AIR. Intelligence ASPIRATED SMOKE DETECTION De ee eC Le a AIR. Intelligence ASPIRATED AIR SAMPLING TECHNOLOGY Aspirated Air Sampling is a method of Smoke Detection where the air from the protected area is actively drawn through a network of sampling pipes, ‘passed through a central detection unit and sampled {or prosonoe of smoke. Based on a patented onward scatter system, the unt directs @ powerful semiconalictor laser through an aperture In & specially designed reflector. Any combustion products present in the moving air sample scatter light on the reflector from where itis focused on @ single photo-receiver. While perfectly clean air produces a very small ‘amount of scatter, as the volume of particles below a specific size increases, the amount of ight scatter increases. Measuring the amount of scatter gives a measure ofthe volume of impurity in the alr— which in itsof is directly related to the size ofthe fre. Relative to other methods, forward scatter laser technology has the advantage of significantly earler detection. Other advantages include inherent immunity to dust dirt build-up, high signal to noise level and resistance fo problems caused by vibrator and high humidity. The signal from the detection _Aiinatacon soa processed by @ unique ClassiFire-30 Perceptive Arifcialinteligence system which continually adjusts the detector sensivty to ‘maintain a consistent level of performance. The dotecio's patented waste-gale’ system samples a fraction of the air while bypassing the rest thereby ‘maximizing service life and permiting operation in Since AIR-Inteligence detactors can have as many ‘8s 100 sampling ports on a single pipe network instalation and Ife cycle costs are often Considerably lower than other detection technologies.
