Discovery® is a range of high-specification, analogue addressable fire detectors and alarm devices suitable for use in commercial, industrial, financial, government, IT/telecoms and healthcare applications.

The Discovery range is designed to meet specifications for detectors incorporated in sophisticated systems and provides engineers with an additional dimension in fire protection capability. The Discovery communications protocol is a development of the proven XP95 protocol, making both ranges of detector compatible.

Discovery detectors offer effective false alarm management by a combination of EN 54 approved operating modes and sophisticated algorithms. Drift compensation further reduces the likelihood of false alarms caused by a build-up of dust in the sensing chamber.

In addition to the familiar smoke and heat detectors, the Discovery range features two multisensor detectors. One is an optical/heat multisensor which can be used to protect against many types of fire risk. The other is a carbon monoxide/heat multisensor which protects against both smouldering fires and those generating heat.
