The key benefits of HPLS (High Power Light Source), the most advanced detection technology

• excellent light spectrum for fire detection
• up to 2,000 times more sensitive than traditional smoke detectors
• up to 0.002% obscuration per meter for clean rooms
• decisive advantage: Large temperature range from –40ºC to +60ºC

Technology Evolution Steps – Achievable sensitivity

• Year 1980: LED 3 – 0.3% obscuration/m
• Year 1983: Xenon lamp 0.01% obscuration/m
• Year 1990: Laser 0.005% obscuration/m
• Year 2000: HPLS <0.001% obscuration/m
• Responding behavior at different fires according to EN 54
