4.2 Output Signals

The detector controls the following outputs:

• Alarm relay

• Accessory relay

• Fault relay

• 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 - changed to warning – pre-alarm state.

Alarm:

Fire detected - changed to fire alarm state.

Latched Alarm
(Optional)

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

Fault:

A fault is detected during a BIT sequence or the power supply is
too low. In each state the detector will activate different outputs
as specified in table 5.

• The detector will be in its FAULT state until it has passed a successful BIT.

• When SW1-2 is OFF, WARNING state is the same as the ALARM state.

• The alarm outputs will be activated as long as the alarm conditions are present

and will stop approximately 5 seconds after the fire is no longer detected.
