System Sensor's Coptir multisensor combines independent carbon monoxide, photoelectric smoke, thermal heat and infrared light sensors working together, managed by highly sophisticated and responsive algorithms. By measuring and processing the individual sensor outputs in conjunction with intelligent algorithms, the detector is both ultra-immune to nuisance sources that are incorrectly identified as a real fire, by one sensing element and is yet very sensitive to fires.
Smoke detection is the most effective method of providing early warning of a fire however, due to the principle of operation, it is also prone to false alarms, particularly if installed in unsuitable environments. Coptir senses the four elements of a fire (CO, particulate matter, heat and light) and uses the information gathered in from all sensors to determine the response of the smoke detector. For example, if it senses CO and smoke it will detect a fire, but if it senses smoke without CO, it will protect against this potential false alarm and not go into alarm.
