Euralarm: multi-sensor fire detectors and the reduction of false alarms
Euralarm has published a new White Paper on multi-sensor fire detectors and how these devices can help to reduce false alarms. Fire detection is a critical component of building safety systems in residential, commercial and industrial settings. Therefore, this document is intended for fire safety professionals, building managers and regulatory authorities.
Euralarm’s White Paper on multi-sensor fire detectors
The new White Paper by Euralarm is aimed at early identification and alerting of fire incidents to minimize damage and save lives. “Traditional fire detection systems, typically based on smoke, heat or flame detection, each have their strengths but also limitations – they highlight from Euralarm. – Smoke detectors can be triggered by non-fire-related particulates, heat detectors may respond too slowly and flame detectors are often limited to line-of-sight applications. These traditional detectors use independent signal processing: they analyze each signal or each feature of the signal independently, without integrating the information from various sources or criteria. This means that each signal characteristic (e.g., amplitude, frequency) is processed independently” they explain.
The innovation of multi-sensor fire detectors
Multi-sensor fire detectors are intended precisely to address the limitations of single-criteria detectors by combining multiple sensing modalities. This integrated approach improves detection accuracy, reduces false alarms and achieve a faster response to actual fire events.
The new Euralarm White Paper explores the development and use of multi-sensor fire detectors. These advanced sensors integrate multiple detection technologies to enhance reliability, accuracy and response times, thereby improving overall fire safety.
