AirSense ModuLaser, Detector module
  • Modular Design :
    Separate centrally-controllable detector modules allow efficient piping and discrete zones with no overlap.
  • Zoned aspirating smoke detection :
    Individual detector modules provide detection for individual areas or zones, specific zone alarm information can be transmitted to the main fire alarm panel via a common APIC address card in the display module or through dedicated alarm relays within each detector module.
  • Simplified installation :
    Ingenious docking station design allows detectors to be easily connected together as a group. Sensitive electronics are easily removed to ensure they will not be damaged during first fix installation. Aspirating pipework and cable entries can easily be made into either the top or the bottom of the unit.
  • Intuitive user interface :
    Bright easy-to-see color TFT display and universal navigation and control buttons take the guesswork out of programming and diagnostics.
  • Easy pipe connection :
    The quick fit pipe adaptor system locks down securely, yet leaves plenty of room for easy pipe connection and removal.

General

ModuLaser is a scalable aspirating smoke detection solution that makes installation easier, maintenance quicker, and takes applications further than traditional air sampling detectors. Two basic module types comprise
the ModuLaser solution: a display module, and a detector module. Each detector module can accommodate up to 250 meters combined sampling pipe. Display modules and detector modules communicate by RS-485 interconnections.
Display modules are available in three configurations: Standard with TFT color display, status LED's and navigation buttons, Minimum with only status LED's, and Command which is similar to the Standard but with the added functionality to control various modules over SenseNET. The Minimum and Standard Display Modules can each support up to 8 detector modules, while the Command Display Module can support up to 127 modules across the SenseNET network.

Detector module

The Detector Module is a fully self-contained unit, which aspirate the sampled air from the protected area, analyze the air and based on ClassiFire determine if a pre-alarm or alarm should be raise, if smoke particles would be present in the sampled air. If an alarm condition or fault condition would occur, then the unit will activate the corresponding local relay output, subjected to the programming of the relays. Simultaneously the alarm or fault condition would also be reported to the Display Module to which the Detector Module is connected.
Due to the modular nature of the ModuLaser, maintenance (for example routine filter replacement) can be done on a module per module bases, rather than a complete system. This in turn reduces the risk of the area which is unprotected during the maintenance period, as only one sampling pipe (protected zone) would be affected at a time.

Perfect solution

Thanks to advanced features that make it virtually impervious to dust and dirt, ModuLaser is ideal for use in hostile environments that would disable other kinds of smoke detectors. Forward scattering optical detection adds early warning capability without the risk of nuisance alarms normally associated with high sensitivity smoke detection, while exclusive environmental compensation technology adds a high degree of reliability to an already solid detection solution.
