Operation Orbis I.S. Optical/Heat Multisensor Detector

Orbis I.S. Optical/Heat Multisensor Detectors can be readily used dimensional drawing
instead of optical detectors but should be used as the detector of
choice for areas where the fire risk is likely to include heat at an
early stage in the development of the fire.
The Multisensor detector has two sensors, one for smoke and one
for heat with the alarm decision derived from either sensor or
combination of both.
As with all the Orbis I.S. range of detectors the increased reliability
of detection is combined with high immunity to false alarms.
