| Type | Conventional Detector |
Did you know
- The Apollo Orbis Marine series of fire detectors, including optical smoke and heat detectors, was introduced to meet the specific demands of marine environments. These products are designed to comply with marine directives and undergo additional approval tests beyond standard detectors.
- The Orbis Marine Optical Smoke Detector is part of Apollo's Orbis Marine range, which also includes heat detectors and multi-sensor detectors. It is distinct from the Apollo Discovery Marine range, which offers analogue addressable fire detectors suitable for larger vessels and more sophisticated systems. The Orbis Marine series focuses on conventional fire detection with features aimed at reliability and false alarm reduction in marine settings.
- The Orbis Marine Optical Smoke Detector is chosen for its advanced optical sensing technology, which significantly reduces false alarms while maintaining high reliability in detecting fires. It offers improved sensitivity to both black and white smoke, a notable difference from traditional optical smoke detectors.
| Model | Detection Principle | False Alarm Reduction | Approvals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orbis Marine Optical Smoke Detector | Photo-electric light scattering (measures back-scattered and forward-scattered light) | Advanced sensing technology, transient rejection, algorithms for alarm state, drift compensation | BV, LR, DNV.GL, CCS, ABS, MED |
| Orbis Marine Heat Detector | Measurement of heat by means of a thermistor | N/A (heat detection less prone to false alarms from smoke-like transients) | BV, LR, DNV.GL, CCS, ABS, MED (specific part numbers) |
| Discovery Marine Multi-Sensor Detector | Optical smoke and thermistor temperature sensors (combined signal) | Five operating modes, drift compensation, enhanced false alarm management | Certified to a broad range of marine approvals and EAC approved, SIL level 2 assessed and certified |
