VKT-301 OSID Demonstration Kit

Vesda Xtralis VKT-301 OSID DE Demonstration Kit

The company that revolutionized very early warning smoke detection with VESDA has reinvented smoke detection for open spaces with Open-Area Smoke Imaging Detection (OSID).

OSID by Xtralis provides reliable, cost-effective smoke detection for open spaces where fire detection presents unique challenges and where very early warning is not always the priority.

OSID also combines dual wavelength (IR and UV) beams with CMOS imaging detection. This technology features high tolerance to vibration and structural movement and OSID differentiates better between smoke and environmental conditions than traditional beam detectors. OSID operates in both pitch dark as well as bright sunlight.

One Imager (receiver) can have up to 7 Emitters and provides easy 3D coverage for atria etc.

Fast and easy installation and commissioning is achieved through the flexible ball & socket arrangement and the use of the laser alignment tool. Trouble shooting is simple thanks to the on-board memory and the OSID Diagnostic SW package, both unique for this industry.

In its simplest configuration, OSID by Xtralis uses one imager, a camera-like device with a wide field of view, and a wired or battery-powered emitter roughly aligned on the opposite wall within the protected area. The emitter sends both infrared and ultraviolet coded light signals to the imager. If the light reception is altered due to the presence of genuine smoke particles, the imager will go into alarm. The novel use of dual light frequencies in an open-path device enables OSID to discriminate between real smoke and other objects, including insects, steam, condensation and dust, thus drastically reducing false alarms.
