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.
