Smoke and Heat Detection for Non-Hazardous Areas

Detector Electronics Corporation (USA) has introduced its Addressable Smoke and Heat (ASH) Module. The ASH Module is an interface device that manages inputs/outputs between the Eagle Quantum Premier® (EQP) Safety System and devices in non-hazardous areas, such as living quarters and control rooms. Detector Electronics Corporation, otherwise known as Det-Tronics is a business of UTC Fire & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).

“The ASH Module seamlessly integrates non-hazardous and hazardous areas into a single fire and gas life-safety system,” says Mike Bragg, Product Manager at Det-Tronics.

The ASH Module is flexible enough to support multiple addressable devices such as smoke detectors, heat detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, manual call stations, beacons, sounders, and I/O modules. Powerful yet simple programming is provided allowing users to tailor the solution beyond the capabilities of conventional fire panels. In addition, the ASH Module is CE marked; hazardous rated by FM, CSA, ATEX, IECEx; and FM performance approved to NFPA 72-2010.
