Nittan Smoke Detectors

This page holds Nittan Evolution addressable optical smoke detectors for fire alarm systems. The EV-P is a photoelectric smoke detector for Nittan FSK protocol panels. Another version has an integrated sounder of about 88dB(A), and the EV-PH multi-sensor houses an optical smoke sensor and a 54°C A1R heat sensor together. Models such as the EV-P and EV-PH have a 360° LED indicator and comply with EN54-7.

Choosing Nittan Smoke Detectors

A Nittan smoke detector is a Nittan Evolution addressable detector for fire alarm systems; the EV-P, for example, is a photoelectric smoke detector for use with Nittan FSK protocol control panels. Decide whether the point needs smoke detection alone, smoke with a sounder, or combined smoke and heat sensing, then confirm the panel uses the Nittan Evolution FSK protocol.

Optical smoke detection

The EV-P uses photoelectric detection with ASIC technology in a low profile, compact design. It has low monitoring current, an Omniview 360° LED fire alarm indicator, a remote indicator output and a base control auxiliary output, and non-polarised terminals for installation. It complies with EN54-7:2000 + A1:2002.

Detector with a sounder

The EV-PYS photoelectric optical detector has a built-in sounder with an output of about 88dB(A) at 3.5mA and a 360° LED indicator. It needs one address, which simplifies installation and reduces time, and it complies with EN54-3:2001 and EN54-7:2000.

Multi-sensor detection

The EV-PH houses an optical smoke sensor and a 54°C A1R heat sensor together. An algorithm processes the optical and heat signals at the same time to minimise false alarms, so the detector can respond to smoke and to heat. The EV-PH uses Nittan Evolution FSK communication with EEPROM addressed programming. It complies with EN54-5 and EN54-7.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Nittan smoke detector?

A Nittan smoke detector is a fire detector made by Nittan for fire alarm systems. Its Evolution models are addressable and use the Nittan FSK protocol, and the range includes optical smoke detectors and multi-sensor detectors that combine smoke and heat sensing. The range here includes addressable optical smoke detectors and an addressable multi-sensor detector.

Are Nittan smoke detectors addressable?

Yes, Nittan's Evolution smoke detectors are addressable, so a detector has its own address on a loop and the panel shows exactly which one has operated. They use the Nittan FSK protocol, so they must be used with a control panel that supports that protocol, whether a Nittan panel or another maker's compatible panel. The range here includes Evolution addressable detectors.
