The pyroelectric device fitted within the DRD-E detector, can detect CO2 formation during combustion
through an optical filter. The output is amplified from 2 to 15 Hz. The DRD-E detector will then make a fire
decision using an AC-DC converter, comparator, and capacitor. It will then send an alarm signal to the fire
panel via a switching circuit.
