Overview

Early and reliable fire detection in tunnels

The VISIC50SF smoke detector offers high-speed measurement to ensure fast and reliable smoke detection when tunnel fires occur. The VISIC50SF is very easy to mount, operate, and maintain. There is no need for alignment or parameter setting – measuring starts right away. With its IP6K9K enclosure rating, not only is the VISIC50SF able to withstand the harsh ambient conditions inside the tunnel, but also tunnel washing operations without any problems. During the design phase, particular importance was placed on ensuring reliable operation and long maintenance intervals. That is why there are no moving parts. There is an optional version available with heating for fog evaporation. This allows the VISIC50SF to effortlessly meet your desired requirements, making it the perfect solution for the fast and reliable detection of fires.
