BOSCH FAP-425-O Optical Smoke Detector

BOSCH FAP-425-O Optical Smoke Detector

The BOSCH FAP-425-O Optical Smoke Detector is designed for early and reliable smoke detection in fire safety systems and features Intelligent Signal Processing (ISP) technology. Its seamless integration with fire alarm control panel systems makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly in commercial and industrial buildings.

Technical Specifications

• Detection Principle: Using an advanced optical detection method based on the scattered-light principle, it quickly detects even the slightest smoke. This enables an early response in the event of a potential fire.
• Intelligent Signal Processing (ISP): Bosch's patented ISP technology enables the detector to monitor electromagnetic effects in its environment and perform rapid root-cause analysis. This minimises false alarms while providing high sensitivity in the event of a real fire.
• Fire Alarm Control Panel Integration: The FAP-425-O is fully compatible with Bosch's own fire alarm control panel models, including the FPA-5000 and AVENAR panel 2000/8000 series. This integration enables centralised system management and the transmission of detailed information in the event of an alarm. Automatic and manual addressing options make it easy to add the detector to a fire alarm control panel system.
• Addressability: The detector can be easily identified on the fire alarm control panel using automatic or manual addressing. This feature simplifies installation and maintenance in large and complex fire detection systems.
• Operating Voltage: The wide operating voltage range of 15 – 33 VDC ensures compatibility with different fire alarm control panel infrastructures.
• Low Current Consumption: With an average current consumption of 0.55 mA, it offers an energy-efficient solution.
• Durable Design: Made from high-quality plastic, it has an IP40 protection rating. Its dust-resistant labyrinth design offers long service life and low maintenance requirements.
• Visual Alarm Indicator: The central LED indicator, visible at 360°, flashes red during an alarm for easy identification. Connection to an external indicator is also possible.
• Easy Installation and Maintenance: Its ceiling-mounted design and a dedicated cleaning tool that makes it easy to clean the optical chamber simplify maintenance.
