HELIOS AMX5000 aspirating smoke detectors detect even minute smoldering fires and can be used almost anywhere. They actively draw air samples from the protection zone and analyze them in a measuring chamber. In addition to a pre-signal and contamination assessment, the detector also offers the possibility of adjusting the sensitivity in accordance with the unit's general use. Minimax aspirating smoke detectors are multifunctional detectors that respond to various fire characteristics through combined measuring chamber systems. Thus, fires are already detected at an early stage.
HELIOS AMX5000 aspirating smoke detector series:
- Auto-learning function.
- Separate air stream monitoring with one or two suction lines.
- Adjustable sensitivity from 0.002–10%/m.
- Excellent suction power (more than 400 Pa negative pressure).
- Highly sensitive smoke detectors with contamination balance for use in critical areas.
- The VdS-tested HELIOS PipeCalc calculation software ensures efficient, asymmetrical pipe installation.
- Can be completely integrated with the Minimax FMZ 5000 fire alarm system.
- Simple configuration and start-up of standard devices using HELIOS EasyConfig.
Design and function
The HELIOS AMX5000 aspirating smoke detector consists of one or two independent suction lines with suction opening and one highly sensitive smoke sensor. Each suction line is constantly monitored via an air stream monitoring system in order to identify pipe breaks and dirt at the suction opening. A high-power fan sucks air from the area or device to be monitored through the suction line to an evaluation unit. Here, the air is constantly evaluated by the smoke sensors.
