Ciq-Arrete® Anti-Smoking Alarm Systems

Vehicular Protection System (Part No CSA-SAM)

The Samplair system has been specifically designed for vehicular protection. Many countries have now adopted smoking bans on all public transport, but until recently with the launch of the Cig-Arrete* Samplair system there has been no effective way of monitoring for ETS.

Designed to be installed covertly, the Samplair is an aspirating system which utilizes a sampling tube connected to a speaker type grill. The cabin air supply is drawn in through the grill and tube assembly and passed over the sensing element. On activation, the Samplair outputs a signal to an externally mounted sounder, flasher unit or voice alarm.

By utilizing the voice alarm module, passengers are alerted by means of a voice message urging them to refrain from smoking. Simultaneously, the driver is aware of a problem through a remote monitoring module situated in the drivers compartment.

Research has shown that during the voice alert, other non­smoking passengers exert a degree of peer group pressure toward the smokers, resulting in the cigarettes being extinguished.

The Samplair system will then auto-reset after a pre­determined alarm period awaiting the next alarm activation sample.

Many operators of public service vehicles have utilized the Samplair to comply with the demands of their customers to travel on smoke free vehicles.

Other uses of the Samplair system include fire detection on parked or out of service vehicles, monitoring of arson by vandals and cabinet protection throughout the electrical and telecommunications industries.
