Cooper Menvier CAP320 Intelligent Addressable Optical Smoke Sensor

The Cooper Menvier CAP320 is a high-performance intelligent addressable optical smoke sensor engineered for fast and reliable detection of slow-burning and smouldering fires. Specifically designed for use with Cooper intelligent addressable fire alarm systems, this sensor uses advanced photoelectric technology to detect large visible smoke particles. Certified to EN54-7, the CAP320 ensures high sensitivity, stable performance, and compliance with rigorous fire safety standards.

This optical smoke sensor features soft addressing, an integral short circuit isolator, and 360° LED visibility using innovative lightpipe technology. Its removable sensing chamber and drift compensation functionality simplify maintenance while maintaining optimal performance over time. With an aesthetically discreet design and a common mounting base, the CAP320 is ideal for a wide range of environments, including commercial, industrial, and public buildings.

Product Features

Intelligent Addressable Operation

Designed for seamless integration with Cooper intelligent addressable fire panels, allowing device-level identification, real-time status updates, and flexible system management.

Optical Sensing for Smouldering Fires

Employs advanced photoelectric technology that delivers rapid response to visible smoke particles from smouldering and slow-burning fires.

Certified to EN54 Standards

Third-party approved to EN54-7 for smoke detection, ensuring compliance with European life safety regulations.

Soft Addressing

Supports soft addressing for faster, tool-free configuration and simplified commissioning with no need for manual address setting.

Integrated Short Circuit Isolator

Built-in isolator ensures fault-tolerant loop operation by automatically isolating short circuits and protecting the integrity of the rest of the system.

360° LED Visibility

Incorporates lightpipe LED technology to provide clear, omnidirectional alarm indication, improving visual awareness across the protected space.

Drift Compensation

Automatically adjusts sensor sensitivity to compensate for dust build-up and contamination, maintaining consistent performance and reducing false alarms.

Removable Detector Chamber

The sensing chamber can be easily removed for cleaning, enhancing long-term reliability and simplifying regular maintenance.

Discreet and Aesthetic Design

Low-profile housing allows the sensor to blend seamlessly into modern interiors, making it suitable for offices, hotels, retail spaces, and other visible locations.

Common Mounting Base

Compatible with the full Cooper addressable detector range via a universal mounting base, streamlining installation and future upgrades.

Positive Locking Mechanism

Includes a secure locking feature to prevent unauthorized removal or accidental dislodging of the detector.
