7HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL 7 Advantages of Electro-Optical Fire Detectors: s Fast - detects Electromagnetic Radiant Energy from the fire (Moves at the Speed of Light 300,000 km/sec) s Fast - detects fire in the early stages s Area Coverage, not a point detector. Does not have to be located directly at the fire event Electro-Optical Fire Detectors

12HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL 12 Conventional IR3 Detectors Competitions: Narrow Band 4.3 micron Pyroelectric IR sensors, combined with 2 guard bands (3.8 & 5.1) Disadvantages: Respond to clean-burning hydrocarbon fires only Totally blinded by water on the lens, fog, rain, smoke Max. operating temperatures: 75ºC Respond only to hot, carbon-based fires Respond best to change in incident radiant energy Respond best to mechanically shuttered fires Do not respond to slow growing fires Advantage: Easy to design and manufacture
13
13HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL 13 FS24X WideBand IR3 Detector FSX Technology: WideBand IR, WideBand 4.3 micron & Quantum sensors Advantages: Respond to hydrocarbon & non-hydrocarbon fires Not blinded by water on the lens, fog, rain, smoke Higher operating temperatures: 85ºC (standard) & 110ºC (extended) Quantum sensors respond to black body radiation and growing fires Can detect pure and hot flames’ sooty and dirty fires as well as cooler carbon dioxide fires (Isopropyl alcohol) Disadvantage: Extremely difficult to design
