Rocky Research Advanced Fire and Smoke Sensor System
AFP1100 & ABP1000
Utilizing commercial-off-the-shelf, state-of-the-art components, Rocky Research has
designed an Advanced Fire and Smoke Sensor System (AFSSS) that provides high reliability fire and smoke detection
for industrial and military environments.
The Rocky Research Fire & Smoke Sensor System is composed of two enclosure/panels - an
Alarm Panel (AFP1100) and a Battery Panel (ABP1000). Both are designed to withstand
the harsh environments encountered aboard Navy ships - high shock, vibration, EMI, temperature, and humidity levels.
The unit supports two loops of addressable devices, such as smoke sensors, heat sensors, switch closure modules,
and flame detectors with each loop hosting up to 250 devices. Standby power is supplied by the Battery Panel, which
contains two 12V, 50 Ah batteries wired in series to supply 24 VDC of backup power in case of AC interruption. Two
methods of networking are available for communications with workstations dedicated to ship control systems: via
Ethernet using FieldServer technology or via a network that uses RS-485 communications protocol.
The system allows four levels of programmable authorization. With the proper authorization,
all addressable devices can be programmed from the Alarm Panel or a remote workstation networked to the unit.
Programmable parameters are the temperatures and smoke levels at which alarms sound for the heat and smoke sensors,
respectively. Queries can be made to view the temperature level at a heat sensor and smoke reading at a smoke sensor
by simply selecting desired sensor.
