Overview of Siemens FPT-11 (500-095918)
Siemens FPT-11 is a photoelectric smoke detector designed to be used in Siemens fire alarm systems. It is powered by sophisticated optical sensing technology that detects the presence of particles in smoke, triggering an early warning signal that can avert devastating fire damage.
Key Model:
Model Name: 500-095918
Model Type: Photoelectric Smoke Detector
Manufacturer: Siemens
Series: FPT (Fire Protection Technology)
Features and Advantages
1. Photoelectric Detection Technology
The FPT-11 employs a cutting-edge photoelectric sensor that rapidly detects smoke from smoldering fires, which tend to be the most hazardous because they are not visible early enough. This provides earlier detection than traditional ionization-based detectors.
2. Compatible with Siemens Control Panels
Designed to work in harmony with Siemens fire alarm panels, particularly in commercial structures, offices, and industrial facilities. This provides consistent performance and ease of maintenance.
3. LED Status Indicator
The detector has an easy-to-understand LED that offers visible status indications—green for regular operation, red for alarm mode—enabling facility managers and maintenance personnel to quickly determine system conditions.
4. Durable and Rugged Design
Designed for harsh environments, the Siemens FPT-11 is constructed with high-quality materials that provide a long operational life and resistance to dust, temperature fluctuations, and humidity.
5. Simple Installation and Maintenance
Its convenient mounting base and plug-in feature minimize installation time and labor expenses. The unit is field serviceable and has a dust cover to shield the sensing chamber while installing.
6. Smart Sensitivity Adjustment
The product dynamically adjusts its sensitivity to environmental fluctuations, reducing unnecessary alarms due to dust, cooking smoke, or aerosol sprays.
Applications
The Siemens FPT-11 smoke detector is suitable for many applications, such as
Commercial Offices: Provides discreet yet effective fire surveillance.
Data Centers: Safeguards valuable hardware and information against fire hazards.
Factories and Warehouses: Constructed to withstand industrial environments.
Educational Institutions: Assures the well-being of faculty and students through early fire notifications.
Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities: Important for safeguarding vulnerable populations.
