Notifier NFSTI-OPT Self-Test Optical Smoke Detector With Isolator

Notifier’s range of addressable detectors has just been improved with Europe’s first Self-Test series of detectors, which fully automate detector testing by introducing real smoke and heat into the detector.

The patented Self-Test design performs real sensor tests by safely heating the thermistor and also by generating real smoke to test the optical sensor. The small fan within the device blows the aerosol from the detection chamber, through the detector’s smoke entry points to prove they are free from any blockages.

Each device also incorporates a Bluetooth Low Energy Transmitter (BLE). The BLE transmitter acts as a beacon within each detector and can be automatically picked by the Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) app. This beacon allows the test engineer to view all the devices within visual inspection range along with the associated device information. They can then confirm that they have completed the visual inspection to full compliance through a simple swipe on the CLSS app.

All the new benefits of Self-Test are delivered while maintaining full electrical and mechanical backwards compatibility with the previous detector base and, after you have installed the new Notifier INSPIRE panel, you can upgrade to this exciting new technology.

Detector features:

Available in 3 different variants:

• Notifier NFSTI-OPT: optical isolated
• Notifier NFSTI-SMT2 multi-criteria, optical-thermal isolated
• Notifier NFSTI-THE thermal programmable (fixed heat or rate-of-rise), isolated

Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide a local 360° visible indication

Remote LED indicator capability is available as an optional accessory wired to the standard base terminals, dependent on panel

The NFSTI sensor includes an isolator that can be selected or deselected according to the wiring

Rotary switches for address selection: from 01 to 159 (exact number depends on panel capability)

Tamper resistance to prevent device removal form the base without a tool

Controllable both in AP and CLIP protocol (Self-Test mode requires AP)

Color: Pure white
