Intelligent Multisensor Smoke and CO Detector KI-PCD

Intelligent Multisensor Smoke and CO Detector KI-PCD

Manufacture: kidde

Product code: KI-PCD

The KI-PCD detector brings advanced multisensor technology to a practical design that increases efficiency, saves installation time, cuts costs, and extends life safety and property protection capabilities. Continuous self-diagnostics ensure reliability over the long-haul, while environmental compensation helps reduce maintenance costs. The KI-PCD provides a combination of optical detection for the early detection of smoke, with the added element of carbon monoxide sensing. The result is a detector that pulls double duty: continually monitoring the environment for signs of fire — as well as its invisible yet deadly companion: carbon monoxide. Like all KI Series detectors, the KI-PCD gathers analog information its sensing elements and converts this data digital signals. To make an alarm decision, the detector’s on-board microprocessor measures and analyzes smoke sensor readings and compares this information to historical data. Digital filters remove signal patterns that are not typical of fires, thus virtually eliminating unwanted alarms. The detector also analyzes the smoke sensor independently the CO sensor to determine whether to initiate a fire alarm, a life safety CO alarm, or both

Application Smoke detection

The KI-PCD detects extremely small particles of combustion and triggers an alarm at the first 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 fire types, especially slow burning fires fuelled by combustibles typically found in modern multi-use buildings.

CO Detection

Monitored CO detection, such as that provided by the KI-PCD, 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. 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.
