The remote unit 14, 16, 18 includes an optical sensor 116 for identifying colour characteristics of the optically recognisable colour elements 201-210, and a control system 118 for determining the address from the colour characteristics.
Smoke detector housing and surface mount
A smoke detector includes detector mount that can define a cavity into which air can flow to a detector component of a detector body engaged with the detector mount. The detector mount can include a base, e.g., that defines a cavity into which air can flow and/or into which a portion of the detector body can extend, and an intermediate component that can removably engage with both the base and the detector body so the base is engaged with the detector body via the intermediate component. The intermediate component can include fins or other features to direct air flow in the cavity to one or more portions of the detector body.
Lighting device which can be used for camping and leisure and has vehicle safety warning light and fire detection functions
A lighting device equipped at all times in a vehicle, which can be used for camping and leisure and has a function of a safety warning light of the vehicle, according to the present invention, comprises: a rectangular-shaped fixing plate having a pair of first magnet members which are disposed horizontally; a “C”-shaped front insertion groove which is formed on the front surface of the fixing plate and is formed to be adjacent to the edges of the fixing plate excluding the upper or lower edge of the fixing plate; a “C”-shaped first support member which is selectively fixed to the front insertion groove and is installed rotatably toward the front surface with respect to the fixing plate by the medium of a hinge; a pair of side surface insertion grooves which are longitudinally formed on the respective sides of the fixing plate; a pair of second support members which are respectively coupled to the inside of the side surface insertion grooves by the medium of a hinge, and are unfolded in a direction opposite to the first support member; a light unit which has, on the rear surface thereof, a second magnet member coupled to the first magnet members, has a battery embedded therein, and has a lighting device on the front surface thereof; and a cover which is rotatably coupled to the light unit by the medium of a hinge so as to selectively cover the lighting device, wherein the lighting device may flicker when the lighting device is covered by the cover.
Fire detection devices and systems and methods for their use
A fire detection device includes a vented detector housing, with an opening defined in a mounting base. A substance exhaust channel in air flow communication with the opening extends upward from the mounting base. A pressure release turbine includes an impeller operatively disposed in the channel. A rotation sensor senses rotation of the impeller and generates an alert upon detection of a heat level indicated by rotation of the turbine rotor at a predetermined speed. A high pressure and/or heat louver disposed over the opening opens in response to a predetermined heat level. An actuator detects opening of the louver and generates an alert. A thermostatic device disposed in the housing senses, and generates an alert at, a predetermined heat level. A thermal imaging device disposed in the housing senses, and generates an alert at, a predetermined heat level.
Increasing The Suction Power In An Aspirating Smoke Detector (ASD) To Shorten The Transport Time From A Detected Minimum Signal Level Value Without The Output Of An Interruption Signal
The present disclosure relates to aspirating smoke detectors (ASD). In an ASD, ambient air is aspirated and is fed to a fire detector unit for determining a signal level. For normal operation, the suction power is set to a nominal airflow value and this is increased from a minimum signal level value in order to shorten the transport time of aspirated smoke through the suction pipe to the fire detector unit. In some embodiments, an interruption signal provided for normal operation is output if the airflow exceeds an upper limit value for a minimum period. Independently thereof, the suction power is increased from the minimum signal level value only to the extent that the airflow does not exceed the upper limit value. Or, regardless thereof, the suction power is increased only for a timespan smaller than the minimum period in which the airflow exceeds the upper limit value.

In some examples, one or more embodiments include an aspirating smoke detector device comprising a printed circuit board (PCB), a manifold including a first flow channel and a second flow channel, a blower housing configured to receive a blower, a first sensor head housing connected to the blower housing via the first flow channel, wherein the first sensor head housing is configured to receive a first sensor head, and a second sensor head housing connected to the blower housing via the second flow channel, wherein the second sensor head housing is configured to receive a second sensor head, and a gasket configured to fluidically seal the manifold to the PCB.
BATTERY TAMPER INDICATOR FOR DETECTOR
A smoke detector includes a tamper indicator that can prevent a cover from at least partially covering a battery location and/or mounting of a detector body to a detector mount if a battery is not located at the battery location of the detector body. The detector mount and/or cover can engage with the detector body by relative rotation about an engagement axis, and the tamper indicator can pivot about a pivot axis that is parallel to the engagement axis and/or move along a linear path. The tamper indicator can prevent engagement of a portion of the detector mount, such as an intermediate component between the detector body and a base of the detector mount, with the detector body. The intermediate component can at least partially cover the battery location when engaged with the detector body. The base of the detector mount can engage with the detector body via the intermediate component.
