Notifier reduces lifetime costs of fire systems

Notifier by Honeywell has launched its Opal range of fire detectors designed to cut the cost of ownership and improve the efficiency of its devices.

Manufactured in pure white, the new Notifier detectors incorporate a deeper chamber, together with multi-criteria variants designed to improve detection across multiple fire types and enhance resilience to dust particles, so reducing the risk of false alarms.

The new devices can communicate using a digital protocol.

This inherently more efficient system provides Notifier customers with the flexibility to incorporate more devices on the loop and power them more easily.

As part of the pre-launch development programme, the Opal detectors have been successfully installed and tested in all Notifier premises throughout Europe.

Opal detectors are fully backwards compatible and can co-exist on the same systems as existing Notifier devices.

In helping maximise the benefits of the new detectors, Notifier is providing full training for its Engineered Systems Distributor (ESD) network.

Supporting this, the new Notifier POL-100 hand-held intelligent analogue detection loop tester has been developed to enhance flexibility during both installation and commissioning and ongoing service and maintenance, by enabling remote fault-finding independent of the control panel.

The POL-100 can be used for existing and Opal detectors.

The new Opal detectors also incorporate automated loop mapping, which cuts installation time through improved fault finding.

Better device information reduces ongoing maintenance of fire alarm assets, by identifying the status and version of each detector.

In addition, system resilience is further enhanced with the adoption of optional isolators on each device.
