The ActiV Optical Smoke Detector (C4416) is a high-performance conventional smoke detector designed to provide fast, accurate, and dependable early fire detection in a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial environments. Using advanced photoelectric (optical) sensing technology, the detector is highly effective at identifying visible smoke particles generated by slow-smouldering fires, allowing occupants to receive an early warning before a fire develops into a more dangerous situation.

Engineered for compatibility with ActiV conventional fire alarm systems, the C4416 delivers reliable performance while minimizing false alarms caused by dust, insects, or minor environmental disturbances. Its advanced optical sensing chamber continuously monitors the surrounding air for smoke particles, ensuring rapid detection and helping to protect lives, property, and business operations.

The detector is particularly effective in identifying slow-burning fires, such as those involving electrical wiring, upholstered furniture, paper, wood, textiles, and other combustible materials. Early detection allows occupants to evacuate safely and enables emergency responders to react more quickly, reducing the potential for significant fire damage.

Designed for professional fire alarm installations, the ActiV Optical Smoke Detector is suitable for use in a variety of indoor applications, including:

Its versatile design makes it an ideal choice for areas where smoke detection is the preferred method of fire detection.

The C4416 features a high-efficiency optical sensing chamber that responds quickly to visible smoke while offering excellent immunity to nuisance alarms. Compared to traditional ionisation detectors, optical smoke detectors are generally more effective at detecting smouldering fires and are less likely to trigger false alarms from cooking fumes or minor airborne particles, making them suitable for many everyday building environments.

A built-in 360-degree LED status indicator provides clear visual confirmation of the detector’s operating condition. During normal operation, the LED indicates standby status, while during an alarm condition it illuminates brightly, allowing maintenance personnel and emergency responders to quickly identify the activated detector.

Installation is simple and efficient using compatible ActiV detector bases, including both diode and non-diode base options depending on the fire alarm system design. The detector securely twists into place, allowing quick installation, easy removal for maintenance, and convenient replacement without disturbing the wiring. This reduces servicing time and simplifies routine inspections.

Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the ActiV Optical Smoke Detector features low current consumption, helping reduce the electrical load on the conventional fire alarm control panel. This makes it particularly suitable for larger installations where multiple detectors are connected to the same fire alarm zone.

Constructed from high-quality, flame-resistant materials, the detector is built to deliver reliable long-term performance in demanding indoor environments. Its durable housing protects the sensing components while maintaining consistent operation throughout years of continuous service.

The ActiV Optical Smoke Detector (C4416) is manufactured to meet recognised fire detection standards, ensuring dependable performance in life safety applications. When installed as part of a professionally designed and maintained conventional fire alarm system, it provides accurate and reliable smoke detection that helps safeguard people and property.

Whether protecting offices, educational facilities, healthcare centres, hotels, retail outlets, warehouses, apartment complexes, or residential homes, the ActiV Optical Smoke Detector (C4416) delivers dependable early fire detection with high sensitivity, reduced false alarms, and easy installation. Its combination of advanced optical sensing technology, reliable performance, low maintenance requirements, and compatibility with ActiV conventional fire alarm systems makes it an excellent choice for modern fire protection solutions.
