Gamewell-FCI by Honeywell of Northford, Conn., introduces the VLC-400 aspirating detector, which senses and verifies traces of smoke. As many as 126 addressable VLC-400 detectors can connect directly to the signaling line circuit (SLC) of the company’s E3 Series fire alarm and emergency communications systems.
The UL-Listed detector’s advanced air sampling technology provides early smoke warning. A dual stage filter within each detector keeps internal optical surfaces clean, eliminating the need for drift compensation, according to the company.
With five different sensitivity modes and a smoke threshold auto-programming feature, the product can monitor air conditions for up to 15 days to ensure each detector’s sensitivity settings match the needs of its location.
