The ICAM ILQ Aspirating Smoke Detector is a practical solution for small area applications. Suitable for both high and normal sensitivity applications, its stand-alone functionality, out-of-the-box operation and simplified pipe network give the ICAM ILQ multiple advantages when it comes to installation.
About the ICAM ILQ Aspirating Smoke Detector
ILQ detectors use a sampling network of up to two 6m linear or 9m branched pipe lengths. The ILQ uses two fans to actively draw air from the protected area via two or four sampling holes (one or two on each pipe). The air is then filtered before entering the detection chamber to keep the chamber as clean as possible.
A laser is used within the detection chamber along with a photoelectric receiver. When smoke particles cause the light from the laser to scatter the unit reports an alarm condition (pre-alarm and fire alarm) triggering the corresponding display LEDs and dry contact relays.
Configuration
Set up and configuration can be carried out using DIP switches and a USB interface is also available for the Xtralis QSC Configuration and Fire System Management Software application. The additional AutoLearn™ feature assesses environmental conditions to automatically set suitable smoke alarm thresholds.
Applications
ILQ aspirating smoke detectors are suitable for a wide range of small applications and can cover an area up to 100m2 (1,000ft2). Typical applications include, but are not limited, to:

Approvals
The ICAM ILQ Aspirating Smoke Detector is approved by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) thus ensuring its effective performance. ILQ detectors also carry the CE mark, showing that it meets the requirements of EC directives, and is approved to BS EN 54-20. ILQ detectors are also rated to IP30.
To summarise, the ICAM ILQ is a cost effective aspirating smoke detector suitable for protecting small areas up to 100m2 and has many key features:
