Why Soiling Level Reporting?

Dust, industrial fumes and construction debris accumulate on fire detectors over time, reducing their sensitivity or triggering false alarms. Over 95% of all fire alarms are false alarms. Soiling Level Reporting gives you continuous visibility into the contamination status of every detector in your building, so you can act before problems arise and keep occupants and assets protected.

Proactive maintenance planning

Identify detectors approaching critical contamination thresholds before they fail. Schedule replacements at the right time, with the right device types and quantities, to avoid unplanned downtime.

Fewer false alarms and disruptions

Contamination is classified into Normal, Warning and Fault levels. Addressing Warning-level detectors early prevents the false alarms that cause business interruptions and unnecessary costs.

Full transparency across all detectors

A cloud-based dashboard and optional PDF reports provide a complete view of soiling trends, contamination categories, building locations, and device operation history for every detector on site.

How Soiling Level Reporting works

Secure data connection

Your fire detection system connects to the Siemens cloud through a secure link. Detector soiling data is transmitted automatically, with no manual data collection required. The connection ensures that contamination readings are always up to date and available for analysis.

Contamination analysis and classification

The service analyzes pollution levels caused by dust and fibers on each detector's internal detection circuit and insect protection grid. Every detector is classified into one of three contamination categories: Normal, Warning, or Fault. Detectors approaching their soiling threshold are flagged so you can take action before they enter fault mode.

Actionable reporting and recommendations

The report delivers current and trending soiling levels, contamination categories by building location, upcoming exchange dates, and recommended replacement device types and quantities. Available as a dynamic CIP dashboard and as scheduled PDF reports, it prepares technicians with exactly the information they need for every service visit, supporting predictive maintenance and investment planning.
