HOW DOES YOUR SMOKE SCREEN WORK? 

 
Your Smoke Screen heats a non-toxic fluid under pressure to create smoke, or more accurately a 
thermally generated fog, that obscures visibility to discourage 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.   
 
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.   
 
This control system similarly provides a flexible interface with intruder detectors and alarm systems 
to ensure that you are always protected and free of inadvertent activations.
