Product Overview
A smoke detector senses smoke particles in the air and sends a signal to the fire alarm system when it detects a possible fire. This early alert helps start evacuation and fire response before flames spread. We offer optical (photoelectric) detectors that are very good at spotting slow, smouldering fires, and ionisation detectors that react quickly to fast‑flaming fires. Our range includes conventional and addressable models suitable for offices, malls, factories, warehouses, hotels, and residential buildings in Saudi Arabia.
Key Features
- Designed for use in corridors, office areas, hotel rooms, apartments, meeting rooms, and many industrial spaces.
- Optical (photoelectric) models respond well to smouldering fires with more visible smoke.
- Ionisation models respond quickly to fast‑flaming fires with smaller smoke particles.
- Available as conventional or addressable detectors for modern fire alarm systems.
- Easy to install on ceilings or high on walls, with compatible bases and wiring options.
- LED indicators show normal operation and alarm status for quick visual checks.
Benefits
- Gives early warning so occupants can evacuate before smoke and heat become life‑threatening.
- Helps reduce fire damage to buildings, equipment, and stock by speeding up response.
- Supports compliance with fire safety codes and Civil Defence–aligned requirements in Saudi Arabia.
- Works with fire alarm panels, bells, sounders, and strobes as part of a complete alarm system.
- Low ongoing maintenance when tested and cleaned on a regular schedule.

Usage Instructions
End users do not “use” smoke detectors directly, but they should understand how to live safely with them.
- Install smoke detectors on the ceiling or high on the wall, following the manufacturer’s instructions and system design.
- Place detectors in key areas such as bedrooms, corridors, offices, and on every floor, as required by local rules and your fire consultant.
- Test the system regularly, usually monthly, to confirm detectors and alarms are working.
- Do not cover, paint, or block smoke detectors, as this can stop them from sensing smoke.
- In homes, never remove the detector or its battery just because it sounds during cooking; instead, improve ventilation or move the detector slightly if advised.
- If a smoke detector goes into an alarm, follow your site fire procedure and evacuate if you suspect a real fire.
