Testing Your Aspirating Smoke Detection System Using a Smoke Pen

An aspirating smoke detector (ASD) or 'Sniffer Unit' is a system often used in fire protection. An ASD system consists of one central detection unit which will draw air through numerous pipes to detect carbon/smoke.

ASD units are capable of detecting smoke before it is visible to the naked eye and are significantly quicker than beam or point smoke detectors. This allows for faster response times when operating high-risk applications.

"The average speed of detection can be up to 30 times quicker than a conventional detection system." source
