Fires: Analog Systems

At Imsel Seguridad, SA , we seek the appropriate detection system that allows the rapid location of a potential fire without human intervention, thus minimizing the risk to lives and property damage.

Conventional systems are ideal for small and low-complexity installations, but in large installations they present drawbacks in quickly detecting the point where the fire occurs .

In contrast, analog detection systems allow for the precise location of any sign of fire and can centralize all areas in a single control panel . They also offer the possibility of integration with public address systems for evacuation , and with the optional software program, an instant response is guaranteed .

Imsel Seguridad, SA offers you the possibility of migrating to analog fire detection systems .

The system has an analog control unit with algorithmic evaluation suitable for fire detection and alarm in medium and large facilities, allowing their control and management.
It also has an interface and capacity for two optional interfaces (for connection to a graphic management PC, interface for communication with TCP/IP protocol and integration to management systems and for connection with repeater panels).
Its modular design allows the user to configure the panel according to the requirements of their installation.
It also incorporates AWACS algorithms for the management of laser detectors (VIEW), a very useful feature for achieving early fire detection in facilities with vital areas, such as data centers, clean rooms, archives, etc.
Its microelectronic technology, calculation software, and decision algorithms result in a product of extraordinary versatility and stability.
It has a 240 x 64 pixel LCD liquid crystal display that provides complete information about the system and its simple operation allows both the installer and the user to operate it using only a few keys.
With the Autoprogramming function (which recognizes installed equipment), it significantly reduces the time spent on system startup.
The central unit can work with Master/Slave or ID2net type networks.

Optical-analog smoke detectors

The range of analog detectors incorporates a new protocol that allows more equipment to be installed on the same loop and offers greater control, configurability and management of equipment while, in turn, optimizing its location and use with unprecedented flexibility.
Main features:
– A detection chamber with a completely new design that improves detector response, reduces sensitivity changes caused by dust accumulation , and decreases the incidence of false alarms caused by insects or dirt entering the chamber.
– They integrate software that controls them through complex algorithms, which improves resistance to false alarms and detection speed .
– Better response to more types of fire.
.- Short-circuit insulator with status control.
– Two tri-colored LEDs that provide a visual indication of the detector’s status from any point.
– Processing circuits with smoothing filters and Elimination of transient ambient noise, which causes unwanted alarms.

Graphic management program

The graphical program allows for easy and quick management of any incident that occurs in the facilities monitored by the computer where the application is installed.
All analog control panels have an RS232 serial communications port, through which events will be transmitted to the management program.
There are different types of connections between control panels and the management software. The simplest is a direct connection between the control panel’s RS232 serial port (DB9) and the management computer’s RS232 serial port. This connection allows you to connect as many control panels as the computer has serial ports.
A message transmitter can be connected to the port, which sends selected events (alarms, faults, canceled, …) to GSM mobile phones (via SMS) and/or compatible electronic organizers.
The program allows for an immediate reading of the status of each sensor and input/output module, indicating whether they are in alarm, malfunctioning (with a description of the type of malfunction), disabled, etc. For control modules and sirens, activation or silencing is also possible.
The devices (sensors and input/output modules) can be placed on floor plans, and an area can be highlighted if a device’s status changes. Changes in floor plans, counters for devices in alarm, fault, disabled, etc., can also be linked. The program includes a quick view of the devices’ status. This screen displays the current status of the sensors and input/output modules. Clicking on the selected device accesses its location on the floor plan, allowing its programming to be modified.
In the event of an alarm, malfunction, or any other incident, a real-time graphical representation of the sensor’s status will be generated. This allows for a rapid assessment of the alarm’s evolution and enables actions to be taken on the siren modules, even before the control panel initiates the evacuation process. The program will also switch to the map showing the equipment’s location or to the initial map, indicating the route to reach it. Video files can be linked, showing the path to the equipment or the evacuation route.
Multiple secondary management computers can be connected at any point on the company’s corporate network (Intranet).
