Telefire's TPH-442 detector is a microprocessor-controlled multisensor detector that combines photoelectric and heat sensors for enhanced fire detection capabilities. It offers all the capabilities of analog addressable detectors in a conventional detector.
The detector consists of a photoelectric sensing mechanism that contains a vented chamber (labyrinth), an infrared transmitter and a receiver that detects light scattered from the smoke particles in the chamber, and a thermal sensor that measures the ambient temperature. The detector uses a smart algorithm to analyze the physical parameters (smoke and heat), evaluate their values and trends, and dynamically modify its sensitivity. This process reduces occurrences of false alarms without reducing sensitivity to real fire. The TPH-442 detector offers the following advantages:
• The TPH-442’s microprocessor uses advanced algorithms to analyze three physical parameters in order to better differentiate between a fire and other physical events that may produce smoke or rising heat.
• The TPH-442 detector excels in sensing smoldering smoke and differentiating between fires and false alarms due to other events that produce heat or smoke, such as cooking.
• The TPH-442's microprocessor provides advantages usually available only in more costly analog systems.
