Patent number: 11847898Abstract: A fire detection system (10) includes a plurality of smoke detectors (14) positioned for detection of smoke within one or more smoke detection volumes (12a, 12b). The fire detection system (10) is configured to monitor occupancy of the smoke detection volumes (12a, 12b) or to receive data indicative of occupancy of the smoke detection volumes (12a, 12b), for example from an intrusion detection system (20). The fire detection system (10) is configured to adjust a smoke sensitivity associated with each of the smoke detectors (14) based on the occupancy of the respective smoke detection volume (12a, 12b), with the smoke sensitivity being decreased when the respective smoke detection volume (12a, 12b) is occupied.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: CARRIER CORPORATIONInventors: Jordi Escofet Via, Andrés Córdoba Galera, Ramon De La Torre, Jairo Muñoz Rodríguez

Publication number: 20130021155Abstract: A detection circuit for use in detecting hazardous conditions includes a first conductor (142) and a second conductor (144). The first conductor and the second conductor couple at least one initiating device (138) to a detection control panel (104) configured to detect hazardous conditions. A voltage-stabilizing device (140) is configured to stabilize a voltage between the first conductor and the second conductor. A method of assembling a detection system includes coupling a first conductor and a second conductor to at least one initiating device to form a detection circuit, and coupling a voltage-stabilizing device to the first conductor and the second conductor, wherein the voltage-stabilizing device is configured to stabilize a voltage between the first conductor and the second conductor. The first conductor and the second conductor are coupled to a detection control panel configured to detect a hazardous condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2010Publication date: January 24, 2013Applicant: UTC FIRE & SECURITY AMERICAS CORPORATION,INC.Inventors: Miguel Angel Perez Gandara, Jairo Munoz Rodriguez
