Aspirating smoke detectors are used for early detection of smoke-generating fires in rooms and equipment. They are especially suited to applications in which point detectors are pushed to their limits, cannot be used or can only be used with restrictions.
The aspirating smoke detector continually takes air from the monitored room using a connected pipe system with defined aspirating holes. The air is supplied to the detection chamber and is analyzed for smoke particles using the detector installed there. The sensitivity of the detector can be adjusted.
