• All installations should comply with local regulations
• For detectors approved to UL268 refer to NFPA72 for installation guidance. In such
installations, it is advised that the maximum distance of Detector and Reflector from the
ceiling must be 10% of the distance between floor and ceiling
• For installations covering less than 18m, the Short Range Mask must be used
• Position beam as high as possible, but with a minimum distance of 0.5m from Detector and
Reflector to ceiling.
• Mount Detector and Reflector directly opposite each other
• Do NOT position Detector where personnel or objects can enter the beam path
• Do NOT position 2 Detectors facing each other
• Detector LED indicator must face downward
• Do NOT install the Detector or Reflector in environments where condensation or icing are
likely to occur

It is possible to wire either one or two detectors onto one controller. Refer to section 4. Address
Settings for further information on how to select addresses for each detector.

4. Address Settings
Select the required address using address switches 1 to 7 for XP/Discovery and 1 to 8 for
Soteria with core enabled panel. The reference table can be viewed below, addresses 127-254
relate only to Soteria. When only one detector is connected it will appear on the address set on
the DIP switch. When there are two detectors connected then detector 1 will appear on the
selected address and detector two will appear on the selected address +1.

•In ‘Hi A’ mode (default), during
normal operation the system
will take 5.5mA if one Detector
is connected or 8mA if two
Detectors are connected.
During Laser targeting, Auto,
Hand and Home functions, the
system will take 36mA.
•In ‘Lo A’ mode (selected via the
System Controller settings
menu), the system will take
5.5mA or 8mA in ALL modes of
operation. The Detector will
move more slowly during Align,
Laser targeting and Home, so it
is recommended to leave the
system set to ‘Hi A’ if the
current is available.

Note: When multiple systems are connected to a
loop, it is recommended that only one system at a
time is used in an alignment mode (HAND, AUTO,
LASER, HOME) to ensure that excessive current is
not consumed

11. LASER Targeting
The system will signal Fault while in this mode
The LASER is used to align the Detector with the Reflector. It is an approximate alignment tool
only. After Auto-Align the LASER will not necessarily be pointing on the Reflector
• Use to move the LASER as close to the Reflector as possible
• One press of an arrow key results in one movement of the Detector head
• Press or to turn off the LASER and return to the Settings menu
• Refer to Additional Detector Information for troubleshooting if LASER is not visible

15. Manual Fire and Fault Tests
After installation or cleaning, it is recommended that a manual Fire and Fault test is
performed:
Fire Test: Cover the Reflector slowly so that it takes longer than 5 seconds to cover. The
System Controller will signal Fire to the Fire Control Panel after the delay to fire has expired
(10s default)
Fault Test: Cover the Reflector completely within 2 seconds. The System Controller will signal
Fault back to the Fire Control Panel after the delay to fault has expired (10s default)
Detector Fire LED Test
Detector will signal Fire,
System Controller will stay
Normal.

This setting is the threshold at which the Detector will detect a fire
Default factory setting=35%
(Set for each Detector)
17. Fire Threshold
Complies with EN54-12 for sensitivity levels between 25% and 35% with a maximum delay to
fire of 20 seconds
13
•Sensitivity can be adjusted in 1% steps by pressing up or down keys
•Press to accept setting
EN Approved Sensitivity Ranges:
Analogue value 48 will be transmitted when the signal strength falls below a certain value; this
value is based on being 2/3 between 100% and fire threshold. The following table gives
examples of this, all other selectable thresholds will have pre-alarm thresholds calculated
based on the 2/3 calculation.

22. Cleaning the System
The system will automatically compensate for dust build-up by changing the Compensation
Level.
However, it is recommended that the Detector lenses and the Reflector are cleaned
periodically with a soft lint-free cloth.
If the Compensation Level for a particular Detector remains above 130 for several days, this
indicates that cleaning should take place on that Detector.
The system should be isolated from the Fire Control Panel before cleaning takes place.
After cleaning, verify that the system is operating normally:
If the Signal Strength is between 92% and 108%
- leave the system to compensate back to 100% (this should take no more than 12 hours)
If the Signal Strength is above 108%
- reduce Compensation Level until Signal Strength is 92—108%, and wait for system to
compensate back to 100%
If the Signal Strength is below 92%
- perform LASER Targeting, Auto-Align, and Set.
How to change Compensation Level:

23. Event Logger
The System Controller contains a logging function which will store information for the most
recent 50 events on each Detector.
For each Fire or Fault activation, the controller will store:
If there have been power-cycle events on the controller, all timing information will be lost for
those events that occurred prior to the most recent of the power-cycles.
To erase and restart the event logger, press and hold ‘left’ and ‘right’ keys together when
displaying any of the event log entries. Press ‘tick’ when prompted by ‘SurE’.
To access the event log, press tick on the Event Logger icon when the relevant detector is
highlighted:
Event
Code
Event Number
01 is the most recent event
02 is the event before 01
03 is the event before 02, and so on
• The event code – This is the same as the error code (E-__) that would be displayed during
the Fault, or one of the following:
• 99 - Log erased
• 98 - Power cycle
• 97 - Fire Detected
• 96 - Remote Fire Test initiated
• 95 - AUTO initiated
• 94 - LASER activated
• 93 - ‘Home’ initiated
• The elapsed time since the event occurred
• The duration of the event
• The signal strength when the event occurred (if applicable)
• The A C value when the event occurred (if applicable)

24. Troubleshooting - LASER not visible
If it is not possible to see the LASER because of the installation environment (for example, if
you cannot see the Reflector from the System Controller or there is high ambient light) then
use ‘Hand’ Alignment. This option displays the signal strength value returned by the Detector,
and allows the user to move the beam
1. Start ‘Auto’ Alignment and press after two seconds to exit. (this will maximise infrared
power)
2. Select ‘Hand’ alignment
3. Use to steer the beam until the signal strength is above 800. There is no
auto-repeat function on any key. To move the motor in any given direction more than once,
press the key multiple times
4. Cover the Reflector. If the Signal Strength does not drop by more than half, the beam is not
aligned to the Reflector, so repeat Step 3
5. Perform ‘Auto’ alignment, followed by ‘Set’

19
25. Troubleshooting - HOME
If it is not known where the beam is pointing, use Home Position to automatically steer the
infrared beam to approximately the centre of its range of movement.
• Press or to exit this function
• This will take up to 3 minutes to complete
• When complete the display will return to the Engineering Menu
