Twinflex ASD Multi-Function Detector With Optional Sounder And Strobe

Summary

Fike Safety Technology has introduced a new detector for its popular TWINFLEXpro intelligent 2-wire fire alarm system. The Multipoint ASD detector has all of the features and benefits of the existing detector, including 7 modes of detection and optional built-in sounder, as well new features.

To ensure the detection capabilities of the detectors are never compromised they self-calibrate every 6 hours. They also continuously monitor for dust contamination until, depending on the environment, it reaches a point where the chamber becomes saturated. Before this can develop into a false alarm situation, the panel will indicate that the device in question requires attention.

Versions

The new Multipoint ASD detector range is available to order now with the following versions.

• 204-0003 – Twinflex Multipoint ASD Detector
• 204-0001 – Twinflex Multipoint ASD Detector Sounder
• 204-0012 – Twinflex Multipoint ASD Detector Sounder & Strobe

Modes Of Detection

• Smoke 1 – Used where ionisation detectors are normally fitted, especially when there are high ceilings or a risk of free burning fires (chemical stores etc.) or fires that need to be detected extremely quickly.
• Smoke 2 – Used where optical detectors are normally fitted, when there is a risk of a smouldering fire and for escape routes.
• Smoke 3 – Designed for use in areas that are prone to nuisance alarms. The reduced sensitivity linked with a time delay feature, means that a higher concentration of smoke needs to be present for a constant time period, before a fire decision is made. For example, this setting is ideal for hotel bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms. The installer or service engineer can change the setting from smoke 2 to smoke 3 if nuisance alarms are a problem whilst still offering optimum protection of a smoke detection setting.
• Heat 1 (Rate of Rise) – Used where a standard rate of rise detector would normally be used.
• Heat 2 (Standard Fixed Temperature – 58ºC approx.) – Used where a standard fixed temperature heat detector would normally be fitted, suitable for kitchens etc.
• Heat 3 (High Fixed Temperature – 90ºC approx.) – Used where a high fixed temperature heat detector would normally be fitted. Suitable for commercial kitchens, boiler rooms etc.
