Frequently asked questions

What is ASAplus technology and how does it reduce false alarms?

ASAplus is an advanced multi‑criteria fire detection technology that uses four optical (3 infrared + 1 blue LED) and two thermal sensors with intelligent signal processing to reliably distinguish real fires from deceptive phenomena, reducing false alarms while ensuring early detection.

Available on: FDOOT261/FDOOT261-S (Sinteso) and OOH751/OOH751-S (Cerberus)

What is Smoke Entry Supervision (SES)?

Dual-layer safety feature available on -S models:

  • Cover detection: Instantly alerts if detector is accidentally covered
  • Grid supervision: Monitors smoke entry grid for blockages or soiling

Available on: FDOT251-S, FDOOT261-S, OH731-S, OOH751-S

What is DFT (Disturbance-Free Testing)?

Automatic self-testing technology:

  • Detectors tests can be scheduled or run on demand—and can be executed an unlimited number of times.
  • No operational disruptions or occupant notifications
  • Automatic alerts if faults detected
  • Fully capable to detect during testing
  • Enhanced by SES on -S models for dual-layer protection

Are these detectors sustainable?

Yes:

  • EcoTech certified
  • All plastic parts of the housing and the insides are made from resin containing 50% secondary materials
  • Overall material usage reduction of 22% by weight (compared to the predecessor).
  • The plastic bag is made of 30% recycled material
  • Low-carbon materials throughout
  • Firmware-updatable using Fire Field Assist, enabling new features and functionality for extended lifecycle

Are these detectors compatible with my existing system?

Yes, if you have Sinteso or Cerberus PRO:

  • Works with existing detector bases (no replacement needed)
  • Fully compatible with Sinteso fire panels
  • Mimic mode available for previous-generation panels
  • Full feature support requires latest panel software upgrade
  • No rewiring or mechanical component exchange

Can I monitor detectors remotely?

Yes, via Building X Fire Apps:

  • Real-time monitoring across multiple sites
  • Instant mobile notifications for alarms, faults, maintenance
  • Predictive maintenance
  • Test reporting and compliance documentation

Would I have access to digital services with Sinteso Nova detectors?

Yes, digital services are a core element of Sinteso Nova detectors. They turn system data into actionable insights—helping you better understand detector behavior, reduce false alarms and detect issues early. This supports proactive and predictive maintenance, reduces downtime through faster issue handling and improves overall system reliability. At the same time, digital documentation and reporting simplify compliance and audits, supporting safe operations, business continuity and long‑term decision‑making. You can learn more here.

How do I update detector firmware?

On-site: Via Fire Field Assist (FDUL2901) line tester

Updates enable compliance and adaptations without hardware replacement.

What tools support installation and maintenance?

Installation & commissioning:
