Advanced Detection

Fire Alarm Control Systems, Inc. has the resources to provide many types of specialized detection technologies. This allows FACS the ability to provide a solution for almost any situation.

Aspiration (Air Sampling) Sensing – If your detection needs require high sensitivity smoke detection, the use of aspirating detectors may be the choice. The single detector consists of a laser detector and a piping network to transport the air samples to the detection chamber. There it is processed and if warranted by the site specific parameters, signals will be generated and the appropriate actions can be taken. These type detectors are typically 1000 times more sensitive than the standard open area smoke sensor.

Typical applications include:

  • Computer Data Centers
  • Flight Simulator buildings,
  • Clean Rooms
  • any area that early detection and response is Mission Critical
 

Beam Detection – Beam detectors provide another means to protect large areas. They can be mounted in atriums, mechanical rooms, storage facilities or any space where spot type smoke detection would be impractical due to an accessibility issue. Since the transmitter and receiver mount on opposite walls, accessibility is not a concern in most applications.

 

Video Smoke Detection – This technology has erupted recently to provide a means of visually detecting the presence of fire and smoke at its source, independent of airflow while using standard CCTV cameras. Areas of detection can be tailored to the specific hazards and challenging environments to ensure the best detection solutions.

Typical uses include:

  • Aircraft hangers
  • Tunnels
  • Processing Plants
  • Open, Unprotected Areas
  • Buildings with Atria andHigh Ceilings
  • Historic Structures
 

Flame Detection – Multi-spectrum detectors designed to detect all types of flaming fires in industrial environmental conditions.

Applications include:

  • Crude Oil & Gasoline Storage Tank Farms
  • Oil & Gas Pipeline and Pump Stations
  • Aircraft Hangers
  • Power Plants
 

Toxic and Combustible Gas Sensors – Designed to monitor and detect the slightest toxic or combustible gas before they reach critical levels. The detectors can be stand alone for one area or networked for larger areas and facilities.

Gases detected include:

  • Carbon monoxide
  • Hydrogen
  • Hydrogen sulfate
  • Oxygen
  • Methane
  • Propane
