Image
Smoke detectors are one of those amazing inventions that play a huge part in your fire protection project. All smoke detectors consist of two basic parts: a sensor to detect smoke and an electronic audible alarm to alert people. Usually large commercial buildings, hospitals, shopping malls count on Interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms installation Gold Coast service to install this equipment. But, do you know about this equipment and how it works. Read below! Interconnected photoelectric detector It works from an infrared light beam and a sensor. When in contact with smoke, the beam disperses, sensor detect this and causes the alarm to go off. In a more technical way, the detector works based on the Tyndall effect that is observed inside a camera obscura with photoelectric elements that act in the infrared range. If there is smoke in the place where the detector is installed, particles dispersed in the air due to combustion will be detected by the electronic circuit and the a...
