AirSense Technology is a market leader and manufacturer in Aspirating Smoke Detection systems, with a total of more than 175 man years experience in this specialised field of fire protection. AirSense probably has more accumulated experience in this field than any other organisation.

The company is based in Hertfordshire, England where we have extensive research facilities. We have subsidiaries, associates and overseas distributors for international distribution in all regions. Special subsidiaries operate as AirSense Asia, Australia, Benelux, Finland and Korea.

The AirSense Technology Stratos-HSSD® range of products are suitable for the detection of incipient fires in a wide range of environments. They are particularly well suited for the protection of EDP (computer) equipment in high air-flows, and other 'difficult to protect' environments. Stratos-HSSD® may be configured to be so sensitive that it can actually detect a slowly building fire before any damage occurs, but it is also virtually impossible to have a nuisance alarm. This is because the system uses a patented form of 'Artificial Intelligence', unique in a fire alarm product, called ClassiFire this guarantees that the system maintains a maximum SAFE sensitivity.
