Chemetron control panels and detection devices feature automatic and manual programming, systems status monitoring, and other advances for detection and release. There are three main categories for alarm systems: addressable, conventional and special detection.

Addressable Systems

Addressable systems, also called "intelligent" systems, enable each and every initiating device to have an individual address, or zone identifier.  This is most beneficial when servicing a system.  If a detector is faulty, the technician knows exactly which device is at fault.  The addressable devices all connect to a single loop that runs through the premises.  For more information click:

• MICRO 200-I/200-IE, compact, cost effective, intelligent
  fire alarm control panel 
• MICRO 320-I, stand-alone panel for small to medium
  systems that meets virtually every application requirement 
  
• MICRO 640-I, fire alarm control panel designed with
  modularity and for ease of system planning

Conventional Systems

Conventional systems are set with a certain number of zones that are hardwired to the control panel or zone expander.  Smoke detectors must be run on a separate zone from pull stations, etc.  There may be a dozen detectors in a single zone and if on is faulty, the technician is tasked with finding it.  More cable is required because instead of having multiple devices wired into the same loop, a separate cable run for each type of device is required for these conventional systems.  For more information click:

• MICRO 1011, six zone conventional control panel for single
  and dual hazard deluge and preaction applications - ideal for
  applications requiring water-based releasing
• MICRO 1012, six zone conventional control panel for single
  and dual hazard agent releasing applications - ideal for
  applications requiring agent-based releasing
• MICRO 1EV, simple, economical yet feature rich panel
  delivering control capability for both basic and complex
  hazard protection - wide range of options for automatic
  and manual operation, system status reporting and post
  operation feedback, plus advances in dependability
  

Special Detection Systems  

CLASS High Sensitivity Smoke Detector consists of a laser particle counter detector head, a high effeciency fan module and a termination board. One CLASS Detector, when connected to a pipe network designed using "Spec" software, provides coverage for an area up to 20,000 sq. ft. The CLASS Detector (with a dynamic sensitivity range of  0.00075% to 0.3%/FT) is designed for early warning smoke detection applications such as telecommunications facilities, data processing facilities, museums, and warehouses.
