New Electronic Technology makes possible a smoke detection system which is superior to most systems in use today. Significant advantages are identified in simplified installation requirements, superior system testing, better supervision of interconnection wiring and detectors, and improved system performance. The Smart Detection System, as described, is based on smoke detectors that communicate individually with a computer-based central control panel. Each detector sends, on command, an analog measurement of the smoke level in its chamber to the central control panel. Using special software routines, the control panel processes these measurements to determine smoke alarm or maintenance requirements.
