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.
