Nittan St-i Ionisation Smoke Detector

What is the Nittan ST-I Ionisation Smoke Detector?

The Nittan ST-I is an ionisation-based smoke detector with high performance, designed to detect smoke particles in the air. While photoelectric detectors are more suited to smoldering fires, ionisation smoke detectors such as the ST-I are more sensitive to rapid-flaming fires—those that release small combustion particles rapidly.

This makes the ST-I particularly effective in situations where quick response is important, including commercial properties, factories, and some residential uses.

What is Ionisation Smoke Detection?

Ionisation detectors operate on the simple but clever principle. The detector contains a small quantity of radioactive material set between two charged plates. The arrangement ionises the air in the chamber to produce a slight, constant electric current. Upon entry of the smoke into the chamber, this current is blocked by the presence of the smoke, which forms a bond on the ions to neutralise them. This decline in current activates the sensor to sound the alarm.

Although there is radiation, the quantity is small and contained, and there is no risk to health in normal usage.

Features of the Nittan ST-I

Fast Response: With its ionisation-based technology, the ST-I detects fire sooner compared to most other detectors, particularly slow-smoldering types.

Strong and Compact Design: Built for tough use, it’s strong and lightweight and easy to install in most situations.

Reliable Sensing Technology: Constructed with Nittan’s dependable components, which provide stable performance even under extreme conditions.

Compatible with Nittan Systems: The ST-I can be fully integrated into Nittan’s control panels and systems, ensuring seamless operation in existing Nittan fire safety systems.

Low False Alarm Rate: Engineered to reduce the likelihood of nuisance alarms, which are costly and exasperating.

Applications

ST-I is most suited for situations involving the risk of fast-flaming fires. Some of these settings include:

Office and Commercial Locations: Fast detection can avoid loss and protect lives.

Industrial Operations: Particularly for locations with machines or electrical installations where flash fire is likely to occur.

Server Rooms and Electric Cabinets: Identification of small combusting particles on a fast pace can safeguard sophisticated and costly apparatus.

Public Facilities: Schools, airports, and hospitals that have crowds and require top-tier safety systems under protocols.
