Smart Detection for Safer Facilities

Compliance

By June 2021, all new system-connected smoke detectors must pass new UL 268 7th edition standards.The Optica detector is early compliant, thanks to its patented multi-criteria optical smoke sensing technology. Read the whitepaper now.

Differentiation

Only the Optica detector uses our patented optical sensor to differentiate between nuisance particles like cooking smoke, dust or steam, and serious hazards, only reacting to those that pose a threat. The result is a drastic reduction in nuisance alarms.

Detection

In addition to the state-of-the art multi-criteria optical sensor, the Optica detector also has models that include heat and CO sensing to cover a full range of detection applications, which means you can specify a smarter system.
