In the context of increasingly complex and unpredictable fire risks, upgrading fire detection systems has become more critical than ever. The new solution from Bosch with the multi-sensor detector FAP-425-DOTCO-R, integrating a carbon monoxide (CO) sensor, delivers superior and more comprehensive fire detection capabilities.

Challenges in modern fire detection

1. Compliance with new standards

Fire safety regulations are becoming more stringent, especially with upcoming requirements for CO monitoring under EN54 standards across various industries.

2. Reducing false alarms

Traditional systems are easily affected by smoke, dust, or heat, leading to false alarms and operational disruptions.

3. Complex system maintenance

Managing multiple standalone sensors increases maintenance costs and makes system performance harder to control.

Breakthrough solution: Multi-sensor detector FAP-425-DOTCO-R

The FAP-425-DOTCO-R belongs to the Bosch AVENAR 4000 Series – known for its advanced multi-sensor technology, including:

• Optical sensor (smoke)
• Thermal sensor
• Dedicated CO gas sensor

This combination enables the device to:

• Detect multiple fire indicators simultaneously
• Identify risks from CO gas – an invisible, odorless, yet extremely dangerous threat
• Comply with new EN54 standards for high-demand environments

Key benefits of the solution

Accurate and fast detection: Multi-sensor technology ensures precise identification of real fire events while significantly reducing false alarms.

Comprehensive CO monitoring: Integrated CO sensor allows early detection of smoldering fires or toxic gas leaks in enclosed environments.

Extended lifespan: CO sensor lifespan up to 10 years, reducing replacement and operational costs.

Smart remote maintenance – supported by Bosch Remote Services:

• Self-testing in compliance with VdS 3860
• Remote monitoring and maintenance
• Minimizing manual on-site intervention

System compatibility: Easily integrates with existing Bosch fire alarm systems, optimizing upgrade costs.

Practical applications

Parking areas & basements

In enclosed parking spaces, CO emissions from vehicles can accumulate to dangerous levels. Combined with fuel presence and high temperatures, the risk of fire and explosion is significant.

Therefore, continuous CO monitoring is essential to ensure safety.

Hospitals & healthcare facilities

Boilers, generators, and continuously operating equipment may generate or leak CO. In sensitive environments like hospitals, even minor incidents can severely impact patients and operations.

Early CO detection helps protect people, equipment, and ensures operational continuity.

Industrial facilities

Industrial fuel combustion produces large amounts of CO, alongside multiple heat sources and sparks from machinery. This creates a highly complex and high-risk fire environment.

A multi-sensor detection solution is required to comprehensively manage these risks.

Pharmaceutical industry

In laboratories and production lines, CO can be generated as a byproduct of chemical reactions. Additionally, the presence of flammable chemicals and heat sources increases fire risks.

Accurate and continuous CO monitoring is therefore a critical part of the overall safety system.

Why choose Bosch AVENAR 4000 solution?

The Bosch AVENAR 4000 fire detection solution is not just a device, but a new benchmark in safety standards for modern buildings.

With integrated multi-sensor technology (smoke – heat – CO), the system delivers fast, accurate detection while minimizing false alarms – one of the biggest operational challenges. Furthermore, compliance with international standards such as EN54 helps businesses meet regulations and enhance overall safety.

Beyond performance, the solution optimizes long-term costs through durability, remote monitoring capabilities, and reduced manual maintenance requirements.
