Intelligent Combination Smoke CO Detector V-PCOS

Intelligent Combination Smoke CO Detector V-PCOS

Product code: V-PCOS

Kidde brand V-PCOS ⭐
✅ photoelectric detectors bring advanced sensing technology to a practical design that increases effciency, saves installation time, cuts costs, and extends life safety and property protection capabilities. Continuous self-diagnostics ensure reliability over the long-haul, while innovative feld-replacable smoke chambers make detector maintenance literally a snap. With its on board CO sensor, this detector pulls double-duty — continually monitoring the environment for signs of smoke, as well as its invisible yet deadly companion, carbon monoxide.

Product information

- The V-PCOS is an intelligent device that gathers analog information its smoke and CO sensor (if present), converting this data digital signals. To make an alarm decision, the detector’s on-board microprocessor measures and analyzes sensor readings and compares this information to historical data. Digital flters remove signal patterns that are not typical of fres, thus virtually eliminating unwanted alarms.

- The V-PCOS includes an advanced carbon monoxide sensor and daughterboard. When the electrochemical cell reaches its end of life after approximately six years, the detector signals a trouble condition to the control panel. The sensor/daughterboard module is feld-replaceable.

Application

Smoke detection

The V-PCOS detects extremely small particles of combustion and triggers an alarm at the frst sign of smoke. Thanks to its highperformance forward scattering reﬂective response technology, the photoelectric smoke sensor responds quickly and reliably to a wide range of fre types, especially slow burning fres fuelled by combustibles typically found in modern multi-use buildings.

Carbon monoxide detection

CO detection has rapidly become a standard part of life safety strategies everywhere. Monitored CO detection is becoming mandated with increasing frequency in all types of commercial applications, but particularly in occupancies such as hotels, rooming houses, dormitories, day care facilities, schools, hospitals, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. In fact, more than half of the U.S. population already lives in states requiring the installation of CO detectors in some commercial occupancies. This is because carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America. Known as the “Silent Killer,” CO is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. It claims nearly 500 lives, and results in more than 15,000 hospital visits annually.
