The STEALTH system uses
detectors used in common fixtures found in bathrooms
such as deodorizers or perhaps a fake sprinkler head
to sense a flame caused by a cigarette lighter or a
match. It then sends a signal to a centrally located
receiver which then sounds the alarm. The receiver
can send the alarm to a belt pager which lets the
wearer know that someone has struck a match and
which bathroom number is involved.

What
technology is involved?
The devices we sell use unique UV
(Ultraviolet) flame detection devices which heretofore have
been used in flame control and flame detection systems. All
flames generate UV light. The initiation of a flame while
striking a match or flicking a cigarette lighter generates
UV which can be detected by these special sensors. Once the
light is detected then all we have to do is "sound the
alarm" either overtly or covertly and enforcement of your
smoking policy can begin.

How do you
install the system
The detectors are easily
mounted on the ceiling with just a few screws. The
wireless units can be probably installed in less
than 5 minutes per bathroom. The centrally located
receiver unit is plugged into a wall outlet and the
system is essentially ready to help you start
enforcing the rules!

What power is needed?
Our sensors use simple (for the most
part AA and AAA commonly available batteries) Lithium
batteries which typically have a life of two or more years
in our sensors. We do recommend that the batteries be
replaced annually to ensure proper operation.
Why hide the
detectors?
We have found that overtly
mounted detectors can be subject to vandalism and
theft while our STEALTH detectors blend in with the
environment are inherently less likely to be noticed
or damaged.

Should I use Wireless or Hard-Wired units?
The wireless system is much
easier and faster to install. A hardwired
installation may be required if the distance if the
distances between the sensors and the receiver is
too far for the range of the wireless equipment. We
strongly recommend or wireless system because of
it's ease of installation and use.
