4.2 Output Signals

The detector controls the following outputs:

• Alarm relay (this output is not available in the ATEX certified model

20/20MI-XX-X-C)

• Fault relay (this output is not available in the ATEX certified model 20/20MI-

XX-X-C)

• 4-20mA current output

• RS-485 communication


The detector can be in one of the following states.

Normal:

The detector is functioning normally.

BIT:

The detector performs a Built In Test.

Warning:

Fire detected – warming alarm (pre-alarm) state

Alarm:

Fire detected – fire alarm state

Latched Alarm
(Optional)

The alarm outputs are latched due to the detection of a fire
that has already been extinguished.

BIT Fault:

A fault is detected during BIT sequence. The detector will
continue to detect fire if the alarm conditions occur.

Fault:

A fault is detected when the power supply is too low or
during a software fault.

In each state, the detector will activate different outputs as specified in table 8.

Notes:
1 The alarm outputs will be activated as long as the alarm conditions are present
2 The Alarm state can be latched (optional) according to programmable function
3 The detector will be in its BIT FAULT state until it has passed a successful BIT

and will stop approximately 3 seconds after the fire is no longer detected.
