Honeywell Life Safety, a
business unit of
Honeywell India,
recently introduced the S300
range of smoke detector in the
Indian market. This latest
development from System
Sensor India enhances the
functionality of the
conventional detector,
incorporating many of the
advanced features previously
only provided in an analogue
addressable unit.
The Series 300 acts conventionally
and thinks intelligently, a Honeywell
release noted. With the introduction
of the Series 300, there is a much
better choice between conventional
and analogue addressable systems in
the small to mid-size installation,
enabling many of the features
of a full analogue addressable
system to be provided in a
lower cost conventional
system.
The new features in
S300 have been combined
to increase the ability
of the fire detection
system to give greater
protection to a building
and its occupants by
reacting more swiftly to
an incipient fire without
false and nuisance
alarms also rising, the
release further noted.
The choice of fire system
technology is relatively
straightforward at
the two extremes;
conventional systems are normally
more than adequate in small
installations, while analogue
addressable systems are the norm in
large premises. The Series 300 is the
first conventional detector from a
major detector manufacturer to
incorporate intelligence in the head, a
development that is likely to redefine
the conventional detector landscape.
The on board intelligence provides
users and installers with features and
capabilities previously only found in
more complex analogue addressable
detectors. As far as the panel is
concerned, the detector is perfectly
standard; no special interface is
required, the Series 300 is fully
compatible with most popular control
panels from the major manufacturers,
the statement added.
