Aspirating Smoke Detection Systems
Aspirating Smoke Detectors For Your Business
Fire detection is important for both the safety and security of your business and here at Sovereign Fire & Security, we are committed to providing reliable and innovative solutions to modern fire protection.
Aspirating smoke detection (ASD) is a system designed to detect smoke at the earliest possible stages. Aspirating smoke detection systems offer superior sensitivity and can monitor smoke levels at various areas in a building, signaling early on when a fire breaks out.
ASD is also commonly used as an alternative to point detection in difficult to access spaces such as high-level atria, lift shafts, ceiling voids etc etc. The units can be set up to provide the same level of detection sensitivity as a BS5839 Part 1 2017 point sensor so as not to provide false alarms in high sensitivity mode.
Using ASD also provides an advantage for ongoing maintenance as all serviceable elements are located at low level.
This effective fire detection method is more than just a standard smoke alarm, consistently testing the airflow, ensuring a heightened sense of protection, safeguarding your staff, customers, equipment and stock in your business premises.
We offer efficient and reliable aspirating smoke detection systems for your business and commercial premises. First established in 1996 we have years of experience within the fire and security industry, meaning we can provide you with a high-quality aspirating smoke detection system.
With trusted accreditations with the FIA (Fire Industry Association) and certified members of BAFE, UKAS, Construction Line and Safe Contractor approved, you can trust Sovereign Fire and Security.

What Is An Aspirating Smoke Detection System?
Aspirating smoke detection (ASD) is a highly advanced form of smoke detection technology that continuously samples air from the environment and analyzes it for the presence of smoke particles.
These systems use a network of small pipes and a fan unit that draws air from the protected area into a central detection unit. Within the unit, the air is analyzed for the presence of smoke particles, even at levels undetectable by traditional smoke detectors. This capability allows the system to detect fires at the very early stage, often before smoke becomes visible to the naked eye.
Unlike conventional point detectors or beam detectors, which rely on smoke reaching a specific threshold at a designated location, ASD systems are constantly monitoring for the smallest trace of smoke, making them ideal for areas where even a small delay could lead to significant property damage or business disruption.

The Role Of an Aspirating Smoke Detection Systems
At the heart of every aspirating smoke detection system is its central detection unit. The unit is responsible for sampling the air that is drawn into the system by a powerful fan unit and transported through a network of pipes. Once the air reaches the detection unit, advanced sensors analyze it for the presence of smoke particles.
ASD systems provide very early warning by detecting smoke during the pre-combustion stage of a fire, when the smoke particles are not yet visible or have only just begun to form. If smoke is detected, the system can trigger alarms, notify building occupants and even activate fire suppression systems to mitigate the threat.
Because of their ability to detect smoke in the very early stage, aspirating smoke detectors can reduce the likelihood of significant fire-related damage and provide building occupants with additional time for a safe and orderly evacuation.
Sovereign Fire & Security has extensive experience installing and maintaining these aspirating smoke detector detection systems, ensuring businesses benefit from the earliest possible warning of an impending fire hazard.

Why Does Your Business Need An Aspirating Smoke Detection System?
Aspirating smoke detectors offer a lot of different advantages that help enhance the safety and operational efficiency of your business.
Some of the advantages of installing an ASD system over an average smoke detector include:
- Early Fire Detection: ASD systems detect fires at the pre-combustion stage, offering an earlier alert compared to traditional systems. This allows for quicker intervention and reduces the risk of a full-scale fire developing.
- Continuous Monitoring: They provide continuous air sampling, ensuring constant monitoring of smoke levels within the protected area.
- Adaptability to Extreme Environments: ASD systems are effective in environments with fluctuating conditions, such as factories or outdoor areas with temperature variations, where traditional detectors may struggle.
- Reduction of False Alarms: ASD systems minimize false alarms by filtering out non-combustion particles and focusing only on actual smoke, preventing costly and disruptive evacuations.
- Enhanced Reliability: The ability to detect real fire threats without mistaking normal environmental changes for hazards offers a more reliable fire detection solution.
