High-Sensitivity Smoke

Detection Products

Exceptional aspirated smoke detection system designed to

protect small, localized; medium; or large, spacious applications
The AIR-Intelligence ASD-160H, ASD-320 and ASD-640 detectors have unmatched
sensitivity potential, providing the very earliest warning of incipient fire with minimal nuisance
alarms for applications ranging from computer cabinets and museums to aircraft hangars and
airport terminals.

Optimal Performance and Reliability

AIR-Intelligence detectors embody many unique features to maximize performance and
increase reliability compared to other aspirated smoke detection systems. All AIR-Intelligence
detectors utilize ClassiFire, a patented Perceptive Artificial Intelligence system which
ensures that they operate at optimum sensitivity for the protected environment. As an
example, the detectors adjust to become highly sensitive in a computer room or reduce
sensitivity for an application such as a flour mill.
ClassiFire automatically configures the detector during initial setup and in operation,
automatically adjusting the sensitivity to optimum levels for changes in the protected
environment. The Laser Dust Discrimination (LDD) and Elimination System makes it suitable for
a wide range of environments, including those that are extremely dusty or dirty.
All AIR-Intelligence detectors provide four alarm levels and have sensitivity ranges extending
from hypersensitive to low sensitivity (0.00046 to 7.62% obscuration/ft. or 0.0015 25%
obscuration/m). The rugged steel enclosure mounts to a docking station which permits the
connection of sampling pipes and cables without the detector in place to prevent damage to
during the installation process. Recommended maximum sampling pipe length for the ASD160H is 164 feet (50 m) with 10 sampling points, 328 feet (100 m) with 50 sampling points for
the ASD-320 and 650 feet (198 m) with 100 sampling points for the ASD-640.
The on-board Fault and Fire relays can be augmented with an optional Input Relay Card
which provides four levels of alarm, fault and three programmable inputs for interface with fire
alarm panels and BMS systems. Addressable Protocol Interface Cards (APIC) are available for
various manufacturers fire panels.

High-Sensitivity Smoke
Detection Products
AIR-Intelligence aspirated smoke detectors use ClassiFire,
a patented system of Perceptive Artificial Intelligence to
continually adjust the detector sensitivity to maintain a
consistent level of performance.
Traditionally, aspirated detectors are adjusted to a
sensitivity that is a set level above the highest peak in the
normal environmental particulate density. As such, it is very
easy to set system sensitivity levels too high and suffer from
an unacceptable rate of nuisance alarms. In addition, this
method does not necessarily generate a particularly early
warning.
As the normal environment changes, the system is unable
to adapt and needs more (or less) particulate to generate
an alarm. With this method, the detector sensitivity is fixed
but the amount of particulate needed to generate an alarm
is not constant.
ClassiFire dynamically adjusts the detector sensitivity to match changes in the normal
environmental particulate density, thus the amount of particulate needed to generate an
alarm remains constant, regardless of ambient conditions.

The AIR-Intelligence Command Module provides a single
location display, control and interfacing option for systems
of up to 127 detectors. The Command Module allows global
programming of all detector functions simultaneously. The
integral bargraph automatically displays the status of the
detector with the highest alarm level to identify potential
problem areas.

Contact Monitors enable detectors from alternative

manufacturers to be monitored where necessary ensuring
optimum flexibility for the end user. The PIN protected
programmer enables global entry of all detector settings to
significantly reduce commissioning time.

The AIR-Intelligence Remote Display Unit (RDU) will mimic the

display of an AIR-Intelligence detector connected to it via the RS-485
SenseNET bus. A bank of switches selects the detector display to be
repeated.
The unit consists of a 3U high metal front panel plate with a graphics
overlay and a main PCB which contains terminals for power supply
and RS-485 communications It can be rack mounted or housed in a
metal wall mount enclosure as shown.
