This detector-only component integrates two independent sensing elements – an optical smoke chamber certified to EN54-7 and a thermal sensor certified to EN54-5 – enabling the system to correlate multiple fire signatures before triggering alarm conditions. The multisensor approach provides superior detection reliability across diverse fire scenarios, from fast-flaming fires producing rapid heat development to smouldering fires generating significant smoke with minimal temperature rise. The detector head must be paired with one of the compatible wireless bases (FCX-170-001, FCX-170-101, FCX-191-000, or FCX-191-200) to create a complete wireless multisensor detection system with individual addressing at the fire control panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing an integrated fire indication LED for immediate visual alarm confirmation, the FCX-174-001 includes an anti-tamper locking mechanism securing the detector to the wireless base and the FasTest maintenance feature enabling rapid functional testing of both sensing elements during service visits. The dual-sensor configuration allows sophisticated fire algorithms that analyze both smoke particle presence and temperature characteristics, significantly reducing nuisance alarms from non-fire sources such as steam, cooking fumes, or airborne dust while maintaining sensitivity to genuine fire conditions. This intelligent detection approach makes multisensor detectors particularly valuable in challenging environments where single-technology detectors might generate false alarms or require extended response times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured to rigorous EN54-5 and EN54-7 standards for heat and smoke detection performance, the FCX-174-001 carries third-party certification with DoP references 0359-CPR-0041 and 0905-CPR-20212, alongside CE, UKCA, and BOSEC approvals. Operating across temperatures from -10°C to 55°C with IP23 environmental protection for indoor applications, the detector measures 113mm diameter by 92mm depth, slightly larger than single-technology detectors to accommodate dual sensing elements. When combined with a compatible wireless base, the complete assembly weighs 0.45kg and provides dual band 868 MHz communication to FireCell control panels including the Fusion RLM, delivering reliable wireless multisensor detection for applications demanding both high detection performance and false alarm immunity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FIXES-HUB ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61316343529802,"sku":null,"price":58.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/3090\/0298\/files\/ems-firecell-fcx-174-001-wireless-multisensor-detector-optical-313.jpg?v=1779137201","url":"https:\/\/www.fixes-hub.co.uk\/products\/ems-firecell-fcx-174-001-wireless-multisensor-detector-optical-heat","provider":"FIXES-HUB ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
