Re: Addressable Smoke Head Protocol

["@@" <will.lynelle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank:

I have a Notifier 640, and while you are correct, I can view information on
the status of each head once installed,  the facility I operate is a maximum
security jail.  Installing heads is quite time consuming.  If there was a
way I could realize say 20% better cleaning it would save great deal of time
by yeilding longer service intervals.

Thanks for your interest and assistance.
