or dust, and test gas for verifying sensor performance.

A toxic gas is any gas that, when inhaled, will produce some adverse effect on the person or animal. Toxic gases in large concentrations can produce unconsciousness or death by displacing the oxygen in breathable air. Many toxic gases, even in very low concentrations breathed over a long time period can cause cancer or otherwise permanently damage the lungs. Toxic gas sensors insure that no personnel are injured or killed by toxic leak accidents. Use these sensors to check for H2S, SO2, CO, CO2, CL2, NO2, and other toxic gasses. Specific gas detector models include H2S gas detectors, sulfur dioxide gas detector, carbon monoxide gas detector, ammonia gas detector, chlorine gas detector, nitric oxide gas detector, and others.

The air we breathe is a mixture of many gases. Approximately 20.9% of the earth’s air is oxygen. Air that is “deficient” of oxygen is a threat to life, leading to unconsciousness and death. In industrial locations where nitrogen or other inert gases are in use, a gas leak could go undetected, and the resulting displacement of oxygen from the air would result in death. Use an oxygen detector to alert personnel of an oxygen deficiency in the air.
In areas where pure oxygen is in use, an oxygen leak is equally dangerous. As the percentage of oxygen in air increases above the normal 20.9%, the air is said to be “enriched”. Oxygen enrichment causes a fire to burn more readily than normal, causing many materials to burn with almost explosive force. Use an oxygen senor to alert personnel of extreme fire danger.
Installation and Calibration Accessories include junction boxes for mounting sensors on walls, ceilings or air ducts. Also accessories to protect sensors from water or dust, and test gas for verifying sensor performance.
Maintenance free electrochemical fuel cell for SST’s Model GT820 and GT821 Oxygen Sensors.
The Alarm Control Panel receives electrical signals from the various fire detectors and gas sensors located through out the protected area. The control panel displays the status of each connected detector or sensor, reporting alarm conditions and measured gas concentrations. The control panel also reports any detector/sensor device that is not working properly, so that maintenance personnel may be dispatched to repair the device.

For hazardous locations these include bells, horns, hooters, sirens, and strobe lights for installation in areas where gases or flammable vapors can accumulate. These devices are rated explosion proof or intrinsically save. For non-hazardous locations these include bells, horns, hooters, sirens, and strobe lights for installation in general purpose areas where only common combustible materials are present.

Upon detection of a fire and alerting of personnel, the fire must be extinguished. Today’s clean agents are formulated to not only produce the desired extinguishing characteristics, but also to minimize the long term effects that any of these agents have on the environment when released. Regardless of any automatic equipment installed, standards also require hand portable extinguishers for use by occupants of protected areas.
Upon detection of a fire and alerting of personnel, the fire must be extinguished. Water is the traditional extinguishing agent, but in many of today’s installation, water damage may be worse than the damage caused by the fire. In those cases, release of a gaseous extinguishing agent in the hazard area, which leaves little residue and cleanup, is more desirable. Today’s agents are formulated to not only produce the desired extinguishing characteristics, but also to minimize the long term effects that any of these agents have on the environment when released. These agents are referred to as “Clean Agents”, to distinguish them from Halon, which was used for years but later found to be causing global warming.
