AN INITIATING SOLUTION FOR EVERY APPLICATION
Whether you're in need of a conventional system, advanced aspirating solutions, or you're ready to migrate to our intelligent Signature Series, Edwards has a full line of initiating options that will help maximize your investment while protecting people and property.
INTELLIGENT DETECTION FOR SAFER FACILITIES
Bring your facility into the future with some of the most advanced intelligent initiation options on the market.
Signature Optica™ Smoke Detectors
Engineered to make detection simple, cost-effective, and reliable, Signature Optica detectors are the first detection appliances that can differentiate between nuisance particles and serious threats. Thanks to their patented optical sensing technology, Optica detectors reduce false alarms and are already compliant with UL 268, 7th edition standards. Thanks to Optica detectors, you can start specifying a smarter solution today.
Signature Optica™ Smoke and Heat Detectors
For applications that don't require carbon monoxide detection, Signature Series devices are capable of sensing smoke and heat in a single unit. Featuring patented optical sensing technology, Signature Series detectors, including our industry-leading Signature Optica, are capable of differentiating between nuisance particles and serious threats, resulting in far fewer false alarms than ever before.
Signature Optica™ Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
This detector pulls double duty, monitoring the environment for signs of fire and carbon monoxide around the clock. By analyzing the smoke sensor independently from the CO sensor, it determines whether to initiate a fire alarm, a life safety CO alarm, or both.
Signature Optica™ Smoke, Heat, and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Signature Series detectors, including patented Signature Optica detectora, are capable of sensing smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide in a single unit. Maximize your investment while minimizing your cost of ownership thanks to proprietary indirect photoelectric sensing that reduces the overall number of devices your facility relies upon and meets the expectations of the upcoming UL 268, 7th edition standard changes.
Signature Optica™ Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
The Signature Series of intelligent, multisensor detectors contain next-generation detection technology that integrates rate-of-rise heat-sensing capabilities to provide protection that exceeds standards and codes. Simplify your facility's safety system with Signature Series detectors that utilize existing wiring, field-selectable options, and make use of on-board microprocessors to minimize nuisance alarms while pinpointing serious threats.
INTERFACES AND ACCESSORIES
Optimize your Signature Series investment with high-quality interfaces and accessories to help you specify the smartest system possible.
Intelligent Input & Output Modules
Intelligent analog addressable devices form part of the Signature line, operating based on a “personality code” selected by the installer, which is downloaded to the module from the Signature loop controller during system configuration.
Pull Stations
Manual pull stations in the Signature Series come in single-action, featuring our familiar tear-drop design, and double-action formats. These intelligent devices include integral microprocessors to improve communication speed and improve control panel response time and are equipped with cost-saving wiring advances that eliminate the need for twisted or shielded wire.
Specialized
The Releasing Module communicates directly with the fire alarm panel Signature loop controller. This module controls sprinkler, pre-action and deluge systems, and may also be used to release extinguishing agents such as CO2, Halon, or foam. It's easily configured in the field and offers a wide range of options that ensure dependable service, all while preventing the unnecessary release of extinguishing agent.
POWERFUL PROTECTION FOR EVERY APPLICATION
Conventional initiation devices from Edwards are your frontline protection against fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide.
2-Wire Smoke Detector
Achieve powerful protection thanks to a conventional Optica detector that has been engineered specifically for use with less complicated fire and life safety systems.
