Aspirating Smoke Detection
Safeguarding your spaces with early & reliable smoke detection
- Highly Sensitive
- Robust and Temperature Resistant
- Highest False Alarm Immunity
- Improved Reliability
- Robust and Temperature Resistant
What is Aspiration/Air Sampling 
Smoke Detection (ASD)?
Air samples taken from monitored area using a pipe system with defined aspiration apertures and supplied to detection chamber.
Pipe system – 25mm OD smooth bore pipe with at least 2mm wall thickness – Plastic or Metal as per application
What is Aspiration/Air Sampling 
Smoke Detection (ASD)?
- Active Smoke Detection
- Highly Sensitive – Detection of fire in initial stage
- Best immunity against false alarms & nuisance alarms
- Asset & Personnel safety
- Robust & Reliance – Effective detection even in challenging environments
- Easy to maintain
- Improved Aesthetics
- Modular – cost effective customized solution as per customer & application requirements
Applications of Titanus ASD
- Critical rooms (Server room, MSC room, Network room, Hub room, control room, Electrical/UPS/Battery rooms, transformer rooms, archives, prison cells and many more)
- High airflow applications (Data Center, Clean Room, Semiconductor manufacturing etc.)
- High ceiling applications (warehouses, atrium, concourse, auditorium, production/manufacturing areas etc.)
- Applications with high dust levels & other tough ambient conditions (waste recycling plants, textile manufacturing, tobacco storage, freezers, sauna etc.).
- Applications where maintenance is cumbersome (Shafts, below false floor, above false ceiling, equipment racks, conveyer belts etc.)
- Applications where large public gathering is expected (Hospitals, Cinema Halls, Airports, Stadiums etc.)
- Applications demanding aesthetics to be preserved (Museums, Cathedrals, Exhibition Centers & other historical structures)
- Object Protection like server racks, electrical cabinets

TITANUS® ASD – Fire Alarm, BMS Integration & Cross Zoning Detection Technology
General information
- Optimal light source technology using High-Power Light
Source (HPLS) : balanced detection of smouldering and
open fires
- Scattered light principle
- Detection chamber, specially developed by
WAGNER against dust deposits
- Detection optics not directly exposed to sample air
- Reliable detection technology
for normal up to highest sensitivity
Detection using High-Power 
Light Source (HPLS)
General information
- Main alarm sensitivity as sensitive as 0.015% obs/m
- Response sensitivity as sensitive as 0.0015% obs/m
- High efficiency (approx. 80%) i.e. high luminous efficacy, low power consumption, low heat generation
- Wide temperature range from −40 to +60 °C
- Robust and durable
Fire Pattern Analytics
LOGIC·SENS®
- Distinguishes between false alarm situations
and fire scenarios
- Approved operation mode to avoid false alarms
according to VDE 0833-2
- The only fire pattern detection for aspirating smoke
detectors on the market
Fire Pattern Detection Airflow monitoring
PIPE·GUARD: the safety package
- Patented airflow monitoring
- Microprocessor-controlled temperature compensation
- Automatic airflow initialization at the push of a button
- Air pressure-dependent airflow adjustment
for maximum safety against airflow disturbances
- Detection of changes in the pipeline: sabotage, blockage, pipe crushes, pipe burst
- … adjustable up to +/− 10% airflow change
and/or single sampling point monitoring
Why ASD?
Beyond the boundaries of other technologies
- Point-type smoke detectors: Smoke must enter the measuring chamber by convection. It is not sufficient that the smoke reaches the detector. Aspirating smoke detectors: Smoke is actively aspirated. Particularly problematic: Heat cushions under the ceiling make it difficult / prevent the smoke from reaching the point-type smoke detector.
Multiplied sensitivity thanks 
to the cumulative effect
- Point-type smoke detectors: Technological effort must be expended in each individual detector.
- Aspirating smoke detectors: High technological effort possible at a central location (e.g., fire pattern detection, high sensitivity).
- Additional advantage: cumulative effect
- Multiply sensitivity with each individual sampling point through which smoke is aspirated.
Time saving due to earliest 
possible fire detection
