OSID 1

Unique Detection Technology

The OSID system measures the level of smoke entering beams of light projected over an area of protection. A single OSID Imager can detect up to seven Emitters to provide a wide coverage area. Two innovations in smoke detection technology have been developed for the revolutionary OSID smoke detector.

Operation

Status information (Fire Alarm, Trouble and Power) is communicated through the Imager via Status LEDs, dedicated Trouble and Alarm relays, and the Remote Indicator interface. Specific Trouble (Fault) conditions are identified through coded ﬂ ashes of the Trouble LED.

An internal heating option is also provided on the Imager to prevent condensation on the optical surface, and a reset input enables an external signal to reset the device.

Simple Installation and Maintenance

The OSID system consists of up to seven Emitters, for the 45° and 90° Imager units, located along the perimeter of the protected area, and an Imager mounted opposite. Each component can be mounted directly to the surface or can be secured with the supplied mounting brackets. Battery powered Emitters with up to five years battery life are also available to reduce installation time and cost.

On the Imager, a termination card provides all field wiring terminals, and DIP switches enable the user to configure the detector for particular applications.

Alignment of the Emitter is simply achieved using a laser alignment tool to rotate the optical spheres until the laser beam projected from the alignment tool is close to the Imager.

The Imager is aligned in a similar way so that its Field of View (FOV) encompasses all Emitters. A Trouble or Fault will be indicated if an Emitter is missing or outside the Imager ﬁeld of view.

The OSID system is highly tolerant to dust and dirt and requires little maintenance in practice. Preventative maintenance is limited to occasionally cleaning the optical faces of the detector components.

Configuration Options

OSID systems may be conﬁgured to suit a range of detection spaces by selecting the number of Emitters and type of Imager. Each type of Imager differs by the lens used in the unit, which determines the ﬁeld of view and range of the system.
