About Edwards Detectors Siga Oshd
The Signature Optica Series SIGA-OSHD smoke detector
brings advanced optical sensing technology to a practical
design that increases efficiency, saves installation time,
cuts costs, and extends life safety and property protection
capabilities. Continuous self-diagnostics ensure reliability
over the long-haul, while environmental compensation helps
reduce maintenance costs.
The SIGA-OSHD provides an optical smoke sensor and a
rate-of-rise heat sensor with a fixed temperature setting.
Together these sensors efficiently detect smoldering fires,
as well as fast flaming fires.
Like all Signature Optica Series detectors, the SIGA-OSHD is an
intelligent device that gathers analog information from multiple
optical sensors, converting this data into digital signals. Utilizing
dual optical wavelengths combined with multiple detection angles,
the SIGA-OSHD differentiates particles that are not representative
of actual smoke. Particle data is input into digital filters which
feed a series of ratios removing signal patterns that are typical of
nuisance sources, thus reducing unwanted alarms. To make an
alarm decision, the detectors on-board microprocessor measures
and analyzes all optical sensor readings and compares this
information to preprogrammed settings.
Intelligent Smoke and Heat DetectionHarnessing advanced photoelectric and fixed-temperature technologies, the SIGA OSHD ensures rapid and accurate identification of both smoke and heat anomalies. Its built-in digital addressable system enhances building safety through precise detector location and status reporting, minimizing downtime and false alarms.
Reliable Performance and Standards ComplianceManufactured for demanding environments, this detector maintains sensitivity with automatic drift compensation, provides maintenance alerts, and continuously tests itself for faults. Fully compliant with UL 268, ULC S529, CSFM, and MEA listings, it offers peace of mind in adherence to rigorous fire protection standards.
Versatile Application and InstallationCompatible with SIGA series bases, the SIGA OSHD accommodates ceiling or wall mounting on a surface. Its robust design, adaptability, and high IP42 ingress protection make it suitable for diverse commercial, industrial, or institutional settings, with dependable operation even in challenging environments.
