Esser: IQ8Quad Self-Test detector
The new IQ8Quad ST detector generation with integrated self-test module combines the latest detection technology with automated testing and maintenance of point-type fire detectors by physically generating smoke and heat within the detector to test the integrated sensors (optical and thermal).
Each detector uses patented self-test technology that automatically applies small amounts of test aerosol and heat to the sensor inside the detector to physically test the operation of the optical and heat sensors. In addition, anti-masking technology automatically tests the detector’s smoke inlets and outlets to ensure they are clear and unobstructed. This quickly identifies detectors that have been inadvertently or otherwise obscured.
During the walk-through visual inspection, the technician having a clear view of each self-test device can quickly verify or update device data as part of the intelligent inspection process using the Connected Life Safety Service (CLSS) App. Integrated Bluetooth beaconing further simplifies device management, allowing technicians via mobile phones to easily identify individual devices quickly finding any possible labelling, location mistakes and access detailed information on device type, settings and service information.
