The Protec Algo-Tec™ 6000PLUS sensor range has been developed to incorporate advanced fire sensing technology, electronic sounders, high intensity LED visual alarm devices (VAD) and speech enhanced talking sounder capability, all integrated within the sensor head and powered from the loop.

6000PLUS/OPHT/VAD Interactive addressable high performance optical smoke and heat multi-sensor.

The dual technology multi-criteria fire detector uses detection of smoke by scattering of infra-red within the optical chamber coupled with thermal enhancement of the optical sensitivity, as well as providing temperature detection equivalent to grade A2. The smoke and heat channels can be controlled independently for day/night operation with intelligent data being evaluated by the Protec Algo-Tec™ 6000 interactive programmable algorithms.

These sensors react across the range of fire products from large visible particles from smouldering fires to open flaming fires producing very hot smaller particles and are therefore suitable for use in all smoke detection applications. The environmental conditioning algorithms can be selected to filter unwanted alarms and enhance performance.

Sensor VAD – Compliance with DDA legislation is assisted by the addition of the Protec visual alarm device (VAD) to the 6000PLUSensor, to warn those with hearing impairments or in noisy environments. The VAD utilises a high intensity LED with lower power consumption and increased reliability when compared to alternative indicators. The VAD is located in the centre of the sensor, so can be viewed from all angles. Suitable for ceiling mounting the VAD distributes light in a cylindrical pattern to achieve the required minimum illumination of 0.4lux over the entire coverage area in accordance with EN54-23. The maximum mounting height is 3m with a coverage diameter of 7.5m. For smaller areas the device can be programmed on-site for coverage diameter of 3m or 5m at reduced power.
