For the Engineer:

Environmental flexibility: Orbis has a voltage range of 8.5 to 33V, an operating temperature of –40°C to +70°C and a tolerance of 98% relative humidity.

Unrestriced choice of panel as polarity reversal for 200mS will not affect detectors.

Ease of commissioning with StartUp. Detectors flash (red 1x/sec) to show correct installation — detectors revert to normal operation automatically after 4 minutes.

Efficient maintenance procedure with FasTest®. FasTest takes just four seconds to test and confirm that smoke and heat detectors are functioning correctly.

For the Installer:

Fast and easy base installation with the TimeSaver® Base: fit screws to mounting box or surface, place the base over the screws and slide into place using the E-Z Fit slots, then tighten the screws.

Fast cable termination: the base has an open working area, single quadrant terminals, captive screws, a guide to cable stripping and detector LED alignment.

Simplified stockholding. The Orbis base is compatible with existing mounting boxes and backplates.

Ease of testing with the Continuity Link which enables voltage testing of zone wiring prior to commissioning.
 

For the Owner: Visually pleasing, harmonious design. Orbis has entirely new styling and combines a modern look and enhanced ease of use. Factory-set performance maintained with DirtAlert™: A yellow flashing LED indicates that the drift compensation level has been reached.

Contamination unlikely anyway with the DustDefy system which prevents dust ingress while maintaining airflow.

False alarms are reduced with Transient Rejection which filters out transient high readings that might otherwise cause a false alarm.

Features will vary according to territory.
