Smoke Detector FDR26: Precise Smoke Detection for Server Rooms and Industry

Smoke Detector FDR26: Precision Fire Detection for Server Rooms and Industry

The HW group Smoke Detector FDR26 is an advanced optical smoke sensor engineered for fire detection and alarm signaling in critical environments like server rooms, data centers, telecommunication hubs, and industrial facilities. Utilizing an optical detection chamber, it identifies combustion products without being affected by temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for climate-controlled spaces. When smoke is detected, it activates a relay that integrates with HW group devices such as Poseidon2 or Ares, enabling real-time remote monitoring via LAN, GSM, SNMP, or email. This ensures swift response to potential fire hazards, safeguarding assets and minimizing downtime.

Designed for environments where early fire detection is critical, the FDR26 offers robust protection against fire risks. Its insensitivity to temperature changes eliminates false alarms in areas with variable climates, such as air-conditioned server rooms. Integration with HW group’s monitoring systems provides a comprehensive solution for data center security, delivering instant alerts and seamless connectivity for proactive fire management.

Key Features of the Smoke Detector FDR26

Optical Detection: Detects smoke particles entering the chamber, with a red LED and switching relay (1A/30V DC, 0.5A/125V AC) for alarm signaling.
Temperature Insensitivity: Unaffected by temperature fluctuations, ideal for climate-controlled server rooms.
Device Compatibility: Works seamlessly with HW group devices like Poseidon2, Ares, STE2, and Damocles via digital inputs (dry contact).
Test Function: Magnet-activated test at the "TEST" label verifies electronics and relay functionality without smoke.
Power Requirements: Operates on 10.5–14V DC (typically 12V DC, external adapter required, not included).
Simple Installation: Ceiling-mounted, ideally centered, at least 50 cm from corners, covering up to 40 m² (7 m height).

Smoke detector FDR26 - Precise smoke detection

HW-group Smoke detector FDR26

The HW group Smoke Detector FDR26 is an optical smoke detector specifically designed for smoke detection and fire alarm signaling in sensitive environments such as server rooms, data centers, telecommunication rooms, and industrial facilities. The sensor uses an optical detection chamber to identify combustion products in the air and does not respond to temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for climate-controlled rooms. When smoke is detected, a relay is activated, which can be connected to HW group devices such as Poseidon2 or Ares to enable remote monitoring via LAN, GSM, SNMP, or email.

The Smoke Detector FDR26 provides a reliable solution for smoke detection in sensitive environments. Compared to other fire detectors, it is specially optimized for server rooms as it does not respond to temperature fluctuations, reducing false alarms. Integration with HW group devices allows easy incorporation into existing monitoring systems, while the test function simplifies maintenance.
