In the past the best way to detect fire in electrical cabinets is aspirating smoke detection system. In this way, air samples of all protected cabinets are drawn back to a central detection unit using an aspirator and sampling pipe network connected to each cabinet to monitor if there’s any presence of smoke in the cabinet. Although it can detect fire in a relative early stage but the shortage is it can’t identify which cabinet is in fire. The user needs to open the cabinet one by one to search the origin of the fire.

Imagine a detection system having 60 cabinets protected by one aspirating smoke detector. When there’s alarm, the user faces rows of enclosed high voltage electrical cabinets and he needs to open and check every cabinet to find out the location of a fire. The alarm continues and the clock is ticking, the risk of explosion… how tremendous pressure is the user faced.

Now the innovative CSD cabinet smoke detector introduced by AVA PREVENT has miniature size that is especially designed for single cabinet aspirating smoke detection. The CSD cabinet smoke detector integrates aspirator, high sensitivity smoke detector, display/control/program panel, relays and network interface all together in a miniature size. It can be installed on every cabinet to detect and identify the detection and alarm status so the user will not have to perform search in a dangerous electrical fire. The CSD is a perfect solution to cabinet fire detection.
