Beam, Flame and Special Detectors in Bhopal

Beam, flame and special detectors cover places where ordinary ceiling smoke and heat detectors do not work well: large open spaces and high ceilings, open flaming fire risks, hazardous areas, ventilation ducts, business-critical rooms that need very early warning, and gas or battery off-gas risks. FPS supplies beam, aspirating, flame, duct, linear heat, video and gas detectors from Honeywell, Notifier, Morley by Honeywell, System Sensor, Apollo, Ceasefire, Agni, Ravel, Bosch and Siemens in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.

Apollo

Apollo Duct Detector Housing (XPERT 7)

53546-022APODuct detectorHVAC

A housing that holds an XP95 or Discovery detector to check the air moving through heating and ventilation (HVAC) ducts in commercial and industrial buildings. It gives early warning of smoke in the duct and helps stop smoke being circulated from a fire area to unaffected areas.

How to choose

Beam detectors protect large open spaces with high ceilings by sending an infrared beam across the area and raising an alarm when smoke weakens it. A reflective beam has the transmitter and receiver in one head aimed at a reflector, so only one end is wired, while an end to end (dual ended) beam, such as the Honeywell Xtralis OSID-DE, has units at both ends. Match the range to the room: Agni, Apollo reflective and Bosch Fireray5000-EN beams cover 8 to 100 m, the System Sensor 6500RE and Morley by Honeywell MI-LPB2-S3I 10 to 100 m, Notifier, Morley by Honeywell and System Sensor imaging or reflected beams 5 to 100 m, and the Apollo and Bosch end to end beams, Bosch FRAY-ONE-EN and Ravel EazyBeam up to 120 m. Addressable beams sit on the panel loop, conventional ones use fire and fault relays or a conventional circuit, and auto-aligning or remote test models, such as the System Sensor 6500SE, make upkeep at height easier.

For very early warning in data centres, electrical rooms and other business-critical areas, aspirating smoke detectors draw air continuously through a pipe network to a sensitive detector. Size them by area and pipe layout: the Siemens Cerberus PRO range runs from the FDA221 for up to 500 m² to the two chamber FDA262 for up to 6700 m², the Morley by Honeywell FAAST FLEX covers up to 1600 m2 with one channel or 2000 m2 with two, the Honeywell VESDA VLF-500 suits areas of less than 500 m2, and Bosch offers one or two pipe models in addressable (FAS-420) and conventional (FCS-320) versions, some with room identification across up to five zones. Notifier VESDA-E VEP, VES and VEU detectors have a built-in SLC module for direct connection to Notifier panels.

Flame detectors watch for the radiation of open flames, in places such as aircraft hangars, generator rooms and paint works. IR3 and triple IR models read several infrared wavelengths to tell flames from other radiation and keep working through films of oil, dust, water and ice, while UV and UV/IR2 models also react to steady flames with no flicker. Several meet EN 54-10 Class 1: the Apollo conventional IR3 detects a 0.1 m2 fire at 25 m and the Bosch IR3 a 0.33 m² flame at 25 m. For explosive atmospheres, choose a model certified for the zone: flameproof Ex d IR3 detectors from Apollo and Bosch, the Bosch FMX5000 IR Ex for zones 1, 2, 20, 21 and 22, the Siemens FDF242-EX for zones 0, 1 and 2, and Ex smoke detectors such as the Bosch OOH740-A9-Ex and Siemens FDOOT241-A9-Ex.

Other detectors solve specific problems. Duct detectors sample the air in ventilation ducts so smoke is not carried round the building: check the air speed rating, such as 1 m/s to 20 m/s for the Bosch FAD-420-HS-EN, 0.5 to 20.3 m/sec for the System Sensor DNRE and 100 to 4,000 ft/min for the Notifier DNR, and choose a System Sensor DST sampling tube to suit the duct width. Linear heat detection cable from System Sensor and Bosch protects long runs, cramped spaces and extreme environments; the System Sensor analogue cable is resettable with a 200 metre zone and the digital cable is non-resettable with a 3000 metre zone. Video fire detection from Bosch AVIOTEC and Siemens FireCatcher spots smoke and flames in camera images. Ceasefire and Ravel gas detectors warn of LPG or natural gas leaks, System Sensor and Ravel offer carbon monoxide detectors, and the Honeywell Li-ion Tamer system detects off-gas from lithium-ion battery racks early in a battery failure.

Frequently asked questions

When is a beam detector used instead of point smoke detectors?
Beam detectors suit large open spaces such as warehouses and atriums with high ceilings, where point detectors would be hard to reach, since one beam covers a long path. Ranges in this list run from 5 to 120 m depending on the model, and several are set up and tested from a low level controller.
What is an aspirating smoke detector?
It draws air continuously from the protected area through sampling pipes or tubes to a very sensitive detector, giving very early warning in business-critical rooms. FPS supplies aspirating detectors from Bosch, Honeywell Xtralis VESDA, Morley by Honeywell FAAST FLEX, Notifier VESDA-E and Siemens Cerberus PRO.
What is the difference between IR3, UV and UV/IR2 flame detectors?
IR3 and other multi-wavelength infrared detectors read several infrared bands to separate flames from other radiation and can see through films of oil, dust, water and ice. UV detectors also respond to steady flames with no flicker, and UV/IR2 combines both methods to keep false alarms from lightning, arc welding and flickering sunlight to a minimum.
Which detectors are made for hazardous areas?
Apollo and Bosch offer flameproof Ex d IR3 flame detectors, Bosch also has intrinsically safe and increased safety FMX5000 flame detectors, and Siemens has the FDF242-EX for zones 0, 1 and 2. For smoke in Ex areas there are the Bosch OOH740-A9-Ex and the Siemens OOH740-A9-EX and FDOOT241-A9-Ex multi-sensor detectors.
What does a duct smoke detector do?
It samples the air moving through a heating or ventilation duct, giving early warning of smoke and helping stop smoke being carried from the fire area to unaffected areas. Notifier, System Sensor, Apollo, Ravel and Bosch offer duct detectors or housings, rated for different air speeds and duct sizes.
Does FPS install these detectors, and how do I get a price?
FPS supplies, installs and maintains these detectors in Bhopal and across MP, as authorised distributor of Apollo and Ceasefire and as dealer for Honeywell, Notifier, Morley by Honeywell, System Sensor, Agni, Ravel, Bosch and Siemens.
