Potter Electric Signal’s ARC-100 is an analog/addressable releasing fire alarm system with a total capacity of 100 addresses. Additional system capacity is achieved using multipoint SLC modules. Each SLC may be comprised of any combination of smoke sensor, heat detectors or modules. 

Bosch’s video-based fire detection system registers the presence of smoke and fire while covering a large monitoring area. It performs in low-light conditions and provides images with 1,080p resolution. It operates between –22°F and 158°F.

Nest’s smoke alarm features a voice alert that gives users an early warning. The split‑spectrum sensor uses two wavelengths of light to detect smoke from fast-burning and smoldering fires. It checks its batteries and sensors over 400 times a day and quietly tests the speaker and horn monthly.

Kidde’s sealed lithium-ion battery-powered smoke alarm uses ionization-sensing technology. It may detect invisible fire particles that are associated with flaming fires sooner than visible particles. It is tamper- resistant, has an alarm memory and a flashing red indicator LED with four modes of operation.

Gamewell-FCI’s AAD-9400X FAAST XT aspirating smoke detector uses an infrared laser and a blue LED to detect fire conditions as early as 60 minutes before a fire starts. It covers up to 28,800 sq. ft. using four pipe inlets with ultrasonic flow and chamber-airflow monitoring, which provides system-health information. A particle separator and 30-micron filter expel particulates not associated with smoke. It has five programmable sensitivity levels, three selectable fan speeds and two sensitivity modes. 


System Sensor’s DUCTSD duct smoke detector has a cover-integrated smoke test port that enables testing with any approved aerosol test smoke without the need of special tools or attachments. It uses a plug-in photoelectric smoke sensor with operating conditions ranging from –4 to 158°F and air speeds from 100 to 4,000 ft. per minute also without additional attachments. A wiring diagram and a QR code that links directly to the installation manual are printed on the inside of the black power board cover.
