Description
Advanced Multi-Criteria Detector
with Four Unique Sensing Elements
•
The latest addition of the Gamewell-FCI’s Advanced
Detection product line integrates four complementary
technologies into one device to convey accurate fire
sensing information to locations where fire fighter
response-time is critical. The Gamewell-FCI MCS-4Warn is an advanced multi-criteria plug-in detector
that assembles four unique sensing elements into
one unit.
• Electrochemical cell technology that monitors carbon
monoxide (CO) produced by smoldering fires.
• Infrared (IR) sensing that measures ambient light levels
and flame signatures.
• Photo-electric smoke detection.
• Thermal detection for temperature monitoring.
It is designed to be used with the Gamewell-FCI’s E3
Series® and S3 Series fire alarm control panel only.
The integration of continuous monitoring for all four
major elements of a fire allows Gamewell-FCI to create a detector that responds more quickly to an
actual fire with the highest immunity to nuisances.
This advanced multi-criteria detector operates at a
high immunity level. It is designed to detect changing
elements, identify nuisance interference and adjust
the sensor accordingly to reduce false alarms.
Its on-board intelligence runs advanced algorithms
that dynamically adjust detection parameters to
respond to the inputs from the sensors, enabling
instant response as ambient conditions change.
The panel automatically changes sensor thresholds,
sensor gain, time, delays, combinations, sampling
rates, and averaging rates. If any sensor fails, the
detector automatically adjusts the sensitivity of the
remaining sensors and produces a fault condition.
The CO cell has an expected lifetime of approximately six years. It is not a field replaceable component. An internal timer signals the control panel to
signal the approach of the CO cell’s end of life. Upon
expiration, you should contact the system supplier to
arrange for replacement of the unit. Detection is not
compromised when the CO cell expires. The algorithms automatically adjusts to properly weigh the
inputs from the photo-electric, heat, and IR sensors.

Description (Continued)
Note: The CO cell is specifically deployed as a component of smoke detection in this device. This device
is not Listed for applications in which the standalone
CO detection is required for life safety.
The IR light sensor recognizes specific situations
such as welding and makes adjustments rapidly to
further reduce the potential for nuisance alarms. The
thermal detection function uses thermistor technology with a software-corrected linear temperature
response to offer exceptional nuisance alarm immunity and excellent fire detection.
