9.6 IONISATION PROCESSING
The smoke reading of the detector is returned in two parts as inputs AI0 and AI1 of the
device ASIC. In the MXP the average value of AI0 and AI1 is used for all calculations, so
that all returned values to the MX4428 lie within the range of 0 – 255. (Note that TEPG
literature refers to the sum of the two inputs.)
The processing is shown in Figure 9.6. The tracked value is initialised by setting it to a high
value (100) when the MXP or detector powers up, and allowing the tracked value to
increment / decrement by 1 for each of the first 4 minutes.
