Apollo Discovery CO/Heat Multisensor Detector

The Discovery CO/Heat Multisensor Detector is good at detecting deep-seated smouldering fires which give off a lot of CO as well as flaming fires. They are ideal for use in hotel bedrooms where steam may be present, dusty environments or even where simulated smoke may be present. The Discovery CO/Heat Multisensor Detector contains a CO detection cell and a thermistor temperature sensor whose outputs are combined to give the final analogue value. The way in which the signals from the two sensors are combined depends on the response mode selected. The CO/Heat Multisensor detects the presence of carbon monoxide or heat or a combination of both. The Multisensor construction is similar to that of a CO detector but uses a different lid in order to expose the thermistor to the surrounding air. The signals from the CO sensing cell and the thermistor are independent and represent the amount of CO or the temperature present in the vicinity of the detector. When the detector is used in heat only mode (Mode 5) it operates as an A1R rate-of-rise heat detector with a static threshold of 58�C. Brand Information Discovery� is a range of high-specification, analogue addressable fire detectors and alarm devices. Discovery detectors offer effective false alarm management by a combination of EN 54 approved operating modes and sophisticated algorithms. Drift compensation further reduces the likelihood of false alarms caused by a build-up of dust in the sensing chamber. In addition to the familiar smoke and heat detectors, the Discovery range features two multisensor detectors. One is an optical/heat multisensor which can be used to protect against many types of fire risk. The other is a carbon monoxide/heat multisensor which protects against both smouldering fires and those generating heat. Operating Principles Discovery detectors are designed to be operated with purpose-designed control and indicating equipment that makes full use of their features. Discovery can, however, be connected to any fire control panel which can operate existing ranges of Apollo analogue addressable detectors with the previously noted rule, that the control and indicating equipment must not have a drift algorithm operating on Discovery devices. Contact the fire control panel manufacturer for guidance.

Firesense is a leading independent UK distributor of fire detection, fire safety and security equipment, supporting professional installers and businesses across the country. Established in 1992 and based in Tunbridge Wells, the company has more than 30 years of experience within the fire and security industry.

Originally founded as a specialist manufacturer of conventional fire alarm control panels, Firesense has developed into a comprehensive supplier of fire detection, security, emergency lighting and life safety products. The company works with a wide range of recognised manufacturers, helping customers access reliable equipment for projects of different sizes and requirements.

Firesense supplies conventional, addressable, wireless and two-wire fire alarm systems alongside detectors, control panels, manual call points, sounders, cables, batteries, emergency lighting, fire alarm testing equipment and related accessories. Its expanding security range also includes CCTV, intruder alarm, access control and smart security solutions.

A key strength of Firesense is its experienced technical and account management team. Customers can receive practical product guidance and support when selecting equipment, designing systems or resolving technical enquiries. As an independent distributor, Firesense can recommend suitable products from across its available ranges rather than being restricted to a single manufacturer.

With extensive stock held at its Tunbridge Wells distribution centre, Firesense aims to provide fast and reliable nationwide supply, including rapid dispatch and trade counter collection.
