Abstract
The Advanced Discovery System (ADICOS® ) is used for early detection of fires
in industrial environments. It is comprised of various, separate detector
units. By parameterizing and arranging the detectors appropriately, the system
fulfills a predefined detection goal. The ADICOS system ensures reliable early
detection of embers and smoldering fires even in adverse environments.
ADICOS GSME® fire gas detectors detect at an early stage gases that are
characteristic for developing fires. They detect both open and concealed
smoldering fires. Highly sensitive and at the same time robust, they are ideal
for fire gas detection in industrial environments – and already in the
incipient stage. With the ADICOS software, all detector states and
concentration curves can be displayed graphically. Sensitivities as well as
alarm thresholds can be parameterized individually for each detector. The
GSME® fire gas detectors can be used in almost any indoor plant area, taking
into account the air flow conditions.
Four parameterizable semiconductor gas sensors monitor and evaluate the
concentration curve of these gases according to multi-criteria technology.
This enables the GSME detectors to distinguish real fires from interference
signals. In industrial environments, this often occurs under harsh conditions,
e.g. due to vehicle exhaust fumes, dust, mist or vapor.
ADICOS GME-X20 detectors are designed for operation in hazardous dust
atmospheres up to ATEX zone 20.

- De-energize the entire detector system and secure against unintentionally reactivation for all wiring work!
2.5 Modifications
WARNING!
Property damage or detector failure by any form of unauthorized modification!
Any form of unauthorized modification or extension can lead to a failure of
the detector system. The warranty claim expires.
- Never make unauthorized modifications on your own authority.
2.6 Accessories and Spare Parts
WARNING!
Property damage due to short circuit or failure of the detector system
The use of parts other than the manufacturer’s original spare parts and
original accessories may result in property damage due to short circuits.
- Only use original spare parts and original accessories!
- Original spare parts and accessories may only be installed by trained specialist personnel.
- Qualified personnel are persons as described in Chap. 2.3
