There are many applications where remote access and control of an aspirating detector can be beneficial. These could include, one or more detectors located in difficult access areas, or maybe where the detector information is required at a central control point within the building. 

Additionally, for some aspirating detector installations, where many detectors are installed within a common warehouse building for example, it may not be commercially viable or necessary, to have a full detector display on every detector. For these and many other reasons the Aspirating Detector Remote Display Programmer (ADRDP), has been developed.

Up to 98 of any combination of Cirrus CCD, Cirrus HYBRID or ProPoint Plus Protec aspirating detectors can be connected on an RS485 wired network.

The primary function of the ADRDP is to identify any networked detector which may be in an alarm or  fault condition, thereby allowing the required actions to be carried out. 

The ADRDP is also a single access entry point to any detector allowing visual inspection, many programming features and viewing of detector information, logs and graphs for each device.

For onward signalling each ADRDP is provided with separate (non-monitored) volt-free changeover contacts for an alarm or fault condition on any network detector. A selectable ON/OFF buzzer is provided to alert local personnel, should this be required.

Each ADRDP contains an IP address and an RJ45 connector to allow connection to a site LAN and therefore network access from any location.

Each ADRDP utilises the same 7” full colour touch screen LCD display as the CCD and HYBRID detectors, allowing identical intuitive viewing and control of each device.

An ADRDP may also be used when long RS485 wired installations are necessary. Each ADRDP can be used to boost the network communication length by 1.2km.
