Structure and function Overview 3 Structure and function Overview The linear smoke detector FDL241-9 detects fires according to the principle of light attenuation by smoke. The linear smoke detector works together with a reflector, which is installed opposite the detector. Properties Communication via FDnet /C-NET detector line or collective detector line ...

Structure and function Function When smoke is present, part of the infrared ray is absorbed when it encounters the smoke particles, while another part is scattered by smoke particles. The rest reaches the reflector and is returned to the receiver. The infrared ray is attenuated further.
Structure and function Function 3.3.1 Infrared ray Setup of the infrared ray The infrared ray is scattered, giving it a conical shape. The radiation energy decreases outwards. The infrared ray is divided into the following three ranges: Effective range (1): The effective range is the connection between the ...

Structure and function Function Example of calculating the diameter of the core range depending on the detection distance: Known: Detection distance l = 100 m Wanted: Diameter d of the core range Adjustment options for the infrared ray The infrared ray can be adjusted horizontally by a maximum of 10° in either direction and vertically by a maximum of 5°...
Structure and function Function 3.3.2 Reflectors Retro-reflectors reflect rays of light that reach them in parallel. The reflector does not necessarily have to be installed at a right angle to the ray of light. Vibrations and distortions on the installation surface do not interfere with this. Interfering light is also reflected in parallel and does not therefore reach the receiver.
Structure and function Function Reflector for middle distance (foil) DLR1192 and reflector for short distance (foil) DLR1193 The reflectors for middle distance and for short distance consist of a foil with micro- prismatic elements, which are formed in a transparent, synthetic resin, sealed and mounted on a plastic base.
Structure and function Function 3.3.5 Diagnosis levels For the most part, the linear smoke detector monitors its functionality autonomously. The following diagnosis levels are derived from the different control measurements: Normal Observe information Fault For details, see table below. When a fatal error (one which impairs the detector's function) occurs, a fault message is signaled.
Structure and function Function Information displayed on the Meaning Measures detector exchanger and tester Any fault message Invalid parameter settings Set valid parameters Reflection Remove or cover reflecting objects Invalid initialization Re-initialize detector Supply error Check voltage of detector line ...
Page 28
Structure and function Function Response threshold The response threshold corresponds to the standardized signal value for danger level 3. When the signal drops below the response threshold, algorithms are activated that trigger an alarm after a certain amount of time. Depending on the sensitivity level of the parameter set selected, the response threshold may be higher or lower: Very sensitive: Response threshold is 30 % below the compensation value.
Page 29
Structure and function Function Leveling The signal is measured four times per second and processed with leveling filters. Extreme values, which may be caused by signal faults, are thereby leveled out. Further signal processing is based on the leveled signal. Leveling characteristics 1 Unleveled signal 2 Leveled signal...

Planning Planning in rooms with inclined ceilings Planning in rooms with inclined ceilings A ceiling is inclined if the incline n is at least 0.2. This corresponds to an inclination angle of 11°.

Planning Planning in rooms with inclined ceilings 4.4.1 Ceilings with uneven inclines In the case of ceilings with uneven inclines, the detector must be slid sideways to the flatter roof incline. Define the distance between the detector and the ceiling (2) using the room height (1).
Planning Detection distance and reflector selection Detection distance and reflector selection The detection distance between the detector and reflector is 5 to 100 m. Select the reflectors depending on the detection distance. The table below shows guidelines for the type and number of reflectors depending on the detection distance.
Planning Detection distance and reflector selection 4.5.1 Measures for long distances Long distances can be split into smaller ones for monitoring. Detectors positioned opposite one another can however have a negative influence on one another. In such a position, install a sufficiently large plate between the reflectors, such that it is not possible for detectors to influence those opposite them.
Planning Room height and installation height Room height and installation height In rooms with a height greater than 6 m, a second and, if necessary, third infrared ray must be used such that smoldering fires or smaller fires are detected. Detection of smoldering fires in high rooms on different levels 1 Detector 2 Reflectors...
Planning Width of monitoring area Width of monitoring area The higher the room, the greater the width of the monitoring area. To cover heightened risks, you can also select a smaller width of monitoring area. The figure below shows the maximum widths of monitoring area depending on the room height.

Planning Installation surface Installation surface The detector must be installed on a stable and vibration-free surface. Remember that large fluctuations in temperature (e.g. between day and night) can cause slight deformations to iron girders etc. If the detector is installed on an unstable surface, the infrared ray may not reach the reflector and therefore causes an alarm or fault.

Planning Minimum distance between two detectors 4.10 Minimum distance between two detectors The greater the detection distance, the greater the distance between two detectors must be. This prevents the detectors from influencing one another. The figure below illustrates the minimum distance between two parallel infrared rays.
Page 48

Planning Measures against moisture condensation Example: Detection through one glass pane 1 Correct position 3 Glass pane 2 Incorrect position Mounting reflectors on glass plates When reflectors are installed on glass panes, there is danger of the glass panes, not the reflector, reflecting the infrared ray. This may even occur after commissioning, when the glass plate is slightly shifted.
Planning Measures for strong extraneous light 4.14 Measures for strong extraneous light Interferences of the detector by extraneous light are rather rare. If faults occur when there is strong extraneous light, use the extraneous light filter DLF1191-AC.
