As a result, Fagus-GreCon has reinforced its role as a technological leader in fire prevention, said the company, adding that its innovative optical detector is a key prerequisite for further strengthening the interconnection of fire prevention, production reliability and quality assurance.

Fagus-GreCon says that, thanks to the optical detector system, spark detectors are becoming even more reliable, as they can now be customised to the requirements at the installation site with more precision than ever before. This is made possible by multi-sensor technology which has been integrated in the optical detector to capture signals from the infra-red radiation spectrum. GreCon IDT, Fagus-GreCon's intelligent detector technology processes the signals generated in this way and causes the desired reaction within a matter of milliseconds

A spark detector featuring this design performs perfectly when it comes to the detection of all types of ignition sources while at the same time reducing false alarms.  This is made possible as IDT uses, for example, separately captured extraneous light to automatically enable and disable sensors which are sensitive to light that comes from external light sources. Thus, the detector is able to differentiate between dangerous ignition sources and influences from extraneous light. Undesired extinguishing processes triggered by false alarms are thus reduced.
