Smoke, flame and aspirating smoke detection.
Optical smoke, multi-spectrum flame, and Class-A aspirating smoke detection (VESDA) for the full range of fire risks. Designed to NFPA 72 and EN 54.
The right detector for the risk
Different risks need different detectors. Open-area smoke detection works for offices and corridors; aspirating smoke (VESDA) covers high-airflow data halls; flame detectors guard hydrocarbon risks; specialty heat detectors handle harsh kitchens and engine rooms. Hawk Marine specifies, supplies and commissions the right mix.
Aspirating smoke (VESDA)
Class A sensitivity for white-space data centres and high-airflow protected volumes.
Multi-spectrum flame
UV / IR / triple-IR flame detectors with line-of-sight modelling for hydrocarbon risk.
Addressable smoke & heat
Photoelectric, ionisation, dual-criteria and rate-of-rise heat — all addressable.
