How an optical sensor of smoke detector system works ?

Today, I was testing a fire alarm system in a solvent godown where I didn't want to lit a fire to create smoke, so godown owner told me to use dry ice to produce smoke. I also thought that being optical it would work, where as it didn't. At last...


The sensor sees reflections off the smoke particles. The problem with the dry ice is that the "smoke" is water vapor and by the time it is in the detector - if it doesn't condense out on the hardware or re-vaporize, the particles are too small and probably reflect rather than scatter...

What is the difference between Ionization or Optical smoke detectors?



The other answers all have some elements of truth.

Ionization-type smoke detectors utilize a radioactive source to establish a current between two electrodes. Smoke particles (and some other things) interfere with ion mobility, and reduce the current. At some level, the detector...

Excelitas Displays Detection and Sensing Solutions at Sensor + Test 2011

By Andy Choi

Global provider of customized optoelectronics to OEMs, Excelitas Technologies, will showcase its portfolio of detection products at the Sensor + Test 2011 in Nuremberg, Germany.

The company will display its complete range of infrared sensing Pyroelectric detectors designed for motion sensing and Thermopile detectors for measuring temperature. The DigiPyro Family of detectors for digital motion sensing and the new DigiPile Family of Digital Thermopiles for non-contact measurement of temperature, pyrometry and thermometry will also to be displayed.

A range of SPCMs as well as the APDs for Life Sciences and Research, part of the Low Light Level Detection suite of offerings, will be displayed at the event. Other photo detection offerings such as infrared LEDs, photodiodes, pulsed laser diodes, photodiode arrays, optical assemblies for smoke detection and APDs for laser range and laser meter finding will also be displayed at the show.

Excelitas’ products will be showcased at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre in Nuremberg, Germany from June 7 to 9, 2011.

Optical Smoke Alarms Vs Ionisation Smoke Alarms - Home & Family

The safety of your home or workplace is of paramount importance. Smoke alarms were invented to warn you if a fire breaks out, but which do you choose – optical smoke alarms or ionisation smoke detectors? In this article we will explore the differences.

The Optical Smoke Alarm

This type of smoke alarm uses light technology to detect smoke. Inside of these alarms, there is a small light emitting diode or LED. This little light shines a thin beam of infrared light to a sensor. If any small particles of smoke interrupt this infrared light the voltage read by the sensor will drop and the alarm will sound. This type of smoke alarm is best where the threat of smoldering, thicker smoke is present....
