Edwards KI-OSD Optical Smoke Detector

Edwards KI-OSD Optical Smoke Detector

The Edwards Intelligent Optica Series KI-OSD smoke detector brings advanced optical (photoelectric) sensing technology. To a practical design that increases efficiency, saves installation time, and cuts costs. And extends life safety and property protection capabilities.

Like all Edwards Intelligent Optica Series detectors, KI-OSD is an intelligent device. It gathers analog information from multiple optical sensors, converting this data into digital signals. Utilizing dual optical wavelengths combined with multiple detection angles, Edwards KI-OSD differentiates particles that are not representative of actual smoke. Particle data – input into digital filters, which feed a series of ratios removing signal patterns. To make an alarm decision, the detector’s onboard microprocessor measures. Analyzes all-optical sensor readings and compares this information to preprogrammed settings.
