1. Summary
The MHT Vape Detection Kit is designed to enhance safety and policy enforcement in sensitive environments like school bathrooms or any indoor space where vaping is prohibited. This system provides real-time response to vape detection using visual alerts to notify staff or security personnel.
The solution integrates advanced sensor technology, responsive lighting components, and intuitive manual control, making it both autonomous and user-friendly.
2. System Overview
The vape detection kit includes the following key components:
-
CCCV 90W Node Driver: Acts as the power and control hub.
-
Strobe Light (CH1): Activates and flashes rapidly when vape is detected.
-
Downlights (x2) + Static Strip Light (CH2): Normal lighting configuration for the space.
-
4-Button (4B) Wall Controller: Manual Controle for CH2 lighting only.
-
NS311 Vape Sensor (from NextGen): Detects vape particles and triggers strobe response.
3. Control Narrative
Normal Operation:
-
When the space is unoccupied or no vape is present:
-
CH2 lighting (2x downlights + static strip) remains ON or manually controlled via the 4B switch.
-
CH1 (strobe light) remains OFF.
-
Vape Detection Response:
-
If vape is detected by the NS311 Sensor:
-
The strobe light on CH1 is triggered immediately.
-
The strobe flashes rapidly, alerting nearby staff or security that someone is vaping in the space.
-
The 4B switch still retains control of the CH2 lighting independently of the vape event.
