General Information Figure 1-4. The Installation Complete Screen 1-4 CONNECTING THE DETECTOR OR COMMAND MODULE TO AN RS232 SERIAL PORT Connect the PC to a Detector or Command Module with an RS232 serial port cable with two female 9-pin D connectors wired as shown in Figure 1-5. WARNING Boot up the computer before connecting the serial cable to the Detector, as otherwise it may recognize the Detector as an added serial mouse or other peripheral equipment. Figure 1-5. RS232 Serial Port Connection In a network of Detectors connected to a common Command Module, the Remote Configuration Software allows centralized access to interrogate or program any Detector or the Command Module in the network loop from a common location. You do not need to remove and reconnect the RS232 cable to different Detectors. When connecting to an individual Detector in a network loop rather than to the Command Module, Remote Configuration Software generates a Comms fault at the Command Module. This is normal, because the Detector s RS485 communications are overridden by the RS232 communications. 1-5 STARTING REMOTE CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE 1. Select Start>Programs>Remote Configuration Software from the Start menu or double-click on the Remote Configuration Software icon on the desktop. The dialog box shown in Figure 1-6 is displayed.

Bus viewer Screen Items Item Show fast poll checkbox Bus error rate <Save> <Clear> <Print> Function If selected, the Bus viewer screen shows the continual communication data stream in the detector network. This is the only user-accessible data. The Bus error rate normally reads 0%. If the figure is above 2%, there may be a problem with cabling or wiring. The Bus error rate screen is a diagnostic viewer of the data bus of a network and can be used to aid diagnosis of a communications problem by sending the information to AIR-Intelligence for analysis. Saves the data in the message column to a text file, which may be sent by email. Removes all existing messages from the message window. Sends the data to the system printer so it can be mailed or faxed. 2-1.2 Diagnostics Selecting Diagnostics from the View menu has the same effect as selecting the Diagnostics icon: which will initially scan the network for a detector. Once all addresses are scanned, the Diagnostics screen, shown in Figure 2-3, will appear. If you connect a PC with Remote Configuration Software installed to any detector in a network, it will bring up all the detectors on the network (see Figure 2-3): September 2009 2-2 P/N 33-308100-004

Status and Informational Displays Figure 2-3. Diagnostics Screen If there are fewer than 127 detectors on the loop, the scan can be cancelled after the scan display shows the address after the last detector address in the loop. For example. for two detectors with addresses 001 and 002, the scan could be canceled when the display reads Detector 003. The Diagnostics screen displays columns of information about each device: Table 2-3. Diagnostics Screen Items Item Address Device Version Status Detector text Function The detector address as set on the detector s internal DIP switch The device type (detector or Command Module) The revision number of the device s internal software The diagnostic status of the device. In the example shown in Figure 2-3, the status of the detector units is Untested, which indicates that they have not been tested. Only applies to detectors fitted with an LCD display, and is the text string set by the Device text option in the Device information tab of the Programmable functions screen (see Appendix B for details). In the example shown in Figure 2-3, the detectors have been left at the default setting. P/N 33-308100-004 2-3 September 2009

Sample Selected Detector Device 2-1.2.1 DIAGNOSTICS SCREEN BUTTONS As shown in Figure 2-4, the Diagnostic Screen displays several buttons, which are discussed in this section. 2-1.2.1.1 Scan This button scans the entire network for attached devices. The following dialog box is presented while scanning takes place: Figure 2-5. Diagnostics Scan Dialog Box If there are fewer than 127 detectors on the loop, the scan can be cancelled after the scan display shows the address after the last detector address in the loop. For example. for two detectors with addresses 001 and 002, the scan could be canceled when the display reads Detector 003 by selecting the <Cancel> button on the Scan dialog box. 2-1.2.1.2 Diagnostics When Diagnostics is selected, the software will begin to carry out a series of diagnostic tests covering all aspects of the detector function. A status bar as shown in Figure 2-6 will detail the September 2009 2-4 P/N 33-308100-004

Status and Informational Displays tests being carried out. The aspirating fan of the unit may vary in speed during the tests, but this is a normal function of the software. When the diagnostics are complete, the Status indicator in the main Diagnostics window will either change from Untested to OK if no problems are found, or will detail any fault found. Figure 2-6. Running Diagnostics Screen 2-1.2.1.3 Read The <Read> button provides real-time information on the selected detector s laser chamber output as a percentage of full-scale output (not a direct measure of smoke obscuration) and the flow for each aspirating pipe (see Figure 2-7). For an ASD-160H Detector only a single flow reading would be present. For an ASD-320 there would be either 1 or 2 pipes. Flow readings are only taken from a pipe when the relevant pipe s flow sensor is disabled (See Appendix B for details on Programmable Functions.) In normal operation, the flow readings read between 55-70%. Regardless of the pipe layout used, the flow reading is set to this level during initial power-up. Figure 2-7 shows sample results. Figure 2-7. Laser Chamber Output P/N 33-308100-004 2-5 September 2009

Status and Informational Displays 2-1.2.1.4 Relays WARNING The detector MUST be isolated at the fire panel before carrying out this test. It should not function. AIR-Intelligence cannot take responsibility for problems caused by running the relay test where the unit has not been isolated from the fire panel. An unintentional output to a fire panel could activate fire alarms and fire suppression systems, resulting in personal injury or death. If it is necessary to check the connection through to the fire panel, ensure that sprinklers, gas drops, automatic fire brigade call-outs, etc., are disabled before running the test. The Relays button allows the detector Alarm and Fault relays and LEDs to be tested for correct functionality. This test activates any alarms or extinguishing apparatus controlled by the fire panel to which the detector is connected. After selecting the <Relays> button, the Relay test screen appears (see Figure 2-8). Figure 2-8. Relay Test Screen Selecting any of these boxes will activate the relevant detector relay. In the case of ASD-160H and ASD-320 detectors, some of these relays are only available using an addon relay card. The relevant alarm or fault indication will be sent to a connected Command Module and through an attached APIC card to a connected addressable fire panel. To exit the test, click the <Close> button. If latching alarms or faults are set, the Detector will need to be reset to clear the alarm or fault condition. In the case of ASD-160H and ASD-320 Detectors, some of these relays are only available on an add-on relay card). 2-1.2.1.5 Save As; Print; Close; Help Select <Save As...>, <Print>, and <Close> to save or print the contents of the Diagnostics main test window (see Figure 2-3) or close the Diagnostics main test window.

Status and Informational Displays 2. Chart Information screen: Displays chart information for the time period at which the mouse pointer is pointing. Moving the mouse pointer (3) to the left reads earlier data and vice versa. At the time period indicated in Figure 2-9, the Alarm Level is 32% and the Detector output level is 10.5%. 3. Mouse pointer: Points to the time period for the data reported in the Chart Information screen. 4. and 5. Detector Output and Alarm Level: The Detector output (called out in Figure 2-9 as 4 ) is stable, while the alarm level (called out in Figure 2-9 as 5 ) is rising. This indicates that the ambient smoke level is low and steady. The expected output level of the Detector in absolutely clean air is in the range of 9-11%. CAUTION Readings below 9% may indicate that the Detector is becoming contaminated by dust and should be serviced. Very low readings indicate a problem with the Detector. Readings above the clean air range are common in normal working environments, and the alarm level will adjust itself to the normal ambient level of pollution in the protected area. The falling alarm trace coupled with a steady output indicates that the Detector is undergoing the 24-hour learning period following a FastLearn TM. When the Detector output level trace meets or climbs above the alarm level, a fire alarm is generated. The chart recording can be used to gauge the appropriateness of the ClassiFire alarm factor to the protected area. (See Appendix C for further details.) Where the background pollution level is steady (such as an electronics cleanroom), the installer may choose a low alarm factor. If, however, the chart recording shows large variations in background level, which often approach the alarm level, the installer may decide to set a higher alarm factor to avoid nuisance alarms (See Section 3-2.3.4 in Chapter 3 for details on how to set the alarm factor). 2-1.3.2 CHART RECORDING SCROLL BARS The scroll bars at the bottom of the Chart Recording screen allow you to scroll backwards and forwards through the chart recording to see areas of the chart which are off-screen. The actual time duration captured in a full chart recording depends on the recording rate chosen, a smaller time period between divisions resulting in a more detailed chart of shorter overall time span. When the overall chart period is exceeded, the earlier readings are discarded. Chart Recording can hold 2000 samples with 10 samples to a division. For example, a chart recording with a 10-second per division recording rate would cover a maximum time period of about 5 hours, 15 minutes. A 20-minute recording rate would capture a period of 2 days, 19 hours. 2-1.3.3 CHART RECORDING MENU OPTIONS This section discusses the commands in the Chart Recording menu. 2-1.3.3.1 File The File commands in the Chart Recording drop-down menus are shown in Figure 2-10 and Table 2-4.

Figure 2-16. Sample Histograph Screen with Alarm Factor 0 Unlike the chart recording, the histogram updates in real time, showing the response of the detector to smoke tests. The smoke histogram is shown to the left of the labeled fire flags. In a relatively clean or stable area, the histogram should be narrow, consisting of only a few bars as shown in Figure 2-16. The histogram is in two parts: A blue fast histogram shows the current smoke distribution. The blue histogram covers a period of the last 15 minutes, and is responsible for generating fire alarms. A yellow slow histogram. The yellow histogram reacts far more slowly than the blue histogram, and is responsible for the positioning of the fire alarm flags, based on the longterm variation in smoke density and the chosen ClassiFire alarm factor. As smoke is introduced, the fast histogram, shown in blue, will begin to move to the right of the screen, and the detector output level shown at the bottom of the screen will begin to increase. When the histogram crosses one of the alarm flags, the detector will generate that alarm. September 2009 2-14 P/N 33-308100-004

Status and Informational Displays In the example shown in Figure 2-16, the Pre-Alarm, Fire 1, and AUX alarm flags are close together due to the chosen alarm factor of 0 (very high sensitivity). The Fire 2 alarm flag is based on absolute sensitivity rather than Detector output, and is at a considerable distance from the main alarm flags. Figure 2-17 shows a sample histograph screen where flags are farther apart because the alarm factor is set to 1. Figure 2-17. Sample Histograph Screen with Alarm Factor 1 The information shown at the top center of the screen is as follows: Table 2-9.

Configuring Options CHAPTER 3 CONFIGURING OPTIONS 3-1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes how to configure the following categories of functions remotely on Detectors and the Command Module using the Remote Configuration Software: Device settings Communications settings Global Reset Language You can access these functions via the Options menu (as shown in Figure 3-1). Figure 3-1. Accessing Programmable Functions Via the Options Menu 3-2 DEVICE SETTINGS Selecting the Device Settings option from the Options menu option has the same effect as clicking the Device Settings icon: which opens the main programmable function selector (shown in Figure 3-3). 3-2.1 Access Code Before you can modify any programmable functions, you must enter an access code (as shown in Figure 3-2). Figure 3-2. Enter Access Code Screen P/N 33-308100-004 3-1 September 2009

Configuring Options Note: As a default, the access code is set to 0102, but may be changed to any four-digit code to render the devices secure from unauthorized access. Enter the access code and click <Enter>. After you enter the access code, the program allows you to access to all devices with the same access code as long as the program is running. To prevent unauthorized access, close the program after you finished using it. Depending on the device selected (Command Module, ASD Detectors), one of the screens is displayed (as shown in Figure 3-3). In the event of a forgotten password, power down the detector and remove the memory jumper (marked LK1 on the upper surface of the Command Module and ASD-640 main circuit boards, and inside next to the battery on the underside of ASD-160H and/or ASD-320 main circuit boards) Wait 30 seconds, place jumper back into proper position and power up the unit. This will reset the code to its default password, which is 0102. 3-2.2 Opening Screens Figure 3-3. Device Setting Opening Screen - Command Module Figure 3-4.

Configuring Options Figure 3-5. Device Setting Opening Screen - ASD-320 The front page of the Function Settings module is the Device Information screen (shown in Figure 3-3) which contains the following information: Table 3-1. Device Information Screen Options Option Device type Firmware version Watchdog count Run-time hours Device text The type of detector or Command Module. Function Revision number of the main software chip within the device. Each unit contains a watchdog, which detects momentary interruptions to the power supply to the unit. If this is above 0, it may indicate a problem in the power supply or wiring. A watchdog trip generates a fault condition, so the times and dates of watchdog faults can be seen in the detector s event log. The length of time in hours that the unit has been running since initial power-up. It is not reset by powering down the unit, but may be reset by removing and replacing a detector s memory reset link. Can be edited to any alphanumeric text of 16 characters or less. In the case of a unit with LCD display, it is the default legend displayed on the LCD panel when the unit is operating normally. It is also displayed on a connected Command Module in the case of alarm or fault. It is probably most useful to set the device text for a Detector to the name of the area being protected, for example Computer room, Stores etc. When this text string appears in the Device Information screen, the Remote Configuration Software is communicating properly with the Detector. To access the sub-pages for a device type, click on the tabs at the top of the screen. All subpages in the Function Settings module have common function settings at the bottom of the screen as follows (see Figure 3-6): P/N 33-308100-004 3-3 September 2009

Configuring Options Figure 3-6. Common Settings for Device Setting Sub-pages The drop-down box on the left allows selection of the unit to which the programmable functions will apply. The very top of the list reads Command Module, and the rest of the list runs from Detector 001 to Detector 127 to allow you to select the settings for any Detector in the network. Use the options at the bottom of the screen to perform various functions as shown in Table 3-2: Table 3-2. Common Device Settings for Device Setting Sub-Pages Option Function Sends all modified settings to the selected detector and closes the Function Settings screen. Select this when you have completed changing settings. <OK> Modified (checkbox) <Cancel> If Save All is selected, clicking <OK> sends all modified settings to all detectors, where that function is applicable to the detector. Note: Command Module function settings need to be performed separately. If you select the Modified checkbox, it means that only settings which have been modified will be sent to the detector(s). Clearing the checkbox sends all programmable functions applicable to the current detector to all other detectors on the loop. If you wish to set up all detectors on the loop to have identical settings (regardless of their current settings), change any settings that you wish to apply, select Save All, de-select the Modified checkbox and click <OK>. All detectors will then be set to identical parameters. Exits the Function Settings module without saving any changes. 3-2.3 Device Setting Functions You can modify the Device Setting functions for each device. Not all device settings are applicable to each device. For example, Pager device setting only applies to the Command Module and not the ASD Detectors. The following sections describe the functions accessible through the Device Settings tabs. 3-2.3.1 MATRIXSCAN The MatrixScan device settings apply only to Command Modules. MatrixScan allows you to set up virtual detectors. If the sampling pipework of two detectors shares a common location (for example, two detectors have sampling holes in the same area), these detectors can be assigned a virtual detector number. This virtual detector generates an alarm at the Command Module when both real detectors pick up smoke at the same time. Therefore, with only two detectors, zone localization is available from a large number of protected areas. September 2009 3-4 P/N 33-308100-004

The virtual detectors are assigned in the MatrixScan screen (see Figure 3-7). Configuring Options Figure 3-7. MatrixScan Screen In the example shown in Figure 3-7, detector address 1 has common sampling locations with detectors 2 and 3, and detector 2 also has a common sampling location with detector 4. The MatrixScan screen contains the following checkboxes: Table 3-3. MatrixScan Screen Checkboxes Checkbox Function Enable Enables virtual detectors when the box is selected, as shown in Figure 3-7. Base Address All cells and No cells The address of the lowest-numbered real detector in the loop. In Figure 3-7, the base address is 001. The MatrixScan function requires that you enter a base address. Respectively, selects and clears all the cells. 15 real detectors can be used in a MatrixScan network, leaving 105 possible virtual detectors. The MatrixScan screen limits the choice of detector address as follows: Real detectors are assigned addresses in the range 001-015 Virtual detector addresses are assigned in the range 016 to 105. Real detector addresses in this range will clash with the virtual detector addresses, causing problems. However, unused virtual addresses may be used for other real detectors which are not part of the MatrixScan network. P/N 33-308100-004 3-5 September 2009

Configuring Options Note: Address 000 is reserved for a network s Command Module, and cannot be used for a detector. The number of virtual detectors available for a given number of real detectors using MatrixScan can be calculated by the following formula: Figure 3-8. Number of Possible Virtual Detectors for All Available Real Detectors. Table 3-4 shows maximum numbers of virtual detectors produced by using the above formula with values of real detectors from 2 to 15. Fifteen is the limit of real detectors in a system using MatrixScan, due to the fact that 105 virtual detectors + 15 real detectors is 120 detector addresses, and the maximum number of addresses available on a single network loop is 127.

Configuring Options Figure 3-9. Alarm Actions Function Settings Screen 3-2.3.2.1 Remote Input Functions The Remote Input functions allow various functions to be carried out manually by shorting the relevant remote inputs in the unit (for example, by using a key switch or relay). No electrical power should be applied to the inputs. The ASD-640 Detector and Command Module have three dedicated remote inputs, marked I/ P 1 to I/P 3. The standard ASD-160H and ASD-320 do not have remote inputs, but you can fit an add-on relay/input card to it, which provides this remote input functionality. On the ASD-160H and ASD-320 the same inputs are assigned as 1, 2 and 3. An add-on card can also be added to a ASD-640, providing three additional remote inputs, which are assigned as remote input numbers 4, 5, and 6. The Remote Input box contains checkboxes which enables the function. To the left of the checkboxes are numerical input boxes, which accepts values in the range 1 to 3 (ASD-160H or ASD-320), or 1 to 6 (ASD-640) with relay/input card fitted. This number corresponds to the relevant input terminals on the Detector unit. 1 corresponds to input I/P 1 on the unit, 2 corresponds to input ( I/P 2 and so on). Note: The same input number cannot be used more than once, to ensure that the devices have unique input numbers. 3-2.3.2.2 Function Settings Checkboxes The Alarm Actions Function Settings screen contains the following checkboxes: P/N 33-308100-004 3-7 September 2009

Configuring Options Table 3-5. Alarm Actions Function Settings Screen Checkboxes Checkbox Remote Isolate Remote Reset Remote day/night Programmed Isolate Function When used on a Command Module, Remote Isolate disables the Command Module relays, but does not disable detector communications. On a detector, the unit is effectively removed from the communications loop. Resets latching alarms and fault LEDs, relays, and LCD display messages. Only applies to detectors. Shorting the selected input terminal toggles the detector between day /night setting. This is useful, for example, when working hours in an area are irregular. The remote day/night could be activated when the last person leaves the area. Remote day/night overrides any timed day/night settings set in the Day/night switching panel of the Remote Configuration Software, which means that the detector will only switch between day and night settings when commanded on the remote input, regardless of any preset switch-over time. When selected, Programmed Isolate prevents the detector from sending any alarm or fault condition to a connected fire panel. The Fault LED will light on the detector front panel while it is isolated. You can use the Programmed Isolate function to prevent unwanted alarms or faults during testing, maintenance or repair. The Programmed Isolate function automatically disables itself after 7 days if it has not been manually disabled. WARNING Latching alarms When applied to a Command Module, the Programmed Isolate function disables the Command Module fire and fault relays, but does not disable any APIC communications. The function differs from the front panel isolate in that pressing the enabled <ISOL> button generates a fault at the panel, whereas Programmed Isolate does not. For this reason, Programmed Isolate must be used carefully and disabled as soon as possible. Failure to disable the Programmed Isolate could impact the functionality of the unit, potentially resulting in property damage or personal injury. When cleared (disabled), any alarm condition will clear itself when the fire condition ends. When checked (enabled), the alarm condition persists until the detector or Command Module is reset, either from the detector front LCD panel (if fitted), from the Command Module front panel, or from the remote software. Note: A reset from the front panel requires that the <RESET> button be enabled; the button is disabled by default. In units fitted with an LCD (ASD-640 Standard Detector, Command Module), latching alarms are enabled by default. In units without an LCD (ASD-160H and ASD-320 only), latching alarms are disabled by default. CAUTION Latching faults If latching alarms are disabled at the detector but enabled at the Command Module, then any alarm condition still requires a Command Module reset to clear the alarm from the fire panel. When cleared (disabled), any fault condition clears itself when the fault condition ends. When selected (enabled), the fault condition persists until the detector or Command Module is reset, either from the detector front LCD panel (if available), from the Command Module front panel, or from the Remote Configuration Software software.

Table 3-5. Alarm Actions Function Settings Screen Checkboxes (Continued) Configuring Options Checkbox CAUTION Cascading alarms Function A reset from the front panel requires that the <RESET> button be enabled; the button is disabled by default for all units. If latching faults are disabled at the detector but enabled at the Command Module, then any fault condition will still need a Command Module reset to clear the fault from the fire panel. When cleared (disabled), the detector starts to count down the Fire 1 alarm delay once it has generated a Pre-Alarm. The Pre-Alarm and Fire 1 alarm delays are cumulative. The Cascading alarms function is enabled by default. 3-2.3.3 TIME AND DATE The Time and Date device settings apply to detectors and Command Modules. Figure 3-10 shows the Time and Date function settings screen for a Detector device ( Detector 001 ). Figure 3-10.

The Time and Date function does not automatically update for Daylight Saving Time or other changes of local time. You must update the Real Time Clock settings periodically, or you must make allowances for the time difference when reviewing data. Note: When installing a detector, the clock may need to be set to correct local time. The date and time can be set by one of the following methods: Incrementing or decrementing each value (hours, minutes, day, month, or year) by clicking the up or down arrows to the right of each display box P/N 33-308100-004 3-9 September 2009

Figure 3-11 shows the Alarm Levels and Delays function settings screen for a Detector device ( Detector 001 ). Figure 3-11. Alarm Levels and Delays Function Settings Screen For each of the detector s fire alarm levels (Pre-Alarm, Fire 1, Fire 2 and Aux) there are numerical boxes for Level and Delay: 3-2.3.4.1 Level (For Pre-Alarm, Fire 1 and Aux) Corresponds to the relatively-scaled level that needs to be reached on the detector s bar graph display (if fitted) or on an attached Command Module or Remote Display Unit s bargraph display. The Fire 2 alarm level is in terms of absolutely scaled % obscuration/meter from 1% to 25%. September 2009 3-10 P/N 33-308100-004

Configuring Options Figure 3-12 shows a bargraph display from a an ASD-640 and illustrates the concept. Absolute level (1-25% obs/ m) Relatively scaled level (1-10) Figure 3-12. Bargraph Display from an ASD-640 3-2.3.4.2 Delay Relatively Scaled (yellow portion of the scale): The absolute value of a reading on the relatively scaled yellow portion of the bargraph will depend upon the ClassiFire Alarm factor chosen, and the level of ambient pollution that the detector has accepted as a normal background level as part of the ClassiFire learning routine. In normal conditions, the yellow bargraph does not show any indication, so that the bargraph is an indicator of abnormal conditions only. You can set the relatively scaled alarm levels to the following range of bargraph levels: Pre-Alarm: 3-8 (default 6). Pre-Alarm always appears before the main Fire 1 alarm Fire 1: 8-10 (default 8). Pre-Alarm and Fire 1 can be set to the same level if particularly early warning is not required. Aux: 2-10 (default 10). The Aux level may be set below PreAlarm for very early warning, or above Fire 1 for a highlevel alarm confirmation. Absolutely Scaled (red portion of the scale): A reading on the red portion of the bargraph (Fire 2 bargraph) does not depend upon the ClassiFire alarm factor. It is a direct numerical measure of the concentration of smoke seen at the detector in terms of % obscuration/meter. Theoretically, if the learned background smoke level was very high and the detector was set to very insensitive, the detector could display a reading on the red Fire 2 bar graph before it showed anything on the relatively scaled yellow Pre-Alarm/Fire 1/Aux bar graph. This is the time in seconds that a detector needs to continuously sense a given alarm level before an alarm warning is given. The acceptable range is 0 through 90 seconds. This is useful in an area which generates a lot of smoke spikes as a part of normal working (for example, a furnace which releases smoke when the door is opened). In very clean areas, the installer may decide that the delay can be set to 0. P/N 33-308100-004 3-11 September 2009

Configuring Options 3-2.3.4.3 Alarm Factor The ClassiFire system statistically analyzes the background smoke level and sets detector sensitivity to a level giving a statistical probability of nuisance alarm. The software assesses the arithmetic mean and variance (standard deviation) of the normal ambient smoke level and places the alarm flags at a certain number of standard deviations from the mean of the distribution. The number of standard deviations at which the alarm flag is set away from the mean is directly proportional to the ClassiFire Alarm factor chosen. The probability of nuisance alarm and the maximum detector sensitivity are higher when a low level of alarm factor is chosen and lower as the alarm factor is increased. A low alarm factor, equating to very high sensitivity, may be desirable in the case of, for example, a high-value computer center, or other application where the cost of down-time and call-out costs may be offset by the high value of the protected installation. On the other hand, this will not be desirable in an environment with very variable levels of background smoke. In this case, it may be more important to ensure that an elevated level of smoke really does indicate an incipient fire before alarms are raised. In summary, a low alarm factor equates to high sensitivity and higher probability of nuisance alarm, and a high alarm factor gives a lower maximum sensitivity and correspondingly reduced probability of nuisance alarm. The probability of nuisance alarm for a given environment also depends on the stability of the background smoke level. For example, a semiconductor clean room may have a strictlycontrolled environment so that it is unlikely that smoke level will vary by chance. Under these circumstances, a low alarm factor may not imply a radically increased probability of nuisance alarm. The detector sensitivity is set by entering a value of 0 through 18 into the Alarm factor numerical box. The default is set to 4. Refer to Table 3-6 for suggested settings. Table 3-6. Suggested Settings for ClassiFire Alarm Factor Alarm Factor Sensitivity Probability of Nuisance Alarm Suggested Protected Area 0 Extremely High Once per year Semiconductor manufacturing clean room 1 High Once per 5 years Computer room 2 High Once per 10 years Non-smoking office 3 High Once per 50 years Clean factory 4 Medium Once per 1,000 years Warehouse 5 Medium Once per 5,000 years Warehouse with diesel trucks operating 6 Medium Once per 10,000 years Warehouse with diesel trucks operating 7 Low Once per 20,000 years Warehouse with diesel trucks operating 8 Low Once per 100,000 years Warehouse with diesel trucks operating 3-2.3.4.4 ClassiFire override There may be occasions on which a sudden increase in smoke does not necessarily indicate a fire condition. Examples are the release of incense during a church mass and the opening of a September 2009 3-12 P/N 33-308100-004

Configuring Options furnace door in a factory. Under these kinds of circumstance it is not desirable for the detector to generate a fire alarm. ClassiFire Override will desensitize the detector by a specified amount when a pair of remote contacts are shorted. In the case of a furnace door being opened, this could be performed automatically by an interlock switch on the door, or it could be achieved with a simple on/off switch. Where the smoke-generating event has a definite length and time of occurrence, the event could be on a time switch. All that is required is that the relevant input terminals on the detector are shorted together. The figure entered into the ClassiFire Override box is the percentage of full-scale detector output by which the alarm flags will be shifted when the contacts are shorted. For example, if set to a value of 35%, a detector with an alarm level of 20% would have this changed to 55% when the function was activated. On the ASD-160H or ASD-320, ClassiFire Override may only be used when the Detector is fitted with an optional relay/input card, and the function is reserved for Input 3 on the card. On the ASD-640, the default ClassiFire Override contacts are the I/P 3 terminals inside the Detector. As a special case, however, when the ASD-640 is fitted with an APIC card which includes remote input terminals, ClassiFire Override can be set to use one of the remote terminals on the APIC card by entering a value into the ClassiFire Override box of over 100%. ClassiFire Override values of 001 099% act on the default input terminal 3, but a value of 120% would give an override percentage of 20% on APIC card input 1 (if resent), 227% would give an override percentage of 27% on APIC card input 2, and so on. 3-2.3.4.5 LDD TM enable LDD stands for Laser Dust Discrimination. This function is enabled by default and it causes the detector to ignore brief, isolated increases in detector output such as spurious readings from ambient dust particles. In very clean areas, such as semiconductor clean rooms, it may be disabled to gain a small improvement in response time. 3-2.3.4.6 FastLearn TM enable If the detector is in FastLearn mode when the screen is opened, this function will be selected (enabled). If cleared (disabled), then selecting this box will start a FastLearn. In a similar manner, clearing the box stops a FastLearn that is currently in progress. Note: Stopping a FastLearn operation will prevent the detector from reaching its optimum sensitivity. The detector must be put through another FastLearn cycle and left for 24 hours to regain full sensitivity. 3-2.3.4.7 Auto FastLearn enable When selected (enabled), this function starts a new FastLearn sequence each time the detector is powered down and re-started. This is the default setting, and it ensures that the detector is set to the optimum sensitivity if it is moved to another location. However, if the detector is left in the same location and powered down, (for example, for maintenance purposes) the function can be cleared so that the detector sensitivity is unchanged when the detector is powered up again.

Configuring Options 3-2.3.4.8 ClassiFire 3D When selected, this feature assesses the rate of increase of smoke in the protected area. When the level of smoke rises too quickly, ClassiFire will ignore any time delays before generating alarms. This means that fire damage is minimized if a fire starts when long alarm delays are set. 3-2.3.4.9 Demo mode In normal use, the detector carries out a 15-minute FastLearn operation, during which time it cannot signal a fire alarm. It then takes a further 24 hours to reach full operational sensitivity. Demonstration (Demo) Mode causes the detector to estimate its final sensitivity as soon as FastLearn is finished (omitting the 24-hour learning period), so that smoke response testing may be carried out as part of detector commissioning. Checking this box only starts Demo Mode if the unit is in FastLearn. It has no effect at any other time. Note: The detector sensitivity will not be set to its optimum level in Demo Mode. The detector must be put through another FastLearn cycle and left for 24 hours to regain full sensitivity after testing in Demo Mode. 3-2.3.5 FLOW MONITORING The Flow Monitoring device settings apply only to detectors. Figure 3-13 shows the Flow Monitoring function settings screen for a Detector device ( Detector 001 ). Figure 3-13. ASD-640, ASD-320, and ASD-160H Flow Monitoring Function Settings Screen You can modify the following Flow Monitoring function settings as described in Table 3-7: September 2009 3-14 P/N 33-308100-004

Configuring Options Table 3-7. Flow Monitoring Function Settings Setting Flow rate Enable sensor Aspirator speed Function The current airflow rate for each sampling pipe. Note: The flow figure is not an absolute measure of airflow. It is automatically set up on initial power-up of the unit so that it can take account of the normal flow present in the sampling pipe network. This normal airflow is then set to read in the region of 55 to 75% to give adequate headroom for the flow sensors to register blocked or broken sampling pipes, regardless of the flow restriction in the pipe network. This feature is only available on the ASD-640. Clearing the box disables the relevant flow sensor. On a system utilizing less than four pipes, it is recommended that the flow sensors be disabled for the unused pipes. This feature is only available on the ASD-640. This may be reduced to lessen fan noise and power consumption, or increased to improve smoke response time. Note: Care should be taken that any reduction in fan speed does not increase detector response time outside the limits imposed by NFPA standards or other applicable codes or standards. For example, the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) requires a worstcase smoke response time of 120 seconds. Aspirator speed should not be set outside the limits required by relevant legislation. 3-2.3.6 POWER MONITORING The Power Monitoring device settings apply only to detectors. Figure 3-14 shows the Power Monitoring function settings screen for a Detector device ( Detector 001 ). Figure 3-14. Power Monitoring Function Settings Screen P/N 33-308100-004 3-15 September 2009

Configuring Options You can modify the following Power Monitoring function settings as described in Table 3-8: Table 3-8. Power Monitoring Function Settings Setting Auto power save Mains check Battery check Function When selected (enabled), the detector reduces fan speed to a minimum, regardless of preset aspirator speed, when an attached power supply fails. This reduces current draw, in order to increase battery life. Any increase of smoke above three bargraph segments on the detector will disable the feature. Note: The function may need to be disabled if minimum fan speed causes the detector to exceed smoke response time requirements set by relevant national and international approvals bodies. Use the Mains check function when the detector is connected to a power supply with integral fault relay. The power supply fault relay is connected to one of the detector s remote inputs and the relevant input number is entered into the numerical box next to the function (reading 0 in Figure 3-14). When the Mains check box is selected, the detector will generate a fault condition when the power supply indicates a fault. The function is disabled by default. Use the Battery check function when the detector is connected to a power supply with backup batteries and an integral battery fault relay. The power supply battery fault relay is connected to one of the detector s remote inputs and the relevant input number is entered into the numerical box next to the function (reading 1 in Figure 3-14 above, indicating input I/P 1 ). When Battery check is selected, the detector will generate a fault condition when the power supply indicates a battery fault. The function is enabled on I/P 1 by default, as shown in Figure 3-14. If backup batteries are not to be used, the function should be disabled to prevent the detector generating a battery fault. 3-2.3.7 FRONT PANEL The Front Panel device settings apply only to units with an integral LCD front panel. ASD-640 Standard Detector and the Command Module have integral LCD front panels. ASD-160H and ASD-320 Detectors do not have a front panel display.

Front Panel Function Settings Setting Function When selected (enabled), pressing the <RESET> button on the front of the detector resets any latched faults or alarms on the detector. The function is disabled by default. Reset button enable Test button enable Isolate button enable Notes: 1. You may be violating national or international safety regulations by leaving the <RESET> button permanently enabled. 2. If the fault or alarm reappears after pressing an enabled <RESET> button, then the fault or alarm condition still exists. When selected (enabled), pressing the <TEST> button on the front of the detector starts a test of all LEDs on the front of the unit and displays the current detector sensitivity. The function is enabled by default. When selected (enabled), pressing the <ISOL> button on the front of the detector prevents the unit from signaling alarms. Use the <ISOL> button to prevent fire alarms at the fire panel while carrying out smoke sensitivity tests (for example, during commissioning). The unit will generate a fault. The Isolate button enable function is disabled by default. Note: You may be violating national or international safety regulations by leaving the <ISOL> button permanently enabled.

Configuring Options 3-2.3.8 DAY/NIGHT SWITCHING The Day/Night Switching device settings apply only to detector units and not the Command Module. Figure 3-16 shows the Day/Night Switching function settings screen for a Detector device ( Detector 001 ). Figure 3-16. Day/Night Switching Function Settings Screen The ClassiFire software allows for two separate sensitivity histograms, one for active and one for inactive periods. For convenience, these are referred to as Day and Night settings. At times specified in this function, the detector will switch between the two histograms. This will make the detector more sensitive during inactive (Night) periods, when the ambient smoke density is less, and less sensitive during the active periods (Day) when smoke density is higher. Both histograms are optimized to the working environment, and they are automatically set up during the initial 24-hour learning period. For this function to work correctly, the detector s internal clock must be set to local time. The software automatically compensates for one-hour changes in local time (for example, the start of Daylight Saving Time). You can modify the following Day/Night Switching function settings as described in Table 3-10: September 2009 3-18 P/N 33-308100-004

Configuring Options Table 3-10. Day/Night Switching Function Settings Setting Day start Night start Disable day/night switching Function Makes the detector less sensitive during active periods (Day) when smoke density is higher. Makes the detector more sensitive during inactive periods (Night) when smoke density is lower. Where there is no distinction between active and inactive periods (such as a factory operating on a 24-hour basis or in a climate-controlled microelectronics clean room), select (enable) the Disable day/night switching box to stop the switch-over function. Day/night switching may be carried out manually by assigning one of the remote terminals in the detector or on an input/relay card. (See Section 1-9.1 for details.) 3-2.3.9 REFERENCING The Referencing device settings only apply to detector units and not to the Command Module. Figure 3-17 shows the Referencing function settings screen for a Detector device ( Detector 003 ). Figure 3-17. Referencing Function Settings Screen There may be occasions when external pollution enters a protected area and it is undesirable to generate a fire alarm, such as smoke from an external furnace entering the open doors of a factory. A reference detector can be used to back-off such a spurious external smoke reading to prevent detectors inside the protected area from generating unwanted alarm signals. Any detector in a network may be set as a reference detector. You can modify the following Referencing function settings as described in Table 3-11: P/N 33-308100-004 3-19 September 2009

Configuring Options Table 3-11. Referencing Function Settings Screen Setting Reference detector Function This is the address (as set on the detector s internal DIP switch) of the detector to be used as a reference. This is the percentage of the reference detector s output signal to be subtracted from the detector. The default value is 0. The Reference Level function reflects the fact that smoke seen at a reference detector may be diluted by the time it reaches the smoke detector. Reference level Reference back-off Reference enable For example, smoke might be diluted by 75% by the time it reaches a smoke detector. Under these circumstances, you should subtract 25% of the reference signal from the detector. Therefore, if the nuisance smoke causes an increase in signal at the reference of 10% full-scale output, setting the reference level to 25% will subtract 2.5% detector output from the smoke detector. This means that any rise in smoke over and above this 2.5% level is probably due to a genuine fire condition in the protected area. This is the time delay in minutes before smoke seen at the reference detector is seen at the detector. The default setting is 15 minutes. The Reference Back-off value reflects the fact that it may take time for smoke seen at the reference detector to reach the smoke detector. Selecting this box enables the reference detector. The box is cleared by default. To implement the referencing function: 1. Select the smoke detector to use as a reference detector. 2. Perform a smoke test. 3. Using the histogram screen, note the maximum output level reached by the reference detector. 4. Select the address of the smoke detector in the histogram screen. 5. Note the time interval before the detector output level begins to rise and the maximum smoke detector output level is reached. 6. Divide the increase in output level at the detector by the increase seen at the reference detector. 7. Enter this fraction as a percentage into the Reference Level function. 8. Enter the time delay into the Reference Back-off function. 9. Enter the address of the reference detector into the Reference Detector function and select (enable) the Reference Enable box. The reference system is now enabled. The unit will then begin a FastLearn, followed by a 24-hour learning period in order to optimize the system. 3-2.3.10 MISCELLANEOUS The Miscellaneous device settings apply only to detector units and not the Command Module.

Miscellaneous Function Settings Setting Access code Function Set by default to 0102. You can change the Access code function to any 4- digit number to prevent unauthorized modifications to detector functions. Once the code is set, the new 4-digit code is required for a user to access the Remote Configuration Software function settings page or to program the detector from a Command Module or the detector s front panel (if fitted appropriately). Sets the resolution of the detector s chart recording. The shorter the interval selected, the greater the resolution, but the shorter the period covered by a full chart. The chart recording can capture 2000 samples before it begins to overwrite the older entries. Chart recording rate A variety of preset recording intervals is available from the drop-down list, from 10 seconds/division to 500 mins/division, recording detector level and alarm level. The same set of preset values is available with the suffix air flow. In these cases, the chart recording captures the flow rate instead of the alarm level. Changing the chart recording period clears the current chart recording, as does powering down and removing and replacing the memory backup link. However, normal power-downs will not clear the current chart recording. P/N 33-308100-004 3-21 September 2009

Configuring Options Table 3-12. Miscellaneous Function Settings (Continued) Setting Separator condition Separator change date Factory default Function The detector continuously monitors the condition of the dust separator (filter cartridge). You cannot edit the value displayed in this box. After a period of time, the separator begins to fill with dust and reduces the amount of smoke reaching the detector. The ClassiFire system compensates for such dust loading, reducing the figure in the Separator condition box as it does so. A new filter will read 99 and the software will automatically generate a Separator renew fault when the separator condition figure reaches 80. On a site with many detectors, it may be more convenient to change all the dust separator filters at a planned interval (for example, during site maintenance). Entering a date in the Separator change date field generates a Separator renew fault on this date, regardless of the actual condition of the dust separator. However, if the filter becomes clogged before this date, a Separator renew fault will still be generated. Selecting (enabling) the Factory default box and selecting <OK> resets all programmable functions to their default settings. 3-3 COMMUNICATIONS SETTINGS If you select the Communications Settings feature in the Options menu, it brings up the same Communication Settings screen that opens when the Remote Configuration Software is started.

Device Address Table APPENDIX A DEVICE ADDRESS TABLE A-1 DEVICE ADDRESS TABLE In order to identify itself to the Command Module or fire panel, each detector needs to have a unique address ranging from 1 to 127. The detector address is simply set on the DIP switch SW1 at the bottom left of the opened detector on the main circuit board. The switch settings are UP position for 1 and DOWN position for 0. The detector address is set as a 7-bit binary code (switch 8 equates to a value of 128 and so is outside the usable address range). Figure A-1 shows some sample DIP switch settings. The address equates to 01100011 in binary, or: (1 x 1) + (1 x 2) + (0 x 4) + (0 x 8) + (0 x 16) + (1 x 32) + (1 x 64) + (0 x 128) = 99 ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Figure A-1.

The ClassiFire System APPENDIX C THE CLASSIFIRE SYSTEM C-1 ABOUT CLASSIFIRE ClassiFire is the patented artificial intelligence system for the ASD-640 line of Aspirating Smoke Detectors that continually monitors the environment and internal contamination and automatically adjusts sensitivity to the optimum level. ClassiFire automatically adjusts sensitivity to suit day/night or operational/non-operational levels with no need for external input. ClassiFire automatically sets up the detector to the normal working environment so the detector sensitivity is optimized for its surroundings. ASD-640 detectors are fully automatic and do not need manual adjustment. C-1.1 The Detector Levels The FIRE level always appears at level 8 on the display bargraph, as shown below in Figure C-1: Figure C-1. ClassiFire Alarm Indicator An additional user-definable AUX level can be set to any position on the bar graph from Level 1 to Level 10 as shown in Figure C-2. (See Section 3-2.3.4 for details on how to set the AUX level). P/N 33-308100-004 C-1 September 2009

The ClassiFire System Figure C-2. The AUX Alarm Level A user-defined Pre-Alarm level can also be used when early warning is required (as shown in Figure C-3). (See Section 3-2.3.4 for details on how to set the Pre-Alarm level.) Figure C-3. The Pre-Alarm Level September 2009 C-2 P/N 33-308100-004

The ClassiFire System When the predetermined level of smoke is reached, the Fire Alarm is activated (as shown in Figure C-4). Figure C-4. Fire Alarm Activation A second Fire alarm level, Fire 2 Alarm, is provided. This level may be pre-programmed to provide an indication when it is required for a higher smoke density. This is typically used for the operation of automatic fire extinguishing systems. Note: Fire 2 is absolute sensitivity, not relative. C-1.2 Sensitivity Levels The alarm factor allows detectors to adapt to the working environment more or less closely, depending on the degree of protection required or the type of facility you want to protect. The following Alarm Factor settings give a starting point for the protection of a wide range of environments: Alarm Factor 0: clean rooms (highest sensitivity) Alarm Factor 1: computer rooms Alarm Factor 2: non-smoking offices Alarm Factor 3: clean factory Alarm Factor 4: warehouses Alarm Factor 5: warehouses with diesel trucks (lowest sensitivity) See Section 3-2.3.4 for details on setting Alarm Factor sensitivity levels. C-1.3 ClassiFire Operation ClassiFire considers the likelihood of a nuisance alarm being generated by normal operating conditions. Each of the six Alarm Factors balances the degree of protection required against the probability of a nuisance alarm. The calculated probability of nuisance alarm ranges from an average of one nuisance alarm per year (for Level 0) to one per 5000 years (for Level 5). The detector samples air once per second and passes information on the smoke density of each sample to ClassiFire. P/N 33-308100-004 C-3 September 2009

The ClassiFire System In a working environment, the density of smoke in the atmosphere continually varies. The detector needs to be able to discriminate between normal pollution caused by working activities and pollution cause by early signs of fire. ClassiFire sets and maintains sensitivity by continual statistical analysis of the data received. C-1.3.1 BUILDING A DISTRIBUTION PLOT ClassiFire builds a continually varying distribution plot of how the smoke density varies with time. For each sample taken, ClassiFire records the particle density, assigning each density recorded against a sample class and logs the number of sample in each class. Low and high values are rare. Most samples tend to cluster around the average level or the mean. Graphs which group samples into predefined classes are called histogram. ClassiFire divided the range of sampled smoke densities into 32 classes and counts the number of samples which fit into each category. The most recent data is considered most significant while older data has proportionately less significance. ClassiFire models the smoke densities against the normal distribution. For example, the normal distribution can be found in all continuously variable functions, such as the heights of a large group of men. However, if you drew a graph showing the number of men at each height (a histogram), after a while you would begin to see the histogram fill out until it begins to approximate a normal distribution. Figure C-5. A Normal Distribution of Men s Heights Figure C-6 shows the normal distribution curve of men s height. September 2009 C-4 P/N 33-308100-004

The ClassiFire System Figure C-6. A Normal Distribution Curve C-1.3.2 BUILDING A CLASSIFIRE HISTOGRAM DISTRIBUTION CURVE OF SMOKE DENSITY Figure C-7 demonstrates how ClassiFire builds a smoke density distribution curve by collecting data on smoke density. Figure C-7. Building a ClassiFire Smoke Density Distribution Curve (Histogram) Figure C-8 shows a distribution curve fully populated with smoke density data. P/N 33-308100-004 C-5 September 2009

The ClassiFire System Figure C-8. Fully Populated Distribution Curve Two basic concepts of statistical analysis of a normal distribution curve are: Mean level: The center of the distribution and the base around which probabilities are determined. Variance or spread of the distribution: Indicates the amount of spread in the distribution. If the mean changes but the variance remains constant, the shape of the plot remains the same (as shown in Figure C-9). Figure C-9. Mean Changes/Variance Remains Constant But the distribution curve moves along the axis as the level of smoke increases (as shown in Figure C-10). September 2009 C-6 P/N 33-308100-004

The ClassiFire System Figure C-10. Distribution Curve Moving Along Its Axis as Smoke Level Increases If the variance changes, but the main remains constant, the center of the curve stays in the same position but the width of the plot changes (as shown in Figure C-11). Figure C-11. Low Variance/Mean Constant P/N 33-308100-004 C-7 September 2009

The ClassiFire System Figure C-12 shows a moderate variance. Figure C-12. Moderate Variance Figure C-13 shows a high variance. Figure C-13. High Variance The plot can be broken down into blocks (classes) of equal width on either side of the mean. These blocks are called Standard Deviations (SD). The probability of a random event falling outside this area of the graph is the same for all normal distributions. The actual width of one SD depends on the variance, but one SD has the same statistical significance for any normal distribution. Most of the events within a normal distribution are within 3 SDs either side of the mean (+ one SD). Readings outside this range are likely to be non-random factors, such as the start of a fire. September 2009 C-8 P/N 33-308100-004

The ClassiFire System Figure C-14 shows one SD. Figure C-14. One Standard Deviation Figure C-15 shows two SDs. Figure C-15. Two Standard Deviations P/N 33-308100-004 C-9 September 2009

The ClassiFire System Figure C-16 shows two SDs. Figure C-16. Three Standard Deviations The probability of nuisance alarms caused by random events outside the zone of distribution shown in Figure C-16 is very small (since low readings can be ignored). Thus, ClassiFire can statistically base the sensitivity of the detector on the actual working environment. ClassiFire maintains the alarm levels at the appropriate number of SDs above the mean smoke level to provide the optimum level of protection required while maintaining nuisance alarms at a low and defined level. If the environment changes (such as day to night, air filtration or use of area varies), distribution, mean, and variance also change. ClassiFire continually updates the alarm levels to maintain the same position from the mean. This guarantees an unchanging level of protection by continuously varying the alarm parameters. C-1.3.3 FASTLEARN When a detector is first powered up, it automatically enters FastLearn TM mode for 15 minutes. This permits rapid approximation of normal smoke density. During the FastLearn period, there is insufficient data to set an accurately defined alarm level. After the 15-minute period, the detector has collected an approximation of the smoke distribution. This data is placed into a slow histogram to set up the initial alarm settings. ClassiFire initially places the alarm level several SDs from the mean reading to take into account the fact that the histogram is still being sparsely populated and narrow. C-1.3.4 INTERMEDIATE LEARN Over the next 24 hours, ClassiFire develops a histogram to represent the standard range of smoke pollutions in the normal operating environment. As more data is collected to cover nonworking periods, ClassiFire incorporates two types of histograms: Fast: Monitors short-term variation in smoke density Slow: Builds up over 24 hours to for a complete picture of the smoke density distribution for day and night (or active and inactive) periods. September 2009 C-10 P/N 33-308100-004

The ClassiFire System The Alarm level position is initially set well away from the mean to take into account the sparseness of the data (as shown in Figure C-17). Figure C-17. Initial Alarm Level Position When FastLearn has finished, the data on the smoke density becomes the basis for a long term histogram. The slowly updating histogram now takes over to form the basis future settings. As the histogram only has 15 minutes of data, ClassiFire begins to perform a more refined and detailed analysis. After 24 hours, the detector has enough data about the working environment and sets the alarm flag based on the level of protection required based on the distribution of data (as shown in Figure C-18). Figure C-18. The Alarm Flag After 24 Hours P/N 33-308100-004 C-11 September 2009

The ClassiFire System C-1.3.5 SENSITIVITY LEVELS Smoke levels will usually increase during the day. When the protected area is unoccupied, there may be lower levels than in working periods. If the detector sensitivity were set to a fixed figure, there may be unwanted alarms or delayed alarms at night. High sensitivity: Means maximum protection but a higher risk of nuisance alarms during working hours. Lower sensitivity: Protects against unwanted alarms during the day, but is not as effective at detecting the earliest signs of a fire. An ideal detector needs to be able to be pre-set to at least two different sensitivity levels to provide the optimum coverage. The ClassiFire Artificial Intelligence process does this automatically. ClassiFire uses two sets of histograms: Day: Reduces sensitivity for normal working practices and minimized the risk of nuisance alarms. Night: Increases sensitivity of lower smoke density during night or holiday shutdown periods, maximizing protection when the protected area is unoccupied. These two types of histograms are dynamically and continuously updated to ensure that alarm levels are optimally set. During the day, ClassiFire keeps the fire alarm flag out of the nuisance zone, a set number of SDs from the active histogram mean, based on the alarm factor chosen (as shown in Figure C-19). The fast histogram updates continually in the background and is shown dotted in blue for reference. The previous inactive histogram is maintained in the background and is shown in Figure C-19 dotted in yellow. Figure C-19. The Fast Histogram September 2009 C-12 P/N 33-308100-004

The ClassiFire System When work stops in the protected area and people leave, the smoke level starts to drop (as shown in Figure C-20). The fast histogram mean tracks the smoke level and begins to diverge from the active histogram mean, taking on new data at a sampling rate of once per second. The alarm setting remains based on the active histogram mean. Figure C-20. Dropping Smoke Level After Work Stops in the Protected Area As the active histogram reduces, it approaches the previous night s histogram mean. When the histogram mean has reached 2/3 of the distance towards the previous night s mean, ClassiFire checks to see if the time within +70 minutes of the programmed switch-over time (as shown in Figure C-21). Figure C-21. Histogram Reaches 2/3 of the Distance from the Previous Night s Mean P/N 33-308100-004 C-13 September 2009

The ClassiFire System If so, the inactive histogram immediately takes over and the alarm flag is repositioned based on this latest data. The previous active histogram is saved in the background to await the next changeover time, when the search process is repeated (as shown in Figure C-22). Figure C-22. Inactive Histogram Takes Over and Alarm Flag Repositioned If there is no smoke reduction measured within +70 minutes of the programmed time, ClassiFire stays with the currently selected slow histogram. That means that during weekends or holiday periods, the inactive histogram remains in force. The currently selected slow histogram is updated over the remainder of its active period so that the mean is always based on the most recent environment. In addition to detecting the change from active to inactive periods, ClassiFire also takes into account the time in which the change occurred. For example, if there is a change in working hours so that people leave at 6PM instead of 5PM, ClassiFire adjusts the changeover time by an amount proportional to the difference from the preset time. After a few days, the system switches over according to the new working times. Note: The larger the time difference, the larger the change.

The ClassiFire System remote control software Figure C-23. Selecting Device Settings from the Options Drop-Down Menu The following detector values relate to ClassiFire operation: 1. Detector s clock and calendar. (See Section 3-2.3.3 for details.) 2. Pre-Alarm and AUX alert levels (if required). a. Pre-Alarm defaults to 6 on the bargraph (adjustable from 3 to 8) b. Aux defaults to 10 (adjustable from 2 to 10) (See Section 3-2.3.4 for details.) 3. Day and night changeover times (if required). The preset times when day and night histograms activate can be set the nearest hour on a 24-hour clock. a. Day defaults to 08 (8AM) b. Night defaults to 19 (7PM) c. If no changeover is required (for example, a 24-hour working day), you can set the Day and Night times to 00. (See Section 3-2.3.8 for details.) 4. ClassiFire alarm function. The alarm delays prevent the detector from reacting to alarm conditions caused by a one-off peak, waiting to see if the condition persists. The alarm delay can be set between 0 and 60 seconds. The default setting is 5 seconds. (See Section 3-2.3.4 for details.) ClassiFire does the rest automatically. C-1.3.7 AUTO FASTLEARN ENABLE From time to time the detector needs to be powered down for routine maintenance. Setting the Auto FastLearn function to n prevents the detector from going into FastLearn mode when powered up, reducing down time. The default setting is y. P/N 33-308100-004 C-15 September 2009
