Multi-criteria detectors are designed to do what in response to different types of fires?

Multi-criteria detectors are engineered to respond to multiple types of fire indicators simultaneously, which allows them to identify a wider range of fire scenarios. By integrating various sensing technologies, such as smoke, heat, and CO (carbon monoxide), these detectors can effectively analyze the presence of several fire characteristics at once. This capability enables them to respond to different types of fires, whether they are fast-spreading or smoldering, by combining the inputs from all the sensors.

This adaptive response mechanism improves the accuracy of fire detection and reduces the likelihood of false alarms. In contrast to a detector that operates on a singular criterion, multi-criteria detectors are designed to assess the context of the signals they receive, improving their reliability in various environmental conditions and fire scenarios.
