SERIES 65
Conventional Fire Detectors and Series 60
Intrinsically Safe Detectors
The Series 65 range of fire detectors comprises ionisation and optical smoke
detectors and four grades of heat detector, all with enhanced performance,
high reliability and attractive appearance. Each detector incorporates an
application-specific chip, using technology originally developed for analogue
addressable detectors.
