Description of FA100

FA100 is an aspirating smoke detector equipped with two removable and independent sampling chambers.

The device is equipped with an aspirator, common to both detector modules, which draws the air from the rooms monitored through two distinct piping networks.

The product is supplied with only one detection module; a second one can be purchased separately.

Each of the detector modules can be configured independently in class A, B or C (see “Detection Classes”) and can support a maximum number of sampling holes equal to 8, 18 and 51 respectively.

The detector modules are based on a dual light technology that uses two distinct light sources (infrared and blue) capable of evaluating the dimensions of the aspirated particulate and of providing a prompt response in outbreaks of fire as well as a high rejection of false alarms caused by dust or mists.

Each of the detector modules is capable of measuring the flow rate of the aspirated air and of signalling a fault if this deviates from the value set when activating the system (clogged sampling holes or breaks in the sampling duct).

FA100 can be connected to Inim Electronics addressable fire control panels by connecting it directly to the loop (the power supply voltage must be supplied separately) thus transferring all the signals and controls to the control panel, or it can be connected to any conventional control panel thanks to its relay outputs and I/O terminals.

Functions

  • Connection to the loop of an addressable analogue switch of the Inim Electronics

  • Connection to a conventional control panel (via a fault relay, an alarm relay, a programmable input and suitable balancing resistors)

  • Levels of detection for warning and smoke alarm programmable and independent for each aspiration pipe
