- Two new aspirating smoke detectors, FDA261 and FDA262, extend the existing fire detection portfolio
- Particularly suited for critical infrastructure and very large protection areas
- Highly intuitive commissioning app and improved detection performance
- Modular design to prolong lifetime and reduce environmental footprint
Siemens has introduced two new aspirating
smoke detectors (ASD), FDA261 and FDA262, catering to particularly challenging
fire safety installations that extend over wide areas, such as large data
centers, e-commerce warehouses, or industrial manufacturing sites. A single device
can cover up to 6,700 m2, currently the largest coverage area available
on the market. Even for Class A installations with the highest sensitivity requirements,
up to 2,000 m2 of detection coverage is feasible with a single ASD+ detector.
The new ASD Connect
app ensures fast and easy digital commissioning. It
makes the commissioning process highly automated and intuitive. As a result, the
commissioning effort decreases significantly.
