Technology Details
The WideBand IR™ Infrared technology uses high-speed solid-state Quantum sensors to detect all types of fires, hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon, in all weather conditions. If the detector's signal is blocked by ordinary window glass, the patented WideBand IR sensors will still alarm to the fire but at a reduced sensitivity and slower response time.
Dual microprocessors provide a high level of fail-safe operation combined with fast and reliable performance. The Master Microprocessor performs high-speed digital sampling and signal-processing calculations, while the slave microprocessor handles various sensor data, performs communications, self-diagnostics, and provides interface versatility, along with additional memory for storing Event Log and FirePic™ data.
The Fire Sentry FSX family of detectors feature patented* FirePic data storage and information retrieval. FirePic™ records pre-fire data, recoverable from the detector's non-volatile flash memory for post-fire analysis and cause postulation. Additionally, unique Real-Time Graphing (RTG™) allows viewing of the data the detector actually sees.
A combination of outputs makes the Fire Sentry FS24X a truly versatile detector for demanding industrial requirements. The Fire Sentry FS24X detector has a detection range greater than 200 feet (Very High Sensitivity setting) for a one square-foot Heptane reference fire and offers a cone of vision far greater in volumetric coverage than any other Multi-Spectrum IR Detector, meaning fewer detectors may be needed compared to other manufacturers' detectors.
