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.

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 5.

Note:
1 Accessory relay can be activated at warning level or alarm level depending on

programmable function

2 The Alarm state can be latched according to programmable function
3 The detector will be in its BIT FAULT state until it has passed a successful BIT.
