Abstract
Devices, methods, and systems for a modular aspirated smoke, gas, or air quality monitoring system are described herein. One modular monitoring unit, includes a base having a plurality of sampling tubes mounted thereon, at least one pump, and at least one detector module that is releasably attached to the base, wherein the pump draws air from one of the sampling tubes into a particulate sensing chamber within the detector module.
Claims20
A modular monitoring unit, comprising:
- a base having a plurality of sampling tubes mounted thereon;
- at least one pump;
- and
- a plurality of detector modules, each sampling tube of the base is in fluid communication with a different air sampling path that progresses through a detector module of the plurality of detector modules, each detector module of the plurality of detector modules is connected via one or more inlet ports and one or more outlet ports thereon to corresponding inlet and outlet ports of the base, such that air to be tested is communicated from each sampling tube attached to the base to an air sampling path within the detector module to which it has a fluid connection and that each detector module is each independently releasably attached to the base, wherein the at least one pump draws the air from one of the plurality of sampling tubes into the air sampling path and into a particulate sensing chamber within the detector module.

A modular monitoring unit, comprising:
- a base having apertures for a connection of a plurality of sampling tubes mounted thereto;
- at least one pump;
- and
- a plurality of detector modules, each sampling tube of the base is in fluid communication with a different air sampling path that progresses through a detector module of the plurality of detector modules, each detector module of the plurality of detector modules is connected via one or more inlet ports and one or more outlet ports thereon to corresponding inlet and outlet ports of the base, such that air to be tested is communicated from each sampling tube attached to the base to an air sampling path within the detector module to which it has a fluid connection and that each detector module is each independently releasably attached to the base, wherein the at least one pump draws the air from one of the plurality of sampling tubes into the air sampling path and into a particulate sensing chamber within the detector module.

A modular monitoring system, comprising:
- a rack for mounting a number of modular monitoring units to a wall;
- a first modular monitoring unit mounted to the rack, including;
- a base having a plurality of sampling tubes mounted thereon;
- at least one pump;
- and
- at least one detector module that is releasably attached to the base, wherein the at least one pump draws air from one of the plurality of sampling tubes into a particulate sensing chamber within a detector module of the at least one detector module;
- and
- a second modular monitoring unit mounted to the rack, including;
- a different base having a plurality of different sampling tubes mounted thereon;
- at least one different pump;
- and
- at least one different detector module that is releasably attached to the different base, wherein the at least one different pump draws the air from one of the plurality of different sampling tubes into a different particulate sensing chamber within the at least one different detector module.
