In an automatic fire detection and alarm system, the role of automatic smoke detection is paramount.
Traditional smoke detectors trigger an alarm as soon as they detect smoke, leading to a series of actions until the system is reset. However, Airlight’s fire panel takes a more discerning approach. When it detects the presence of smoke, it initiates a pre-alarm limited to the control panel. The control panel indicates the location of the detected smoke and the existing smoke density. Fire alarm monitoring staff can then take appropriate action based on variations in smoke levels. If the smoke level diminishes, the control panel ceases the pre-alarm.
If smoke persists continuously for more than 30 seconds or as per the pre-alarm delay setting, it triggers the main alarm, restricted to the locations where smoke is detected. This alerts occupants to confirm the situation through talkback speakers or manual call points. If the smoke dissipates, the control panel automatically stops the alarm and returns to normal.
Furthermore, various temporary situations, such as activities like rituals, welding maintenance work, or dust cleaning, can temporarily introduce smoke. Airlight’s fire panel adeptly manages these types of false alarms.
Dust contamination in smoke detector chambers due to air pollution is another concern. Maintenance service providers can monitor dust accumulation levels from the control panel display to schedule cleaning and maintenance. If unnoticed, the detector automatically triggers a faulty alarm, specifying the detector’s location for prompt action.
Airlight’s fire panel employs a special algorithm to differentiate between dust and smoke, significantly reducing false alarms caused by dust. These features collectively enhance reliability, maintain system integrity, and prevent unnecessary business interruptions.

faq
To restore the smoke sensor to its original sensitivity, the solution lies in periodic calibration. This calibration process is typically carried out by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). During calibration, the OEM performs sensitivity checks using a master sensor. If the sensor being calibrated falls outside the acceptable sensitivity range, the OEM will replace the LED and perform the necessary adjustments to bring the sensor back to its original sensitivity level.
Calibration of smoke detectors can only be carried out by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). This is because each OEM has engineered their smoke detectors using their unique techniques, making it a technology and trade secret. As a result, only the OEM has the necessary knowledge and expertise to accurately calibrate their smoke detectors.
Yes, periodic calibration is mandatory according to the National Building Code, specifically stated in IS 2189. When applying for the initial building license and during license renewal, calibration certificates must be provided. It is the responsibility of the builder, building owner, system installer, annual maintenance contract (AMC) contractor, fire authorities and third-party auditors to ensure compliance with this requirement and verify the calibration status.
To ensure calibration service support from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), you should negotiate with suppliers regarding warranty and guarantee terms for the proposed smoke detector. Request assurance for the expected lifespan of the smoke detector while maintaining its original sensitivity, as well as information on the acceptable deviation level for sensitivity for one or two years. The OEM should provide free calibration services or charge a nominal fee for them. Additionally, any sensors that fall out of sensitivity range should be rectified or replaced by the OEM at no cost. This agreement should be made in writing to protect the investment made in the automatic fire alarm system, with a calibration service support guaranteed for at least five years.
Even though the smoke sensor may appear to be functioning correctly during periodic checks with agarbathi (incense stick), it is not a professional or reliable method for validating its functionality. Over time, smoke detectors can deteriorate and lose their effectiveness. Relying solely on the perception of safety provided by an aged smoke sensor can be misleading. It is the responsibility of fire authorities, auditors, building owners, AMC contractors, and other stakeholders to ensure that the fire detection system is in proper working condition. Neglecting calibration and relying on outdated or potentially faulty smoke sensors can have serious consequences in the event of a fire incident, as it may impact the liability of responsible authorities and insurance coverage for potential losses.
Certification agencies such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories), FM (Factory Mutual), and others serve as American government-accredited laboratories that offer services for conducting environmental-type tests to validate the functionality of smoke detectors. These tests are designed to meet the standards prescribed in American standards, such as ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). If a smoke detector successfully passes these tests, the certification agencies can provide certification.
However, it’s important to note that these certifications do not necessarily guarantee the quality of the smoke detectors. Moreover, in India, these certifications are not mandatory and may not be beneficial or relevant for the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or the buyer.
The Airlight Automatic Fire detection system is an advanced solution for fire detection in buildings. It utilizes real-time ultra-sensitive smoke sensors and thermal sensors to monitor the environment. These sensors enable the fire panel to provide real-time information about temperature and the density of smoke in protected areas.
