Panda Enclosure at Kuala Lumpur Zoo protected by FFE

FFEKuala Lumpur ZooZoo Negara in Kuala Lumpur has installed FFE’s Fireray beam smoke detectors in the panda enclosure and viewing area. The detectors are designed to trigger a smoke spill fan in the event of a fire.

Because of the atrium’s high ceiling, conventional smoke detectors were not suitable for this installation,” commented Mr K. S. Yau of Prospect Safety Technology Sdn Bhd, the installation company. “A sprinkler system was also not an option due to their slower response times. Beam detectors were therefore best for this installation due to their extremely fast response times,” he added. Read more

Fireray Optical Beam Smoke Detectors Protect Oil Dispersant Warehouse

FFEfireray5000Oil Spill Response Ltd (OSRL) has installed three FFE Fireray 5000 auto-aligning optical beam smoke detectors in its oil dispersant warehouse in Southampton. The detectors were installed by Forward Control Ltd of Portsmouth.

Beam smoke detectors provide wide-area detection and are used when it is impractical, inappropriate or not cost-effective to use traditional point-type detectors. They are ideally suited to large interiors with high ceilings, such as warehouses, as they enable coverage of a large area at minimal cost. Read more

FFE’s Light Cancelation Technology Receives UK Patent

firerayffeFFE has been awarded a UK patent (Patent No. GB2513366) for its innovative new light cancelation technology for its Fireray range of infrared beam smoke detectors.

The technology works by actively monitoring ambient light levels on the detector and ‘subtracting’ them away from the ‘real’ signal. This allows the detector to work under the most difficult light conditions, including sunlight, sodium lamps and fluorescent lighting.

“It’s no exaggeration to say that this technology is unique,” comments FFE research engineer Read more

FIRERAY Heater Keeps Optical Beam Smoke Detectors Clear of Condensation

FFEheatersFIRERAY optical beam smoke detectors provide wide area smoke detection when it is impractical to use traditional point-type detectors. They are also ideal for large indoor spaces with high ceilings, such as warehouses, sports arenas, factories or shopping malls. There are two general types of detector: projected, which utilise two detector heads; and reflective, which have one detector head and a reflector (prism). Read more
