S-QUAD SELF-TEST
(S4T) SERIES
S-Quad's market leading technology advances even further with our
Self-Test series of detectors (S4T). The S4T device is a brand-new
design which incorporates all the great S-Quad features and more.
The device has a new IP21 external moulding, new detector chamber design and
a dual microprocessor PCB. This design delivers even better smoke detection and
voice storage capacity. In addition, the award-winning Self-Test feature allows both
the heat and optical sensors within the device to be tested using the CLSS App.
The Self-Test patented design performs real sensor tests by heating the heat sensing thermistor
and generating real aerosol (smoke) to test the optical sensor. The small fan within the device
gently blows the aerosol from the detection chamber, through the detector's smoke entry points,
into the room. This method simulates a more realistic fire test than many traditional testing
methods, ensuring that the smoke entry points are not blocked and able to detect a real fire.
Each device also incorporates Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). When activated, BLE acts like a
beacon in each detector that can be automatically detected by a mobile device using the CLSS
App. This has many helpful features such as finding a device automatically, ensuring the device
details are correct and proving that an engineer has been within the visual inspection range.
KEY SELF-TEST & CLSS FEATURES
•
Available in a large range of multi-sensor, Part-23 VAD and
sounder/ voice options.
•
Enables discrete functional testing and visual inspection
of the fire alarm system by reducing the engineer toolset to
just a mobile device (phone or tablet). No more impact on
building occupiers.
•
Tests both the heat and smoke sensors by heating the
thermistor and introducing small amounts of smoke into
the detection chamber.
•
Gently blows the smoke out of the detection chamber and
smoke entry points to ensure they are not blocked.
•
Flexible testing options allow the engineer to test in
different ways – single device, detection zone, loop(s),
panel(s).
•
Allows up to 6 devices to be tested at once per loop and any
number of loops can be tested simultaneously, making the
functional testing incredibly fast.
6
•
Device testing is fast enough to allow up to 4 functional
tests to be performed per year for the lifespan of the device.
•
Eliminates all access issues when detector testing,
ensuring 100% functional testing is achieved.
•
Allows the system to remain active whilst testing as each
detector is only offline for 60 seconds and outputs are not
generated.
•
Any fires detected outside of the devices performing Self-
Test will stop the Self-Test process and operate the fire
systems' Cause & Effect.
•
Allows the engineer to easily locate the detector using
the App and BLE to check the device number, label, zone
description and detector type.
•
Allows simple device updates to be performed through the
App, including the correction of inaccurate device labels
and loop mapping.
•
The app and BLE handshake verifies that the engineer has
been within visual inspection range.
•
Optional Inspection prompt LEDs on the device let the
engineer know what Self-Test devices need to be visually
inspected and will automatically turn off when the visual
inspection is complete.
•
Engineers can spend more time digitally capturing non-
compliance issues and advising how to resolve them. This
includes any issues causing false alarms.
•
Test Fire LED option in the App allows the fire LED to be
tested (a pending BS5839-1 testing requirement). This
feature can additionally confirm that they are inspecting the
correct device.
•
The CLSS App allows the engineer to simulate a fire and
test the Cause & Effect logic.
•
The CLSS App also allows the Cause & Effect to be
triggered through a successful Self-Test operation, allowing
a witness test to be performed using real smoke.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
•
Self-Test features compatible with Vigilon and Compact
Plus panels only..
•
Backwards compatible as a detector and AV device only.
•
MCB / MCC and loop cards will require firmware upgrades
to operate Self-Test and BLE features.
•
Only supported on current EN54 loop cards (not legacy
loop cards).
•
Requires a CLSS gateway (1 per network domain).
•
Requires the CLSS mobile app.
REPORTING AND MONITORING
•
A full compliance report can be generated on completion of
the testing.
•
The number of Self-Test's consumed per device is captured
through CLSS, enabling a quick check of usage.
•
Reports identify how devices have been tested – manually
or through Self-Test.
•
Reports identify how the device was visually inspected, with
or without BLE.
•
Any corrective actions are also captured in the reports.
