Detection

Smoke Alarms (Smoke Detection)

Modern fire detection demands more than just sensitivity-it requires intelligence. The Signature Optica detector by Edwards is the first system smoke detector designed to differentiate between nuisance particles and actual fire threats-dramatically reducing false alarms. Using advanced photoelectric sensing, it analyzes smoke patterns with precision while maintaining stability in various environmental conditions.

This next-generation detector also features environmental compensation and protection against sensitivity drift, two major factors that often lead to false alarms in traditional systems. Fully compliant with UL 268, 7th edition standards, Signature Optica sets the new benchmark in smoke detection performance and reliability.

Heat Detection

Heat detectors respond to changes in temperature by using thermal sensors that gather analog data and convert it into digital signals. An onboard microprocessor analyzes this information in real time, helping to prevent unwanted alarms and ensure accurate detection.

CO Detection

Advanced electrochemical sensing for accurate carbon monoxide detection.

Signaling

Horns, Chimes, Strobes, and Speakers

Modern fire alarm signaling devices combine dependable performance with energy efficiency and sleek design. Available in both wall and ceiling mount configurations, these appliances include:

  • Low-frequency horns

  • Horn-strobes

  • Chimes and chime-strobes

  • Speakers and speaker-strobes

The Genesis LED family is among the most energy efficient in its class. These devices utilize patented electronics to deliver focused, code-compliant life safety solutions for both new construction and retrofit projects. With ultra-low current draw, Genesis LED appliances allow for longer wire runs, more devices per circuit, and reduced need for booster power supplies.

Additional features include:

  • Multi-candela strobes (15 cd to 177 cd) with on-demand light output settings

  • Synchronization within 10 milliseconds for devices on the same circuit

  • Expanded voltage operating range

  • Fully compliant with NFPA standards and UL/ULC listed

These signaling devices are engineered to blend with modern interiors while meeting the highest standards for performance and reliability.
