WHAT IS LASER?
A laser differs from other sources of light from a point that it emits light
coherently
HOW IT WORKS?
Laser based detectors works on the light-scattering principle, but with greater
sensitivity.
This ultra-sensitivity is due to the nature of the laser itself, which is literally
an amplified light.
Using an laser diode, the laser beam is transmitted through the chamber to a
light trap which eliminates any reflection.
The integral lens focuses the light beam to a very small volume near the
receiving photo sensor(not on photo sensor but on light trap)
The photo sensor is activated by a scattering of smoke particles in this smallvolume light beam.
A special mirror reflects and concentrates most of the scattered light into the
photo sensor.
PERFORMANCE
Ionization detectors detect fast-flaming fires well but are not so quick
with slow-smoldering fires.
Dust rejection
Higher accuracy
DUST REJECTION
Over time this dust increases the amount of reflected light in the
chamber making the detector more prone to false alarms.
EXTENDED APPLICATIONS
The range for detection can be varied for a wide range from .06%/meter
to 6.41%/meter. Thus this detector setting can be varied according to
various applications.
