Fire Detection Solution with Integrated CO Sensors

Highly reliable fire detectors in the Bosch AVENAR detector 4000 Series now adds a new carbon monoxide sensor that increases its fire and smoke detection capabilities. Introducing the new FAP-425-DOTCO-R multi-sensor detector.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an extremely hazardous gas. The gas is highly flammable and can explode if exposed to heat sources. CO can leak untraced for hours from machinery, appliances like water boilers, and vehicles as it is invisible to the human eye, odourless and tasteless. Potential concentration of CO poses continual dangers to safety and building security. Thus, the FAP-425-DOTCO-R detector adds a new carbon monoxide sensor to increase its fire and smoke detection and alarming capabilities according to the upcoming EN54 standards.

Specific needs for diverse application areas

There are multiple scenarios with a higher risk of fire and combustion due to a strong presence of carbon monoxide within a space where workers or visitors may be on site. These areas therefore need to be monitored continuously for CO and possible sources of excessive heat and ignition.

Intelligent detection, superior protection: FAP-425-DOTCO-R

Bosch has developed a new member of the highly robust and reliable AVENAR detector 4000 Series fire detectors. The new FAP-425-DOTCO-R features integrated multi-sensors. As with the rest of the AVENAR detector 4000 Series, FAP-425-DOTCO-R includes combined optical and thermal sensors but also an additional specialized sensor for rapid detection of carbon monoxide. This means it adheres to the upcoming EN 54 standards now required for premises in healthcare, manufacturing industries and in parking lots which must be monitored for CO concentration.
