ACCESS DENIED: Finding a Safe Way Out of Danger
Inmates will abuse any building component within reach. So how do you design a system to detect and protect while keeping it safe, too?
5600 Series Heat Detectors
The System Sensor 5600 Series of mechanical heat detectors come in a variety of configurations to meet your application needs.
5151 Conventional Heat Detector
A conventional, 2-wire device, the 5151 is a combination fixed and rate-of-rise thermal detector designed to provide open-area protection with 50-foot spacing capability as approved by UL 521.
Extreme Detection: Fire Edition
If you develop systems for extreme environments, such as a refrigeration plant or a chemical processing facility, this issue is for you.
If you don’t, this issue is still for you.
THE EXTREMES: Hot Strategies for Cold Conditions
Environments with high airflow or excessive temperatures, such as freezer or cold-storage warehouses, require robust and flexible fire protection solutions. These extreme environments present unique fire detection and suppression challenges that do not follow standard fire and life safety design. For example, while extremely cold, these warehouses can have such dry atmospheres that fire can spread faster than normal. As a result, each scenario needs to be evaluated to provide the necessary protection. Because there is no one-size-fits-all fire and life safety solution, familiarity with all technologies associated with fire detection, notification and suppression are important for designing a dependable and suitable system.
Advanced Multi-Criteria Fire/CO Detector
Meet both fire and carbon monoxide (CO) Code requirements with a single addressable device. The Advanced Multi-Criteria Fire/CO Detector (AMCF/CO) combines award-winning fire and CO protection using only 4 wires and 1 footprint for the most advanced, cost-effective, and attractive detection solution available.

Counterfeit Smoke Alarms
The Atlanta Fire Rescue Department has recently discovered that the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) stickers on the back of several photoelectric smoke alarms it has purchased are counterfeit. The more than 18,000 counterfeit smoke detectors were distributed through May 2011 by the fire department to lower income families as part of a fire safety program.
eBay Bids for the Best with New Data Center
