Smoke detector

This X-Sense is designed for detecting smoke and providing an acoustic warning signal in case of smoke development. The product is used for fire detection in indoor spaces and is suitable for use in homes and office environments. The operates based on optical smoke detection and reacts to smoke particles in the air. The battery-powered version allows for installation without a fixed electrical connection. The features a built-in battery with a specified lifespan of ten years. An integrated test button and pause button enable checking functionality and temporarily silencing the alarm.

Explanation of detection types Optical smoke detection works by measuring smoke particles in the air using a light source and sensor. When smoke obstructs the light beam, the alarm is activated. This type of detection is used for smoke development, such as in smouldering fires. Ionization smoke detection works by measuring changes in an electric current between two electrodes. When smoke particles affect this current, the alarm is activated. This type of detection primarily responds to fast-developing fires with small smoke particles. Thermal detection measures temperature changes and activates the alarm when a fixed temperature is exceeded or when the temperature rises rapidly. This type of detection is used in environments where can cause unwanted alarms. Combination detection combines multiple detection methods, such as smoke and temperature detection, in one detector to signal various fire scenarios. Carbon monoxide detection measures the presence of carbon monoxide gas in the air using a chemical or electrochemical sensor. This type of detection is intended for gas detection and is not smoke detection. Explanation of standards EN 14604 is the European product standard for intended for fire detection in buildings. This standard describes requirements for smoke detection, alarm volume, reliability, electrical safety, and test methods. NBN EN 14604 is the Belgian adoption of the European standard EN 14604 and contains the same technical requirements, established within the Belgian standardization framework. CE indicates that the product complies with the applicable European directives regarding safety, health, and environmental protection. Ask a product question
