ISTA smoke detectors protect Kyiv metro stations

Київський метрополітен

Since 2016, fire alarm systems with loop devices developed and manufactured by our enterprise have been installed in many buildings and facilities in Ukraine. Special mention should be made of our devices operation in underground conditions.

Our point optical smoke detectors installed in several Kyiv metro stations protect cable tunnels, sub-platform space. The devices operate in difficult conditions, some of smoke detectors are located very close to tracks where a lot of natural dust and also brake pad dust is accumulated. But in their several-year operating history there had been no case of a detector opening and cleaning.

The high reliability of our smoke detectors was achieved due to the careful design of the detector housing. Our specialists consulted with aircraft designers and calculated the opening dimension to enable air flow but reduce the dust penetration.

The sensitivity of our point optical smoke detectors complies with EN-54 standard requirements. All fire alarm detectors are certified and meet the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility in accordance with DSTU EN 54-5.
