The A2000 Intelligent Multi-Criteria Detector is a point detection device that continuously samples both the air and the temperature variation in the protected area to provide the earliest warning of a fire condition. Special algorithms utilise information from both the smoke and heat sensing elements to ensure high level of false alarm rejection without compromising genuine alarm sensing performance. This detector forms part of the Altair range of aesthetically pleasing low profile detection and alarm products and is fully compatible with all fire control equipment utilising the Argus fully digital communication protocol.
