Delivering Advanced Smoke and Heat Detection with Dynamic Threat Response for Superior Fire Protection Solutions
St. Louis, MO— Potter Electric Signal Company announced today its new line of D-TECT Intelligent Conventional Sensors and Bases. Built with the same technology as Potter’s recently released D-TECT Intelligent Addressable Sensors and Bases, they were developed to better address nuisance alarms, improve ease of installation, and provide more efficient testing and maintenance.
Featuring Dynamic Threat Emergency Communication Technology, D-TECT sensors achieve adaptive response and reduce false alarms, while a patent-pending photo chamber accurately detects fire and rejects nuisance sources like cooking or dust. This technology intelligently acclimates over time to the surrounding environment, further reducing unwanted activation.
“The D-TECT series brings the best of intelligent fire detection technology, combining adaptive threat response with the simplicity and reliability Potter is known for,” said Abe Lizama, Product Manager for Potter Fire Safety. “With its dynamic response system and innovative features, D-TECT is set to redefine fire protection across various building applications.”
Key Features and Benefits:
- Dynamic Threat Response: Adaptive sensing technology reduces false alarms while ensuring accurate fire detection, even in challenging environments.
- Wide Coverage: Heat sensor provides up to 70ft of coverage, reducing the number of sensors required and lowering installation costs.
- UL 268 7th Edition Compliant: Ensures greater fire sensitivity while remaining immune to deceptive environmental factors.
- Backwards Compatibility: Fully compatible with previous Potter conventional devices, allowing seamless integration with existing systems.
- Low Profile & Easy Installation: Less than 2 inches of depth and compatible with common junction box styles for easy installation.
