Bosch Security Systems is extending its 420 Series Aspirating Smoke Detectors with a version offering very early detection and localization of fires. The Aspirating Smoke Detector features Room-Ident.

This feature enables individual identification of up to five rooms and quickly tracks down the source of a fire in four phases, displaying the result both on the unit itself and on the companys Modular Fire Panel 5000 Series. The new version also features a ten-digit bar graph for monitoring smoke pollution. The detector unit is capable of protecting areas of up to 400 square meters even under challenging environmental conditions. Potential application areas include hotels, small server rooms and small high-rise warehouses.
