Reflective Sound Monitoring (RSM)

Reflective Sound Monitoring or RSM is employed to monitor the audio output of sounders. The
technology allows the product to measure its sound output via a built in microphone. When
activated during a routine test, this sounder can report back if it is functioning - cutting out the
need for any human presence.

RSM is particularly beneficial during regular weekly sounder tests. The technology allows the system
to listen for audibility whenever the sounders are operated and the panel will alert the user if any
sounders fail to operate. Failure of a beacon would also generate a fault at the control panel.

Often regular testing of sounders is overlooked as the responsible person is not always able
to access an entire site to complete the test. For example in areas such as schools, hotels and
healthcare environments, access can be difficult and a test can involve having an onsite facilities
manager standing at each sounder to test it.

Without regular comprehensive checks, the integrity of the system can suffer.

Reflective Sound Monitoring is a true fail safe technology that eliminates any uncertainty. It can
provide a full, accurate status on the functionality of all sounders on the site and can be utilised
on most projects to the advantage of both the occupants and the building owner.

FC460PH Multi Sensor Detector  

- Combined optical and heat sensor smoke detector.
- Most flexible detector in FireClass range - can be adapted to provide protection to a range of

environments.
- Detects a wide range of fires including low smoke and low heat.
- Operates in various modes and sensitivities to heat and smoke.
- Modes can be fully controlled and programmed via the panel.
- Software can be configured into two device address points to allow the panel to treat the device

as two individual devices should the need arise.

The FC460PH is the most flexible detector in the FireClass range.   With its ability to detect a
wide range of fires, from a flaming to a smouldering fire, the combined optical and heat sensor
smoke detector is the preferred choice for a range of fire detection applications.  

These include businesses in the light industrial, retail and office environments.  The smoke
detector operates in a number of approved modes and sensitivities that can be dynamically
selected to suit different environmental conditions. Incorporating the FireClass digital detection
algorithms, a market leader providing fire security peace of mind for its users, the smoke detector
is fully approved, including EN54 AND CPD.  

The multi sensor has six general modes as along with several sensitivity settings. The panel can
switch between any two of these modes and sensitivities by method of day/night time points,
manual operation of the panel’s day/night button or also via device input. Alternatively the device
can be simply left in one mode permanently.

The six modes are:

1- High Performance Optical and 60°C Fixed Temp. (Default Mode)
2- High Performance Optical.
3- Standard Optical Smoke only  .                                                                                               
4- Heat Only – Rate of Rise.
5- Heat Only – 60°C Fixed Temp.
6- Standard Optical + 60°C Fixed Temp. (As well as Normal, Low and

High sensitivity settings for all optical based modes)
