Industrial-suited fire gas detectors with multiple semi­

conductor gas-sensors, integrated signal evaluation

and M-Bus interface

GSME-M4

• Robust design with aluminum die-cast enclosure

• Extensive tolerance towards humidity and dust
thanks to unique diffusion-filter technology (IP64)
• Adjustable sensitivity for each gas-sensor avoids
false alarms
• Detection of smodering fires already at an early
stage
• Multi-criteria signal evaluation detects smoldering
fires long before ignition
• Fast and easy installation due to plug-and-play
cable for power-supply and data-signals
• Central data archiving and visualization with ser-
vice PC
• Interface modules for common fire alarm systems

 GSME-M4
ADICOS GSME-M4 are compact fire gas detectors from the ADICOS system.

There are several typical gases or gaseous components that are released at an early stage during
fires in industrial plants, such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen, various hydrocarbons and nitro-
gen oxides. GSME fire gas detectors detect these gases that are characteristic of developing fires
at an early stage. 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 formation phase. 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, water vapour or cigarette smoke.

The ADICOS M-Bus enables communication between the ADICOS system software and the ADI-
COS detectors. With this software, all detector states and concentration curves can be graphical-
ly displayed and sensitivities and alarm thresholds can be individually parameterized for each
detector.
