Fire detectors Integral CUBUS

No. For proper colouring, it is necessary to disassemble a fire detector into individual parts. However, this leads to the loss of the calibration and thus the approval. A paint test without dismantling into individual parts can in turn lead to contamination of the measuring chamber and the temperature sensor - and thus to faulty functioning.

Yes. Our Cubus automatic fire detectors can be configured to be time-controlled and can detect heat during the day and smoke at night, for example. This setting is mostly used in commercial kitchens. 

Our fire detectors all come from our own production and are developed and produced by our group sister Hekatron in Germany.

Modern fire detectors can be roughly divided into three groups:

1. Non-automatic fire detectors (manual alarm notification)
2. Automatic fire detectors
3. Special fire detectors for special applications

Depending on the type of sensor technology, automatic fire detectors are divided into multiple sensor detectors, smoke detectors, heat detectors, fire gas detectors (CO) and flame detectors.

Multiple sensor detectors work with several different sensors and thus combine different fire detection systems in one device (e.g. smoke detectors, heat detectors and fire gas detectors). This means that only one detector is required for all applications.

Smoke detectors only have one sensor and are only triggered if smoke particles enter the measuring chamber, these smoke particles scatter a light beam emitted by an infrared diode and parts of this scattered light fall on a light-sensitive sensor (scattered light principle). Smoke detectors are mainly used to detect smouldering fires.

1. Predominant environmental and ambient conditions
2. the room height
3. and the expected fire characteristics

are used to select the correct fire detectors.

On the one hand, the quantity and arrangement of the automatic fire detectors depends on nationally applicable standards / guidelines and, on the other hand, it depends on the type of detectors used, the room geometry, the type of use and on the ambient conditions in the rooms to be monitored. The detectors must be selected in such a way as to reliably detect fires in their formation phase and to prevent deceptive alarms.

Yes. Our fire detectors can be provided in all RAL colours on request. Optionally, up to two gloss levels are possible (silk matt and gloss). However, our fire detectors are white (RAL 9003) as standard.

Multiple sensor detectors and smoke detectors are only triggered if smoke particles enter the measuring chamber, these smoke particles scatter a light beam emitted by an infrared diode and parts of this scattered light fall on a light-sensitive sensor (scattered light principle). Over years, more and more dirt particles get into this measuring chamber, which can lead to deceptive and false alarms.

Our automatic fire detectors permanently monitor your measuring chamber for contamination. If dirt particles are detected in the measuring chamber, they adjust their alarm sensitivity so that the detector remains reliable and fully functional regardless of its contamination. This process is called pollution compensation.

By means of the contamination prediction, the detector independently provides information when replacement becomes necessary and the contamination compensation is no longer sufficient. 

According to European standards, smoke alarms cannot and must not be used with an automatic fire alarm system that ensures reliable alarm notification of action forces. Therefore, smoke alarms are mainly used on the house and apartment market, where there are no official requirements for an automatic fire alarm system. In addition, smoke alarms are powered by batteries and it must be possible to check their function manually – e.g. by pressing a button.
