Fire Alarm Detectors (1)



1.     Photoelectric Detectors
Photoelectric smoke detectors use light and how it is reflected to detect smoke. Normally light is projected into a smoke sensing chamber inside the detector assembly. The light hits a black background of the chamber and is absorbed. When enough smoke enters the chamber it reflects the light on to a sensor inside the chamber. This causes the sensor to indicate an alarm. Photoelectric detectors are suitable for most applications giving the fastest response to slow burning fires - the most common start to fire events. Use of photoelectric detectors is highly recommended to provide coverage for escape routes due to their superior ability to detect optically dense smoke that would easily obstruct the use of escape routes.
