Aspirating Smoke Detection
Aspirating smoke detectors (ASD) offer many advantages over passive smoke detectors. They continually draw air through their sensors, meaning they don't depend on the airflow in the room. Aspirating smoke detectors are able to detect smoke before it's even visible, so they are a great option for when it's imperative that you have very early smoke detection for any application. General uses would cover Comms Rooms, Clean Rooms, Correctional Facilities, and areas containing goods easily damaged by Fire and Smoke.
Despite their high sensitivity, ASDs can be used in dusty or dirty environments as long as correct design, installation, selection of the most suitable detector, and recommended maintenance processes are followed. Here's an example of a leading industry designed detector; the Xtralis VLI800, which is specifically for harsh environments such as mining, waste treatment, recycling and dusty production areas, to name but a few.
We carry a wide range of aspirating detectors, ancillaries, and spares, each of which we've chosen for quality and reliability. We stock power supplies, ASD detectors, programmers, display units, and specialist units, such as the portable Cirrus Pro Locator - the first handheld unit available. In order to keep your aspirating smoke detection working and fully maintained, we provide air filters, pipe-work, replacement detector components; or look elsewhere on our site for alarm testing equipment.
A new test solution for hard to access ASD Sample Points is the Scorpion, this solution enables fast and efficient testing of ASD Systems - regardless of location. Scorpion is suitable for a wide range of applications and has quickly proved a useful addition to fire maintenance companies' range of test & maintenance solutions. Scorpion provides a technical solution for testing aspirating smoke detection (ASD) systems - which by their nature are also hard-to-access and typically have had no standard method of testing.
- Enables 100% compliant testing for smoke detectors
- Provides consistent testing for ASD
- Significant time savings
- Huge cost reduction
- Eliminates down-time (allows business continuity)
If you're unsure which ASD detector is right for you, just give us a call on +44(0)1254 207532 and we'll talk you through finding and specifying which unit is right for your needs. As with all our products, we price-match all genuine quotes, so you're assured of both great service and great prices.
