The Discovery range

Using well established sensing

technologies, the Discovery range

includes ionisation and optical smoke

detectors, plus a temperature

detector. Additionally, a multi-sensor

detector combining optical smoke and

temperature sensing has been

developed. A manual call point

incorporating Discovery technology is

also available.

Features

Multi-sensor detector

Five response modes for changing

environments

Drift compensation for constant

sensitivity

Non-volatile memory for user data

Alarm flag for fast alarm reporting

Compatible with Apollo XP95 Vega

fire control panel

Sensitivity selection

Discovery offers five sensitivity bands.

Detectors are factory-set to a mid-range sensitivity which can be altered

as appropriate. For example, a

detector in a clean room might be set

to a higher sensitivity than one in an

office. Or different sensitivities might

be selected for day and night use. This

system enhances detection reliability

whilst mitigating against false alarms.

The multi-sensor detector may be

operated as a smoke detector, a heat

detector or a combination of both.

Drift compensation

Discovery incorporates an algorithm to

ensure that the analogue count

reported to the panel is not affected

by extraneous factors such as

contamination which could lead to

drift. If the count moves from its

normal clean air value it is, within

permitted limits, compensated back to

reduce unwanted alarms.

Non-volatile memory

Discovery has a non-volatile memory

that may be accessed by the control

panel. This records unchanging

information, such as the month of

manufacture and information undercontrol of the panel such as the

sensitivity setting. Self changing data,

such as the degree of drift

Exciting and innovative, Discovery takes the advanced features of XP95 and

adds new dimensions of sophistication giving you total reassurance in

installations where adaptability to changing conditions and protection against

unwanted alarms are paramount.

Compatibility

To access the benefits of Discovery, the

Vega fire control equipment must be

used.

The mounting bases are identical to

those of XP95, featuring the patented

XPERT card addressing system that has

proved so simple, reliable and

effective.

Existing XP95 isolators and interfaces

can be used with all Discovery fire

detectors.

compensation, is also held in the

memory, but a significant amount of

memory is reserved for customers to

use freely. This part four bytes of

data may be used to record any data

required, eg, commissioning date, last

service date, site reference number,

project number or whatever is

important to the customer.
