temperature increase ~ even if the
temperature reaches a high level. A
large sudden change in temperature
can, however, cause an alarm without
the presence of smoke, if sustained for

Detectors allow access to unprocessed
temperature information (see note 1)

Detector contains an optical smoke
sensor and a thermistor temperature
sensor whose outputs are combined
to give the final analogue valve. The
way in which the signals from the twa
sensors are combined depends on the
response mode selected. The five modes
provide response behaviour which

With reference to Table 2 the
characteristics othe five response modes
are summarised below.
Mode 1 has very high smoke sensitivity
combined with high heat sensitivity. This
ves a high overall sensitivity to both
smouldering and flaming fies
‘Mode has a smoke sensivily similarto
that of a nosal optical smoke detector:
This mode is therefore equivalent to 3
standarel optical detector It is utablefor
applications in which wide temperature
changes occur under normal conditions
‘Mode 3 has moderate smoke sensitivity
combined with a moderate sensitivity 0
heat. This combination is considered the
optimum for mast general applications
since it offers good response to both
smouldering and flaming fies
‘Mode 4 has lower than normal smoke
sensitivity combined with high heat
sensitivity. This makes it suitable for
applications in which a certain amount
fumes or smoke is considered normal
Mode 5 has no smoke sensitivity at
all, but gives a pure heat detector
response meeting the response time
requirements fot a Clas AIR detector in
the European standard EN 545. In this
macle the detector will respond ta slowly
changing temperatures and has a “fixed
temperature” alarm threshold at 58°C.
The analogue value inthis mode will give
the appraximateair temperature over the
range 15°C to 55°C,
In mode 5, the smoke sensor is still
active though it does not contribute to
the analogue signal, As consequence,
ifthe detectors used in acty or smoky
environment the optical sensor dit fag
may be activated in the heat-only mode.
