BOSCH FAP-425-O-R Optical Smoke Detector

BOSCH FAP-425-O-R Optical Smoke Detector: Advanced Detection Integrated with Bosch Fire Panels

The BOSCH FAP-425-O-R Optical Smoke Detector is a high-performance optical smoke detector developed for fire safety systems, with manual and automatic addressing. Its seamless integration with Bosch fire panel systems makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly in commercial and industrial buildings.

Technical Specifications

• Detection Technology: The detector is equipped with advanced optical sensors that use the scattered-light principle. This enables it to quickly detect even the slightest smoke, allowing an early response in the event of a potential fire.
• Intelligent Signal Processing (ISP): Bosch's proprietary ISP technology enables the detector to monitor environmental factors such as dust and vapour, minimising false alarms while responding with high sensitivity to genuine fire events.
• Bosch Fire Panel Compatibility: The FAP-425-O-R is fully compatible with Bosch fire panel models, including the FPA-5000 and AVENAR panel 2000/8000 series. This integration enables centralised system management and facilitates the transmission of detailed information in the event of an alarm.
• Addressability: The FAP-425-O-R supports both automatic and manual addressing, simplifying installation and maintenance in large and complex fire detection systems. This feature enables devices on the Bosch fire panel to be identified quickly.
• Operating Voltage and Current Consumption: It has a wide operating voltage range of 15 – 33 VDC and an average current consumption of less than 0.55 mA. This enables energy-efficient operation.
• Durable Design: Made from robust plastic, the detector has an IP40 protection rating. Its labyrinth design prevents dust ingress, helping to ensure long service life and low maintenance requirements.
• Visual Alarm Indicator: The integrated LED indicator, visible at 360°, flashes red during an alarm so that the status can be identified quickly. Connection to an external indicator is also possible.
• Easy Installation and Maintenance: Its design allows it to be easily mounted on the ceiling, and the optical chamber can be easily cleaned using a special cleaning device, making maintenance straightforward.
