ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS

temperAture rAnge—

Operating: 0°C to +49°C (+32°F to +120°F ).

Storage:

0°C to +70°C (+32°F to +158°F).

relAtive humiDity—

0 to 93% relative humidity.

NOTE

Water or other liquids on the face of the detector
may decrease sensitivity.

enclosure rAting—

IP67.

vibrAtion—

Compliance with FM Approval Standard FM 3260: 2000.

electromAgnetic interference—

Highly resistant to radiated and conducted Electromagnetic

Interference (EMI). The detectors are immune to radiated

fields of 100 volts per meter, including amplitude and

frequency modulated (AM & FM) signals in the frequency

range of 1 MHz to 1 GHz. The detectors can operate in the

presence of conducted noise levels up to 1.0 VRMS in the

frequency range of 30 Hz to 250 kHz while the input

voltage, including noise, remains between 9 and 30 volts.

certificAtion—

FM:

Refer to Appendix A for details.

CE:

See Special Conditions for Safe Use.

special conditions for safe use:
• The PM-5MPX Detector may only be installed,

connected or removed when the area is known to be

non-hazardous.

• The PM-5MPX Detector may only be used in indoor

applications that are independent of building fire

protection systems.

• The PM-5MPX plastic cover is liable to be damaged by

impact. The unit should be installed in such a manner

as to protect the cover from mechanical damage.

Conforms with: Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC).

Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive

(2004/108/EC).

DETECTOR PERFORMANCE

DETECTION RANgE AND RESpONSE TImE
Best performance is achieved when the detector is

mounted so that the protected area is within the range, or

detection threshold distance (refer to Appendix A for test

result data), and within the 110° field of view (see Figure

2). The PM-5MPX detector can respond to fires in as little

as 25 milliseconds. Actual detection time depends on the

distance between the detector and the fire, the source of

fuel, ignition sources and other aspects of the initial fire

stages. The detector has a typical response time of <0.5

second to the fires specified in Appendix A. The detector

can respond most quickly to closer or larger fires, but is

unlikely to detect fires occurring further than the indicated

distance. The range is reduced when the fire occurs

close to the edge of the field of view of the detector. At

the edge (±55° off axis) the range is reduced no more

than 50%.

NOTE

The detector range to fires not listed in Appendix A
will vary and should be verified by fire tests using
the fuel in question. Please contact Detector
Electronics Corporation for further information.
