The AIR-Intelligence high-sensitivity smoke detection system (HSSD) provides superior early warning smoke detectors that adapt to virtually any environment. AIR-Intelligence HSSD continuously adapt their sensitivity to the environment in which they are installed, providing alarm thresholds which are `relative` to the background particle levels in the protected area, instead of placing the alarm threshold at a fixed level relative to ambient conditions. At any time, the detector`s performance remains constant, regardless of fluctuations in the normal background particle level. AIR-Intelligence detectors only respond to particle levels significantly above the expected background level, such as from a genuine fire situation.

An innovative advanced delivery clean agent fire suppression system developed to provide fire protection for larger enclosures requiring longer agent flow distances. The Kidde Advanced Delivery System (ADS™) type Clean Agent Suppression System improves the performance of standard 360 psi (25 bar) or 500 psi (35 bar) systems by using a nitrogen driver to propel the agent through the piping network. This innovation provides better coverage, greater nozzle heights, smaller diameter pipe and longer pipe runs than a standard clean agent suppression system.

The ECS-500 clean agent fire suppression system introduces improved system design flexibility with reduced installation and material costs. The ECS-500 type Clean Agent Suppression Systems provide superior performance compared to 360 psi/25 bar systems. The higher storage pressure of 500 psi (35 bar) enables improvement of agent travel distance for applications where ADS™ performance levels are not required. Now you have the flexibility of a mid-tier solution to meet application size, design requirements and the client’s budget.

The 700 Series conventional smoke detector is an interchangeable head and base detector with a light scattering optical sensor that provides an excellent response to a wide range of fires. The 700 Series consists of two and four wire conventional photoelectric smoke, as well as photoelectric smoke with heat detectors.

The Kidde Fire Systems IND Dry Chemical System provides 24-hour fire protection for a wide variety of industrial processes, equipment, machinery and paint spray booth applications. The IND Dry Chemical system offers the choice of two dry chemical agents effective on Class A, B and C fires. It is available in two basic configurations: as a local application system or a total flood system. A local application system is designed to protect a specific piece of equipment, while a total flood system is recommended for protection of enclosed rooms or spaces. In addition to the configurations, the  IND System also offers options for detection and control to create a system that will be ideal for your application.

The ORION® XT laser based high-sensitive smoke detector (HSSD) offers early detection of invisible airborne particles generated during the early stage of a fire. The Kidde ORION® XT HSSD detects particles of combustion at levels of obscuration as low as 0.0015% per foot; thousand of times more sensitive than conventional smoke detectors. Laser optics, and Kidde`s particle counting technology provide for a stable, highly reliable incipient fire detector. An engineered & balanced air sampling network insures equal sensitivity throughout protected areas. The ORION XT is widely used for critical, high-asset equipment protection; process controls, robotics, MIS facilities, and automated conveyances.

The LHS Linear Heat Sensor is a flexible, durable and cost-effective fixed-temperature fire detector, suitable for protecting a wide range of commercial and industrial fire applications. LHS™ is a small diameter cable capable of detecting heat from a fire over its entire length. The sensor cable consists of a twisted pair of 19 AWG copper coated steel conductors covered by a temperature sensitive insulation, and protected by either a plastic braid or jacket for various environmental applications. The LHS Linear Heat Sensor is designed for open area, as well as proximity detection. A wide range of jackets and operating temperatures are available for proper system design, including confined areas or harsh environments which prohibit the use of other forms of detection. LHS is compatible with any fire control panel that is capable of accepting contact closure type initiating devices.
