1.2 HOW DOES YOUR SMOKE SCREEN WORK?
Your Smoke Screen passes a non-toxic fluid through an efficient heat exchanger to create smoke, or more accurately
a thermally generated fog that obscures visibility, discouraging intruders from entering your premises.
This fog is very persistent and will stay suspended in the room for a significant length of time until it is vented by
opening the doors and windows. Venting should be performed within 2 hours of an activation.
The Smoke Screen uses a sophisticated electronic control system to ensure it heats up to, and maintains, its ideal
operating temperature using a minimal amount of electricity.
The control system similarly provides a flexible interface with intruder detectors, alarm systems and remote
monitoring centres to ensure that you are always protected and free of inadvertent activations.
