Many thanks in advance Matt Jargon Optical best for detecting large particles of smoke produced by a slow burning fire,or as mentioned in escape routes as the smoke will have travelled and cooled. Ionisation best for fast burning fires which produce a very thin smoke.Keep clear of rooms near kitchens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
