Facility managers of historic institutions can take advantage of today’s technological innovations that enable superior early smoke detection without compromising beautiful aesthetics with intrusive ceiling mounts or wiring. The latest beam detector technology, called Open-area Smoke Imaging Detection (OSID), can monitor the attenuation of optical beams and be installed below the ceiling to conform with the architectural features of a structure. These detectors can identify smoke particles over large, continuous areas, minimizing the need for numerous detection devices, wiring, and conduit. The latest generation is also designed to be easy to install and maintain, with superior reliability.
