Fire-Lite SD365CO Firelite Multi-Criteria Photoelectric

The Fire-Lite SD365CO is a multi-criteria addressable detector that combines photoelectric smoke sensing with integrated carbon monoxide detection in a single unit. Designed for commercial and institutional fire alarm installations, it is intended for use within Fire-Lite addressable fire alarm systems, where it communicates detection events back to the panel for centralized monitoring and response. By consolidating two distinct life-safety sensing technologies into one device, the SD365CO simplifies installation planning, reduces the number of discrete devices required at a given location, and supports a more streamlined ceiling layout. For professional installers, this translates into cleaner wiring runs, fewer device addresses consumed for dual-hazard coverage, and a tidier finished installation. For facility operators and life-safety managers, the combination of smoke and CO monitoring at a single point means broader hazard awareness without added infrastructure. The detector is well suited to occupied commercial spaces, healthcare environments, educational facilities, and other institutional settings where both smoke and carbon monoxide represent credible risks and where addressable system integration is a standard requirement.

Key features & benefits

• Multi-Criteria Detection — Integrates photoelectric smoke sensing and carbon monoxide detection within a single addressable detector head, providing coverage against two distinct life-safety hazards from one installed device.
• Photoelectric Smoke Sensing Technology — Employs a photoelectric detection principle that responds to the light-scattering characteristics of smoke particles, making it well suited for the types of smoldering fire conditions common in commercial and institutional occupancies.
• Integrated Carbon Monoxide Detection — Incorporates dedicated CO sensing alongside smoke detection, alerting occupants and the fire alarm panel to the presence of this colorless, odorless hazard without requiring a separate standalone CO device.
• Addressable System Integration — Engineered for use with Fire-Lite addressable fire alarm systems, allowing the panel to individually identify and report the status of each detector, supporting faster response and more precise fault isolation.
• Simplified Installation Footprint — Combining two sensing functions in one device reduces the total number of devices, wiring connections, and ceiling penetrations required to achieve dual-hazard coverage, benefiting professional installers working under time and material constraints.
• Commercial and Institutional Suitability — Designed to meet the demands of professional-grade fire alarm deployments in occupied commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and similar environments where reliable, continuously supervised detection is expected.
• Centralized Monitoring and Reporting — As part of a Fire-Lite addressable system, the SD365CO supports system-level event logging and reporting, giving operators and life-safety personnel clear, actionable information at the fire alarm control panel.
