Abstract

See full text

A tobacco smoke detector has a gas-sensitive semiconductor sensor device (in particular, GasFET sensor) with a first gas-sensitive layer which reacts to tobacco smoke and a second gas-sensitive layer which reacts to fire products. An evaluation unit (e.g. microchip) analyzes the signals supplied by the first and the second gas-sensitive layer and determines whether tobacco smoke is present. Optionally, the tobacco smoke detector contains an interface for providing a connection using signals or data technology to a hazard detector and/or a hazard control unit and/or an output device, in particular for transmitting information as to whether tobacco smoke is present. Optionally, the tobacco smoke detector can be operationally integrated into a conventional hazard detector (e.g. fire alarm).
