OSID – Principle of Operation

Strictly confidential

Emitter

Obstruction

Dust

SmokeImager

UV beam

IR beam

An active emitter with wide beam LEDs transmit 2 different wavelengths, IR and UV, to the Imager

Intelligent software locates the specific pixels on the multi pixel CMOS imager illuminated by the uniquely coded emitter

Relative strengths of the 2 wavelength signals are compared to detect smoke and discriminate against nuisance alarm particulates

Only imager software tracks building movement without any need for controlled motor drives

8

UV-IR Signals

Smart algorithms Water droplets, dust, steam do affect the IR

and UV in a same way – no alarm

Genuine smoke affects IR and UV differently - alarm

10° imager with emitter at 280 ft (86 m) Forced misalignment - steps of 1°/min

1° = 5 ft (1.5 m) 4° = 20 ft (6 m) 8° = 40 ft (12 m) Fault at 9° misalignment – NO alarm

Misalignment guaranteed up to 4°

Resistance to reflections

Strictly confidential

Each emitter is uniquely coded During the commissioning search, if

two or more apparently identically coded and timed signals are found, the weaker ones are rejected as false reflections

16

Installation & commissioning

Simple installation using a mounting bracket Easy alignment with unique Laser Tool

– Require only rough alignment due to the wide angle of view of the imager(s)

– Up to 70% time saving compared to traditional beams

Beam length up to 492 ft– Outperforming traditional beams with 50%

Beyond projected beam detection

OSID Multi-emitter Solutions

OSIDTrue Detection Innovation

Imagers can be configured with various lenses for 10°, 45° and 90° field of detection

Multiple Emitters with wide beam LEDs are placed on the opposing wall and aligned

Intelligent software locates the pixels on the multi pixel CMOS imager illuminated by each uniquely coded emitter

Up to 7 emitters may be used at the same time with a single Imager

Emitters can be positioned on multiple planes

Challenging applications

36

OSID – Powerful Financial Benefits

Low implementation costs because of simple and fast installation and alignment Only the imager unit is wired Power supplied from panel Fast and simple coarse manual alignment

Cost-effective detection for challenging buildings Provides 50% better coverage than spot and

beam detectors Spatial 3-dimensional emitters enables wide

coverage Extra layers of detection provide improved

detection time

Lower maintenance cost for larger areas Test filter at the imager or emitter No intervention costs for misalignment

37

OSID - Reliable, Cost-Effective Choice for Open Area Detection

Reduced susceptibility to false alarms Dust and dirt Birds and insects Foreign objects Fog and steam

Lower installation and maintenance costs Easy to align Not susceptible to building movement

Not effected by ambient lighting
