An ODS (Oxygen Depletion System) pilot is a critical safety component in vent-free fire features. It monitors the oxygen levels in the room to ensure safe operation. If the oxygen level in the room drops below 18%, the ODS pilot will automatically shut off the gas supply to prevent potential hazards.
The ODS system's shut-off point is regulated by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z21.11.2, ensuring the fire feature adheres to strict safety standards. The ODS is essential for preventing carbon monoxide buildup and ensuring safe operation in spaces without proper ventilation.
