IQ8Quad – Four Fire Safety Tasks, One Device

With the IQ8Quad Novar enters a new era of safety technology, combining detector, sounder and flasher which required three separate enclosures in the past. Now, the intelligent IQ8Quad detector provides far better safety within a single enclosure.

Four functions, one enclosure:

• IQ8Quad detects (heat, optically combined and combined with CO sensor);
• IQ8Quad alarms optically with integrated flasher;
• IQ8Quad alarms acoustically with the integrated sounder (EN54 alarm sound according to DIN 33404 Part 3);
• IQ8Quad alarms acoustically with integrated voice enhanced alarm.

IQ8Quad, Optical Smoke Detector
The IQ8Quad optical smoke detector is primarily used for the earliest possible fire detection. The optical detection comprises a broad spectrum of smoke and fulfils DIN EN 54 Part 7. Like all IQ8Quad detectors, it has an integrated loop isolator and a low quiescent current (VdS certification G 204060).

IQ8Quad Multi-sensor Detector OTG
The optical/heat IQ8Quad CO detector guarantees not only early fire detection, but also the detection of CO gases. The alarm will be triggered even before the fire itself becomes visible, consequently reducing the possible cause of smoke poisoning.

IQ8Quad Multi-sensor Detector O2T
The IQ8Quad O2T combines optical and heat sensors and can reduce false alarms in difficult environments. The O2T uses an innovative two-angle technology for analysis and “screens” its environment. With this technology the detector differentiates between deceptive phenomena and real fires.

IQ8Quad Heat Detector
By using either the fixed or rate-of-rise principle, it detects temperature rises in relation to the ambient temperature. The IQ8Quad heat detector is primarily used in areas where smoke or similar aerosols develop on a regular basis and possible open fires might develop extremely fast (VdS certification G 204058 and G 204059). Despite the flat housing, the IQ8Quad offers a spacious installation base, giving more space for cabling and unused wires can be easily looped through directly within the base. As the IQ8Quad is a detector, sounder and flasher in a single housing installation, time is much shorter than that of three separate components. Now, only one component needs to be installed: the IQ8Quad. Furthermore, it proves to be very flexible. In the case of a possible upgrade or exchange only the detector needs to be dismounted from the base. In the case of legacy systems, there is hardly any more effort necessary: existing holes previously used by the Series 9200 detector base are compatible, hence upgrading to the latest IQ8Quad technology is very easy.

Tools 8000: Programming, Service, Maintenance
The IQ8Quad detector generation operates seamless with the Novar control panel 8000 and IQ8Control as well. The sounder strobe flasher functionality however is only supported by IQ8Control. Programming with tools 8000 makes it possible to read the detector topology only once on site, the actual programming and diagnosis can be done off site, if required.
