- Abstract
- The invention relates generally to fire detection systems having remote stations coupled to a central analysis station and particularly to a fire detection system having optical fibers which transmit flame signals from remote sensing stations to a central network of optical fibers which connect the monitoring stations to the central detection station for the purpose of transmitting incident analog optical, infrared and ultraviolet spectra to the central station for detection of fire conditions.
