Challenges

This applications is considered to be a dark place, full of people with a lot of noise. Overload or short-circuit of electrical or electronic equipment and electrical installations, structures or decorations made of flammable materials that are in close proximity to hot items such as spotlights, and careless handling of open flames (candles, flaming torches, pyrotechnics) are typical hazards. Earliest possible detection and timely evacuation of people are required.

Solution

ASA detectors with different parameter sets, depending on the time or event control, are an ideal solution for areas with high deceptive phenomena. Depending on the conditions, as a supplement, we recommend linear smoke detectors for high ceiling areas, and flame detectors, which are specially suited for environments where deceptive phenomena, e.g. sun or radiation have to be expected.

Challenges

Human behavioral actions, as well as the electrical and mechanical aspects can be presented as fire hazards. Earliest possible detection is required. Evacuation of people has the highest priority, followed by preventing fire from spreading. The elevator compares to a chimney, thus it is important that smoke and fire do not reach any other floor or level.

Solution

Smoke detectors ensure an early detection of smoke-generating flaming and smoldering fires with minimal deceptive phenomena. Alternatively, depending on conditions, aspirating smoke detectors or ASA detectors are able to detect even the smallest aerosol concentrations.

Challenges

Sensitive and irreplaceable objects must be provided with protection that is appropriate to their value. It automatically implies a high fire risk. These types of buildings are potentially high occupancy buildings, so employee and visitor safety is crucial. It requires a tailored fire protection concept. Earliest possible detection of the smallest aerosol concentrations and a quick response is also an essential requirement.

Solution

ASA detectors with super sensitive parameter set can detect even the smallest aerosol concentration. Depending on the conditions, we recommend linear smoke detectors, which are ideal for high ceiling areas. Alternatively, aspirating smoke detectors continuously draw air samples from the areas requiring protection and evaluate them for the presence of smoke

Challenges

Application with various combustible materials, such as, flammable liquids and chemicals, paper, books, clothing as well as the waste and litter products. Occupant safety has the highest priority. Thus, early and reliable detection is required. Spreading of the fire must be prevented.

Solution

Smoke detectors ensure an early detection of smoke-generating flaming and smoldering fires without or with minimal deceptive phenomena. Alternatively, our ASA detectors with various parameter sets, depending on the ceiling height, ensure reliable fire detection.

Challenges

A fire in an enclosed garage can very quickly create a dangerous situation for all people in that area. Due to the significant fire load of the parked cars, a fire which is not detected and dealt with quickly can develop into a fire that is very difficult to extinguish and may even threaten the stability of the building. Not only can deceptive phenomena such as exhaust emissions affect early and reliable fire detection, the harsh environmental conditions in garages can also affect the service life of ordinary fire detectors. In the event of a fire, alerting and evacuating all parties at risk in time has the highest priority.

Solution

ASA detectors, in this case with parameter set for CO monitoring for harsh environmental conditions is recommended. Alternatively, our aspirating smoke detectors with a high level of dust suppression is the ideal setting in harsh environments with deceptive phenomena, such as a parking garage.

Challenges

Fire protection in restaurants is a top priority due to the large concentration of people during peak hours. An overload or short circuit of an electrical appliance, careless handling of candles or rechauds, and flammable materials close to open flames or electrical hotplates are typical hazards. In a restaurant, there is no typical development of a fire – a fire can start with a smoldering phase or directly with an open flame.

Solution

ASA detectors with balanced or sensitive parameter set, depending on the ceiling height, ensure an early detection of all types of fire and robust behavior toward deceptive phenomena such as steam. Alternatively, our smoke detectors are the ideal solution for the early detection of smoke-generating, flaming and smoldering fires. Additionally, our voice sounder beacons are an effective means of increasing danger awareness by specifying the emergency verbally and sending additional optical signals.

Challenges

For retail areas, electrical wiring/outlets, lightening and potentially flammable products like chemicals, clothing, paper, are just some of the fire hazards. A fire protection system is needed that guarantees early, reliable fire detection and enables timely evacuation and extinguishing.

Solution

ASA detectors and smoke detectors, depending on the expected deceptive phenomena, are able to detect even the smallest aerosol concentrations and offer the ideal solution for retail area. Depending on the ceiling height, different parameter sets are suitable.

Challenges

Stairways play an important role as the primary escape routes in buildings, as elevators must not be used in case of fire. Overload or short circuit of electrical equipment are typical hazards, where easily flammable materials that should not be present in a stairway. In the event of a fire, alerting and evacuating all parties at risk in good time has the highest priority. A fire protection system is needed that guarantees rapid, reliable fire detection and activates both the alarm devices and the relevant fire control installations.

Solution

In the electrical enclosures and the installation ducts, smoke detectors with sensitive parameter set, depending on the ceiling height are ideal for early detection of smoke-generating, flaming and smoldering fires. Additionally, for stairways, our ASA detectors with sensitive behavior parameter set ensure an early detection of all types of fire and robust behavior toward deceptive phenomena.

Challenges

In terms of fire protection, bedrooms, like in a student accommodation can be considered a critical area with one of the main contributing factors being the behavior of the students themselves. It is a well-documented fact that the number of false alarms in student accommodation is extremely high. Main challenges are reduction of the fire-related incidents and eliminating false alarms.

Solution

ASA detectors with balanced or robust parameter set bahavior, depending on the ceiling height, ensure early and reliabe detection of all types of fire and a robust response to deceptive phenomena (steam, heat). All detectors should be mounted with voice sounder beacon bases, which allow for quick and orderly evacuation.

Challenges

Petrol-related work is a common cause of fires. In these areas a fire can start with a smoldering phase (e.g. short circuit) or directly with an open fire (e.g. leakage of flammable liquid such as oil). A high deceptive phenomena is to be expected. Detecting an unusual aerosol concentration is required.

Solution

ASA detectors, with either suppression or balanced parameter set, depending on the ceiling height, ensure early detection of all types of fire and a robust response to deceptive phenomena (heat, welding smoke). Depending on the conditions, in addition, we recommend flame detectors, which are especially suited for environments where deceptive phenomena are to be expected. A sounder beacon is the ideal choice in this application to ensure a quick response to a fire event.

Challenges

Due to the large volume and high ceiling, smoke detection can be very challenging. Smoke can reduce the visibility which could lead to a delayed or slower evacuation process. Primary objective is to ensure the safety of the occupants followed by the property it contains and continuity of operations.

Solution

ASA detectors and smoke detectors are able to detect even the smallest aerosol concentrations and offer the ideal solution for atrium halls. Depending on the conditions, we recommend linear smoke detectors for high ceiling areas, and flame detectors, which are specially suited for environments where deceptive phenomena, e.g. sun or radiation have to be expected. Furthermore, a voice alarm system provides clear and intelligible announcements about the danger and gives precise instructions that are immediately understood.

Challenges

Event halls are used for many diverse functions and since fire risks and environmental conditions at event venues can vary considerably, the fire protection system must be able to adapt easily to changing requirements. Ensuring early and reliable fire detection in an environment with extreme deceptive phenomena is required. Safe and timely evacuation needs to be ensured. Visitors must be informed about the developing situation.

Solution

ASA detectors are able to detect aerosols and are ideal for event halls. If only minimal exposure to deceptive phenomena is expected in the hall, an aspirating smoke detector could be installed in this area. Advantages of this solution are increased sensitivity and lower maintenance efforts. Furthermore, a public address and voice alarm system should be installed that allows individual loudspeaker groups to be addressed separately.

Challegnes

The building will contain a large number of people who are celebrating excitedly. The danger of fire will be significantly increased by the additional number and the threat posed by the various ignition sources. Fog machines with laser light shows and pyrotechnic effects, generate deceptive phenomena which make fire detection at an early stage considerably more difficult. The loud music will make it more difficult for people to hear the fire alarm. Ensuring an orderly evacuation of large numbers of people can be a major challenge.

Solution

ASA detectors, with either medium sensitivity (standard behavior) or very robust behavior during events with deceptive phenomena (no alarm activation without a temperature rise), ensure early and reliable detection of aerosol concentration. Depending on the conditions, in addition, we recommend flame detectors, with different parameter sets based on the ceiling height, which are specially suited for environments where deceptive phenomena have to be expected. Furthermore, our aspirating smoke detectors ensure reliable fire detection in demanding application areas, where earliest possible fire detection is essential and business continuity is paramount.

Challenges

Common fire hazards are lighting (candles, gas lamps, or electric stage lights), igniting combustible materials on or near the stage, and combustible interior finish. Potential heat development must be taken into consideration. Smoke can reduce the visibility which could lead to a delayed or slower evacuation process. Primary objective is to ensure the safety of the occupants followed by the asset safety and continuity of operations.

Solution

Our smoke detectors are ideal for the detection of smoke-generating flaming and smoldering fires. Additionally, our aspirating smoke detector ensures reliable fire detection in demanding application areas, where earliest possible fire detection is essential and business continuity is paramount. Alternatively, our ASA detectors offer signal analysis, for guaranteed fault-free detection under all circumstances.
