Why are smoke detectors crucial in the alarm system?

Smoke detectors are the foundation of fire protection. They detect the presence of smoke at the early stage of the fire, allowing a rapid reaction — warning the residents, launching the siren or linking to another alarm system (SSWiN). A well-chosen smoke detector can save lives and reduce material losses.

Types of smoke detector available in the offer

• Optical detectors (photoelectric): They detect visible smoke and are very effective in detecting fires in the initial phase.
• Thermal detectors: They react to temperature increases — useful where smoke can occur later (e.g. garages, boiler rooms).
• Multisensor detectors (dyme + heat): They combine smoke detection and temperature for even better reliability of the alarm. Example: Satellite ASD-200. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
• Wireless smoke detectors: They work in radio systems (e.g.ABAX / ABAX 2) — easy installation without cables. Example: Satellite ASD–250. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Autonomous smoke detectors: They do not need to be connected to the system — they work on batteries themselves. Example: Satellite SDA–250. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

What should we pay attention to when choosing a smoke detector?

• Standards and certificates: Make sure the detector meets EN 14604 standard.
• Detection type: Do you need only smoke or also temperature detection (thermal sensor)?
• Compatibility with the alarm system: If you have an emergency control panel, select a detector compatible with your system (radio, wired).
• Power supply: The battery (CR123A) or cable power supply — affects the ease of installation and maintenance. Example: ASD-200 has a CR123A battery. {index=3}
• Maintenance: Sensors should have the function of testing and signaling smoke chamber contamination. Example: Hexamesh filter in ASD–250. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• Security against sabotage: The tamper function (lock opening detection) increases the device's safety. {index=5}

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Does the smoke detector always have to be connected to the emergency room?

No – many detectors operate autonomously (sound alarm), but integration with the control panel allows for faster response and notification.

How often do you test and preserve a smoke detector?

It is recommended to test the detector at least once a month and to regularly clean the smoke chamber, especially if it has a filter (e.g. Hexamesh). :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}

How to choose between an optical and thermal detector?

If the alarm is to operate in the living rooms, the optical smoke detector will work great. In more extreme conditions or where smoke occurs later (coilers, garages), it is worth considering a thermal or multisensor detector.
