Enhance the performance and reliability of your products with innovative equipment protection
Providing a wider window of opportunity
All fires have four stages: Incipient (pre-combustion), Visible Smoke, Flaming Fire, and Intense Heat. It is important to detect fire in the earliest stage, thus "buying time" to control the spread of fire. The importance of time is demonstrated in this diagram depicting the progression of fire growth over time.

The incipient stage of a fire provides the widest window of opportunity to detect and control the spread of fire.
A VESDA OEM product, built into your product, can be configured to generate both an "Alert" and "Pre-Alarm" within the incipient stage. Thus, providing the time needed to help minimize or prevent fire loss. VESDA OEM products can also be configured to generate a Fire alarm within any of the three remaining stages.
