Fireboy-Xintex OMSD-01-DB-R Optical Smoke Detector with Base for Early Fire Detection

Optical Smoke Detector with Base

Optical smoke detectors have consistently been recognized as suitable detectors for general use. They are regarded as particularly suitable for smoldering fires and escape routes. This smoke detector is also designed to significantly reduce the incidence of false alarms through over-sensitivity to transient phenomena.

Features:

• Recommended for use as general-purpose smoke detectors for early warning of fires in most areas
• Works well in black as well as in white smoke
• Compensation for slow changes in sensitivity
• Extra confirmation of smoke before an alarm signal is given

Specifications:

• Sampling Frequency: Once every four seconds
• Operating Voltage: 8.5 V dc to 33 V dc
• Supply Wiring: Two wire supply, polarity sensitive
• Power-up Time: < 20 seconds
• Minimum Detector Active Voltage: 6 V
• Minimum Holding Current: 8 mA
• Minimum Voltage to Light Alarm LED: 5 V
• Alarm Reset Time: One second
• Alarm Indicator: Integral indicator with 360 visibility
• Operating Storage Temperature: -40C to +70C
• Humidity (no condensation or icing): 0% to 98% RH

Operation:

• Optical Smoke Detectors work on the well-established light scatter principle
• The remarkable optical design of this Smoke Detector enables it to respond to a wide spectrum of fires
• The sensing chamber contains an optical sensor that measures back-scattered light as well as the more usual forward-scattered light
• The detector is calibrated so that it is highly reliable in detecting fires but is much less likely to generate false alarms
• The stability of the detector-high reliability, low false alarm rate is further increased by the use of algorithms to decide when the detector should change to the alarm state
• Removes the likelihood of a detector producing an alarm as a result of smoke from smoking materials or another non-fire source

The Fireboy-Xintex OMSD-01-DB-R optical smoke detector is designed to provide reliable early warning of fires in a variety of environments, making it suitable for general-purpose fire detection applications. Utilizing the well-established light scatter principle, this detector effectively identifies both smoldering and active fires by measuring back-scattered and forward-scattered light within its sensing chamber. Its advanced optical design ensures high sensitivity to a wide range of fire types while significantly reducing false alarms caused by transient phenomena or non-fire smoke sources. The detector is calibrated for high reliability, incorporating algorithms that determine optimal timing for alarm activation, thus enhancing safety without unnecessary interruptions. It is compatible with standard two-wire supply wiring, requiring an operating voltage between 8.5 V and 33 V DC, and features a quick power-up time of less than 20 seconds. The integral alarm indicator provides 360-degree visibility, ensuring status detection from any angle. Its durable construction allows operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C with humidity levels up to 98% RH, provided there is no condensation or icing. This smoke detector is ideal for use in various settings, including escape routes, commercial spaces, and residential areas, offering peace of mind through early fire detection and minimized false alarms. Its compact dimensions and simple installation make it a practical choice for expanding or upgrading existing fire safety systems.
