Vesda Eco and ICAM Eco very early smoke detectors

Vesda and ICAM very early smoke detectors have been expanded to include aspirating smoke detection (ASD) plus gas detection and environmental monitoring.

The detectors use new or existing Vesda or ICAM pipe networks to reliably detect smoke and up to nine hazardous/combustible gases, to ensure air quality in occupied areas.

They also integrate with other building management systems for real-time situational awareness and intelligent emergency response, including activation of demand-controlled ventilation.

Industries including data/telecom, manufacturing and transportation can use Vesda Eco for very early warning fire detection, protection against hazardous gas leaks, air-quality monitoring to ensure safe working environments, and help to reduce energy consumption and costs.

With the detectors installed on Vesda or ICAM pipe networks, air can be conditioned or filtered to remove moisture, dirt and other particulates that can cause traditional gas-detection systems to false alarm or become contaminated.

Each detector can house up to two gas sensors, while additional detectors can be added to monitor more gases if required. In its initial release, the solution can be configured to detect ammonia, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, methane, nitrogen dioxide, oxygen, propane and sulfur dioxide.

Vesda/ICAM Eco provides point, zone or total-area coverage to suit different applications such as battery-charging rooms, underground utility tunnels, boiler rooms, manufacturing facilities, parking garages and transportation centres. The systems integrate with fire alarm control panels, programmable logic PLCs, HVAC systems and building management systems to provide real-time situational awareness for intelligent emergency response. No construction or electrical conduit is required.
