WAGNER Launches CPD Seminar To Demystify New European Standard For Aspirating Smoke Detection
EN54 Part 20 is the new European product standard for Aspirating Smoke Detectors (ASD). From July 2009 the vast majority of ASD systems installed in Europe will have to fully comply with this standard. The standard encompasses both the project design and the ASD systems installed. Since ASD systems, like other detectors for fire detection systems, fall under the Construction Products Directive, compliance with EN 54 Part 20 is a prerequisite for CE marking.
The standard introduces three classes for detector sensitivity, Class A (high sensitivity), B (enhanced sensitivity) and C (normal sensitivity), allowing designers and installers to select the most suitable solution for their application. Class C, normal sensitivity, is equivalent to traditional point detection. Class A and B provide much earlier smoke detection for more critical and demanding applications.
The hour-long CPD Seminars clearly explain the implications of the new standard and what is required to design and install a compliant system. WAGNER UK can also deliver seminars at client’s premises, to suit their own timeframe, for example a presentation with lunch, or at WAGNER’s own offices where their comprehensive demonstration facilities can be utilised. For information on the CPD seminars please call WAGNER UK on 0870 333 6116 or email sales@wagner-uk.com.
WAGNER UK’s TITANUS® family of ASD systems are fully compliant with EN54 Part 20 and can be installed with up to 64 sampling points and 560m of pipe for all three classes of sensitivity. It is vitally important that sensitivity thresholds do not change due to long-term drift and changing environmental conditions, as installations could become non-compliant over time. TITANUS® systems use advanced self-learning algorithms to ensure sensitivity thresholds remain within specification.
All of the ASD units in the TITANUS® range incorporate PIPE·GUARD and LOGIC·SENS. PIPE-GUARD is a unique monitoring system that detects if a sampling hole is blocked, a pipe is ruptured or if the air sampling unit has failed. This feature is vital in inaccessible areas where access is restricted and identification of individually blocked sampling points is essential. LOGIC·SENS is an advanced signal processing technology that analyses the smoke sample and provides the earliest possible smoke detection whilst safely eliminating false alarms such as cigarette smoke and diesel fumes.
The TITANUS® range has been developed by WAGNER as a simple and low cost air sampling system replacement for point smoke detectors. As well as applications where aesthetics are important, TITANUS® ASD can provide significant benefits for buildings with large open spaces, in areas where future access is likely to be a problem (in voids, shafts, locked rooms, etc) or where the environment is too harsh for traditional smoke detectors.
