Applications:• Road and railway tunnels• Cable routes, bus ducts, and data centers• Storage and warehouse facilities includingconveyor systems

• Nuclear and other special hazard facilities• Commercial Buildings and Parking Garage

Features:• Cost-effective gathering of thousands ofmeasurements over long distances with asingle fiber optic sensing cable

• Pinpoints exact location, size, and spread offire events

• Installs and integrates easily into fire management systems• Eliminates need for maintenance or individual calibration for each sensing point• Intrinsically safe and immune to electromagnetic noise (EMI), dirt, dust and humidity• Eliminates requirement for separate power and communication cabling• Customizable packaging techniques for harsh environments• Allows stand-alone operationMarmon Engineered Solutions’ FOSS lets you configure the appropriate alarm criteria inhundreds of zones along the same sensor cable to prevent false alarms or false positives inenvironments with dynamic temperature ranges. Software can also be programmed to interact withsurveillance and suppression systems to ensure an accurate and effective response.

Marmon Engineered Solutions’ FOSS for Fire Detection, using Distributed Temperature Sensing(DTS), minimizes total installation and operational costs while maximizing reliability for asset pro-tection in areas with extreme environmental conditions and high safety risks.

Alarm Types: - Max/Min. - Temp Average - Temp Differential - Temp Gradient/Increase
