Figure 1.1: 500 Series Fire Detector
With their low profile design, flush‑mounted installation and possibilities for color toning, the
fire detectors in the 500 series open up a new dimension with respect to aesthetic and
functional demands.
The cooperation of engineers and designers has created the timeless, innovative design of this
detector, which integrates pleasantly into the ceiling. The detectors with associated trim ring
are available in the versions white and transparent with color toning inserts. Through the use
of the supplied color toning inserts, optimum adjustment to many different environments
becomes possible.
The lack of an optical labyrinth and their easily-cleaned smooth surface means the detectors
are also suitable for applications in high-dust areas.
The low profile, flush-mounted design allows the use the detectors even in areas that must be
free of protrusions.
Thanks to the geometric arrangement of two separate optical sensor systems, the detectors
are not sensitive to interference, such as that caused by insects. The scattered light volume
that is evaluated by the sensors is located in the free space a few centimeters below the
ceiling.
The contamination level is measured constantly. Contamination of the detector surface leads
to an active adjustment of the threshold (drift compensation).
The detector is available as a scattered light fire detector only or as a multisensor detector
with an additional gas sensor.
The combination of scattered light detector and gas sensor allows the evaluation of signals
with the help of modern signal processing methods. The result is high immunity against
deceptive alarms and extended application possibilities in environments that are not suitable
for pure scattered light smoke detectors.
The FCP‑500 series are conventional technology detectors. Due to their current consumption,
a four-wire connection is required. Thus, they can be operated with numerous different fire
panels.
