Protecting Jet Fans in car parks with Aspirating Smoke Detectors is a requirement under AS1670.1-2018. Jet fans can adversely affect the operation and effectiveness of installed fire safety systems, which is why it’s important you are up to date with the latest standard requirements of AS1670.1 and AS1668. Rob and Ben talk about using the VESDA Aspirating Smoke Detectors with a Class A sensitivity and the fan controls required. This episode is worth watching to bring yourself up to speed with getting a better understanding of these standards.
