What does a multi-criteria detector do?

A multi-criteria detector is designed to enhance fire detection by utilizing multiple sensing technologies to assess environmental conditions. It generates one alarm signal based on the analysis from these various inputs, effectively improving the reliability of fire detection. This capability allows the device to identify smoke, heat, and possibly gas presence, combining their information to determine whether an alarm should be triggered.

In contexts where certain detectors respond to only one specific type of indicator, the multi-criteria detector stands out by integrating multiple criteria for a more sophisticated response. This comprehensive approach reduces the likelihood of false alarms and increases the accuracy of fire detection in a range of scenarios, making it a vital component in fire safety systems.
