The orbis optical smoke detectors introduced by nitin fire protection industries ltd. Are known for their sensing technology makes it significantly different in design from exciting optical detectors. Although the orbis optical detectors operates on the well established light scatter principle, it has a new optical systems that gives it even sensitivity to a broad spectrum of fire types, whatever color smoke is generated. The orbis optical smoke detector can therefore be calibrated at a sensitivity setting which makes it less likely to generate false alarms while still meeting international detection standards.
The stability of the detector is further increased by the incorporation of drift compensation and the use of algorithms to decide when the detector should change to the alarm state. This greatly reduces the likelihood of a detector producing an alarm as a result of smoke from a non-fire source.
Orbis optical detectors operate over a wide range of voltage at extremes of temperature: 8.5-33v at 4ºc to + 70ºc, a unique achievement for a conventional detector. Orbis optical detectors are recommended for use as general purpose smoke detectors for early warning of fire in lost areas.
