Orbis IS Multisensor Smoke Detector

Product Literature

  • Photoelectric Smoke Detector with Heat Sensing Element
  • Intrinsically Safe
  • Conventional Type
  • Marine Approved
  • For Hazardous Applications

Features and Benefits

  • Intrinsically-safe multisensor smoke detector
  • Suitable for areas where the fire risk is likely to include heat at an early stage in the development of the fire
  • A thermally enhanced smoke detector and as suc will not give an alarm from heat alone
  • Responsive to fast burning flames
  • Available as standard or with flashing LED

Product Summary

The intrinsically safe multisensor smoke detector is a thermally enhanced smoke detector and as such will not give an alarm from heat alone.  Its sensitivity is influenced by a heat sensing element which makes the smoke detector more responsive to fast-burning, flaming fires.

Operating Principles

Photoelectric detection of light scattered by smoke particles over a wide range of angles.  The optical arrangement comprises an infra-red emitter with a prism and photo-diode at 90° to the light beam with a wide field of view.  The detector’s microprocessor uses algorithms to process the sensor readings.  The heat sensing element increases the sensitivity of the detector as the temperature rises.

Orbis IS Multisensor Smoke Detector

The multisensor smoke detector is a thermally enhanced smoke detector and as such will not give an alarm from heat alone.  It is a development of the Orbis IS optical detector and goes further in its capabilities of fire detection.

How does the Orbis IS Multisensor Detector work?

The optical sensor is identical to the one in the Orbis IS optical detector.  Its sensitivity is, however, influenced by a heat sensing element which makes the detector more responsive to fast-burning, flaming fires.

It shoud be noted that the detector is a smoke detector.   Although the Orbis IS multisensor relies on both smoke and heat sensors it is not possible to switch from smoke detection to heat detection.
