The Fire Sentry SS4 Electro-Optical Digital
Fire and Flame Detectors represent
leading edge UV and UV/IR technology.
FireSentry SS4-A
The Fire Sentry SS4-A represents the world’s pre-eminent UV/IR technology forElectro-Optical Flame Detectors with tens of thousands successfully operating ina multitude of installations worldwide. This multi-spectrum detector senses radiantenergy in the ultraviolet (UV), visible and Wide Band Infrared™ (IR) spectrum. The
radiant energy from all types of flaming fires will alert the detector to their presence.
To eliminate common nuisance false alarms that occasionally occur with
UV-only, IR-only, Dual IR or Dual Mode UV/IR detectors, the Fire Sentry SS4
detectors’ FireLogic signal processing requires that UV, visible and WideBand IR radiant energy all be evaluated before declaring a fire. The smart
detector utilizes real-time signal processing algorithms that are optimized
to alarm on all types of fires, while virtually eliminating the possibility offalse alarms.

Fire Sentry SS4-AS
The Fire Sentry SS4-AS processes UV, IR and Visible (VIS) spectral ranges fromruggedized solar-blind UV, “Quantum-Effect” IR and VIS sensors correspondingly.
It is optimized for detection of hydrogen, ethanol, methanol and methane (naturalgas) fires and like the other detectors in its family, it responds to Type A, B and C
flaming fires.

Fire Sentry SS4-AUV
The Fire Sentry SS4-AUV represents the leading edge technology UV opticalflame detectors. This flame detector senses radiant energy in the ultraviolet (UV)
spectrum. The radiant emissions of flaming fires will alert the detector totheir presence.

Fire Sentry SS4Detectors

The field of view for the FireSentry SS4 detectors is thewidest in the industry with a 120°cone of vision. This means morehazard area can be covered byeach detector. Greater sensitivity
also increases the volume
covered by each detector, up to
four times more than some otherdetectors.
Using sophisticatedmicroprocessor signal processing
algorithms, false alarm rejection
is maximized – with virtual
immunity to false alarms from arc
welding, corona discharge andother common non-fire sources.

Operation
The Fire Sentry SS4 detectors operate from standard 24 Volt DC power andinterfaces to approved fire alarm panels or standard PLC’s. When power isapplied, a self-test is performed and the fault relay resets to show no faults.
The front LED lights flash every ten seconds to indicate power is on.
The continuous spectral data stream of information from the sensor array isanalyzed by the microprocessor. Upon alarm, the detector activates thealarm relay and stores all the pre-fire spectral data in non-volatile memory forretrieval and evaluation. This Fire Pic™ data can be used to postulate thecause of the fire.
As part of the FS2000™ System, the SS4 family of detectors communicate
with CM1-A Controller via a four wire bi-directional RS-485 FireBus™.
