The sensing chamber of the Orbis optical smoke detector contains an optical sensor which measures back-scattered light as well as the more usual forward-scattered light. The remarkable optical design of the Orbis optical smoke detector allows it to respond to a wide spectrum of fires. Orbis operates on the well established light scatter principle.
