1. Introduction
1.1 General
AutroSense Micra 100is a highly sophisticated ‘next generation‘ of
high Sensitivity Aspirating Smoke Detection product that has been
designed to ensure that installation and commissioning is as simple as
possible, while optimising performance.
AutroSense Micra 100 incorporates a patented ‘artificial intelligence‘
known as ClassiFire®, which allows the detector to configure itself to
optimum sensitivity, alarm thresholds and minimum nuisance alarms
for any environment. ClassiFire intelligence also monitors the detector
chamber and dust separator for contamination, continually adjusting
the appropriate operating parameters to counteract the negative
effects of such contamination.
The AutroSense range of detectors is unique in being able to provide a
consistent level of protection in a very wide range of environments by
continuously making minor adjustments to sensitivity.
The AutroSense range of detectors has proven its worth many times
by detecting ‘difficult-to-detect‘ slow growth electrical overload incipient
fires in ‘difficult‘ environments.
This handbook gives information likely to be needed for most
installations, but for more detailed information on subjects such as
Fresh Air Referencing, please refer to the complete Technical Manual
or System Design Guide.
This equipment is Class 111 as defined in EN60950 (i.e., this
equipment is designed to operate from Safety Extra Low Voltages and
does not generate any hazardous voltages).
If this equipment is part of a fire detection system, it should be
supplied from an approved power supply conforming to EN 54-4.
1.2 About the reader
This handbook in intended for Autronica personnel authorized to install
the AutroSense Micra 100.

4. Programming the detector
The AutroSense Micra 100 may be programmed from a PC when
connected to the detector via a standard 9-pin serial lead connected to
the serial port of the computer and the 9 way socket at the base of the
detector ( ‘Connecting to a PC’). In order to do this, it is necessary to
install the remote control software onto the computer. A copy of the
remote control software is contained on a floppy disk supplied with
each detector.
Install the software in accordance with the on-screen instructions.
To open the software, select “Start Programs AirSense Remote
2.0” “Access the drop-down list to the right hand side of the toolbar.
This defaults to “Detector 001”. Scroll down this list to select the
detector number corresponding to the connected detector’s address
number if the address is other then the factory default setting of 1.”
The programmable functions are all accessed though the
“Options Detector settings” submenu or by clicking on the detector
symbol in the remote software toolbar as indicated below.
“The software will display a prompt for the detector’s access code. The
default access code is 0102. When the correct code is entered, the
programmable functions may be accessed and amended as required.

The following screen appears.
This window contains all the programmable functions for the
AutroSense Micra 100.
To amend one of the programmable functions, go to the relevant tab in
the “Function settings” window, make the change and then click “OK”.
This will save the change to the detector’s internal firmware.
A list and explanation of the various functions is given overleaf, with
the functions grouped by the tab under which they appear.
4.1 Time and date –“Time and date” tab
It is important that the time and date be set up correctly on the
controller’s internal calendar/clock because it uses this information to
store events in the event log. See “Event log” for more details. Unless
specially ordered, units are supplied with the correct setting for UK
time. This is backed up with a rechargeable battery. Later adjustments
to the clock setting should not exceed ± 70 minutes unless a
FastLearn is initiated.

4.2 Alarm levels –“Alarm levels and delays” tab,
level subgroup
The value set in the Fire, Pre-Alarm and Aux functions in the Level
subgroup is the relatively scaled bargraph level at which the
appropriate alarm is initiated on the detector. The Fire 2 level assigns
an absolutely scaled alarm level in % obs/m.
The Aux level is set by factory default at level 10 which means that this
alarm will occur after the Fire alarm. The default level settings for Pre-
Alarm and Fire 1 are 6 and 8 respectively. The default setting for Fire 2
is 20% obs/m.
4.3 Alarm delays –“Alarm levels and delays” tab, delay
subgroup
The alarm delay is the number of seconds that an alarm level has to
be continuously sensed before the alarm is initiated. Each alarm level
has a programmable delay of between 0 and 90 seconds. The default
delay for each alarm level is 5 seconds.
4.4 ClassiFire Override –“Alarm Levels and Delays”
Tab
This function has no current use on the AutroSense Micra 100 but is
reserved for future expansion purposes.
4.5 Alarm Factor –“Alarm Levels and Delays” Tab
The detector sensitivity is set with this entry, which will also affect the
probability of nuisance alarms. 0 = high sensitivity, higher probability, 8
= low sensitivity, lower probability. The default alarm factor is 4.
Note: The highest sensitivity setting is suitable for clean,
environmentally controlled environments, e.g. semiconductor
manufacturing clean rooms where airborne pollutants are kept to an
absolute minimum and the least contamination is cause for alarm.
Use of this setting in a busy machine shop would lead to relatively
frequent nuisance alarms due to the normal variation of atmospheric
contamination and a lower sensitivity setting is recommended. It is
therefore important that the alarm factor chosen is suitable for the area
to be protected. When the appropriate alarm factor for the protected
area has been set, nuisance alarms will be reduced to an absolute
minimum.

4.6 LDD Enable –“Alarm Levels and Delays” Tab
When this function is ticked, Laser Dust Discrimination (LD) increases
the response time of the detector slightly, whilst greatly reducing the
likelihood of nuisance alarms due to dust ingress. LDD may be
disabled in very clean rooms for a slightly faster response to smoke by
setting this function to unticking the box. This function is enabled by
default.
NB: Disabling LDD is not recommended for areas other than
manufacturing clean rooms, due to the increased probability of
nuisance alarms in most other operating environments.
4.7 FastLearn Enable –“Alarm Levels and Delays” Tab
If the detector is in FastLearn mode, unticking this box will stop the
FastLearn process.
Using the function in this way is neither recommended nor supported
by Autronica Fire and Security.
Ticking the box will start a FastLearn at any time. The green “OK” LED
on the front of the detector will flash for the fifteen minutes that it takes
for the FastLearn process, and will then change to constant
illumination to indicate that the FastLearn is complete.
Note: It will take a further 24 hours after the FastLearn for full
sensitivity to be reached, unless Demonstration Mode has been
initiated. It is essential for proper functioning that the detector not be
left in Demonstration mode, and that it be allowed to complete the 24-
hour learning period. To cancel demo mode, tick this box or power
down and restart the detector to initiate FastLearn mode.

4.8 Auto FastLearn enable –“Alarm Levels and Delays”
Tab
When enabled, this function ensures that if the detector is powered off
for any reason (e.g. for maintenance or to be moved to a new area), a
FastLearn is commenced automatically on power-up. There may be
occasions when it is desirable to power down the detector for short
periods of time, and it is highly likely that ambient contaminant levels
will be the same on power-up.
Under these circumstances it may not be desirable that the detector
should to go through the whole learning process again. To this end,
this function can be unticked before power-down, whereupon it will
return to the original settings on power-up. This function is enabled by
default.
4.9 ClassiFire 3D –“Alarm Levels and Delays” Tab
If this function is ticked, then the detector will ignore any pre-set time
delays in the event of an unacceptably rapid increase in smoke
density, thereby minimising response time to 'rapid growth' fires. This
function would normally only be used where there were long time
delays programmed on the alarm levels. This function is disabled by
default.
4.10 Demo Mode –“Alarm Levels and Delays” Tab
Demonstration mode is an operating mode whereby the normal 24-
hour learning period is bypassed, so that the detector can reach high
sensitivity after only the 15 minute FastLearn period. This can be used
so that initial smoke testing and other commissioning can be carried
out.
However, it must be understood that, since the alarm levels will be
based solely upon the sparse data gathered during the FastLearn
period, there is a risk of nuisance alarms due to normal variations in
ambient smoke levels. For this reason, the detector should not be left
in Demo mode for normal use when connected to a fire-alarm panel.

Page 11
4.11 Day Start / Night Start –“Day/Night Switching” Tab
These values are the times to the nearest hour at which the day/night
switching is desired to take place on the detector. Entries are made in
24-hour format, e.g. 19 for 7pm. Day and night switching is intended
so that the detector may automatically select a different sensitivity
when the protected area is unoccupied and fewer contaminants
are being produced. ClassiFire automatically detects the change in
smoke level after the protected area is left, and if the time at which this
happens is within + 70 minutes of the programmed switchover time it
selects the night-time histogram. This means that changes in time
setting, e.g. changing to summer time, may be ignored as the detector
will take this into account. The default times for day and night start are
08:00 and 19:00 respectively.
Note that if the environment actually becomes more contaminated
during the night period for any reason then ClassiFire will adapt to that
too, reducing the night-time sensitivity.
4.12 Disable Day / Night Switching –“Day/Night
Switching” Tab
If day/night switching is not desirable, the Disable day/night switching
box may be ticked to leave the detector permanently in day mode.
4.13 Remote Functions –“Alarm Actions” Tab, Remote
Input Subgroup
These functions have no current use on the AutroSense Micra 100 but
are reserved for future expansion purposes.
4.14 Programmed Isolate (discontinued)
This function is no longer supported. To isolate the detector, use the
Isolate function.
WARNING
To avoid potential safety risks, do not use the Programmed Isolate
function.
If a detector is isolated (disabled) using Programmed Isolate, there is
no visual indication on the detector, command module, or control
panel that the device is not operational, and the function is not
disabled automatically after 7 days.
The use of the Programmed Isolate function is entirely at the
operator’s own risk.

4.15 Latching Alarms –“Alarm Actions” Tab
When this function box is ticked it requires a reset from the controlling
computer to clear an alarm condition.
If unticked, the alarm signal is extinguished as soon as the alarm
condition ends. This is the factory default setting.
4.16 Latching Faults –“Alarm Actions” Tab
When this function box is ticked it requires a reset from the controlling
computer to clear a fault condition.
If unticked, the fault signal is extinguished as soon as the fault
condition ends. This is the factory default setting.
4.17 Cascading Alarms –“Alarm Actions” Tab
Ticking this function box means that only when the detector’s
controller has gone into Pre-Alarm does the controller start counting
down the main Fire delay i.e. the time delays on Pre-Alarm and Fire 1
are cumulative. The Aux alarm is not included in the cumulative delay
since it may be set to a higher level than either the Pre-Alarm or Fire
1 levels. This function is enabled by default.
4.18 Device Type –“Device Information” Tab
This function is for display purposes only.
4.19 Firmware Version –“Device Information” Tab
This function is for display purposes only. It shows the version number
of the fitted firmware chip.
4.20 Run-time Hours –“Device Information” Tab
This function is for display purposes only. It shows the cumulative total
number of hours that the device has run (NB: this is not the time that
has elapsed since last power-up, but the sum total of run time since
the detector memory was last reset).
4.21 Watchdog Count –“Device Information” Tab
The watchdog is a circuit built into the controller that restarts the
controller in the event of a failure to function properly. This could be as

a result of electrical spikes. This count shows the number of
interruptions found. The details of each problem can be found in the
event log. See “Event log” for further details.
4.22 Device Text –“Device Information” Tab
This function has no current use on the AutroSense Micra 100 but is
reserved for future expansion purposes.
4.23 Reference Detector –“Referencing” Tab
An AutroSense Micra detector may use another detector as a fresh air
reference. This function is the address of the detector which will be
used as the reference.
To set a detector as a reference detector, enter its address as set by
its internal DIP switch into this function. This function is disabled by
default.
4.24 Reference Enable –“Referencing” Tab
Ticking this box enables the reference for the detector, if one has
previously been allocated in Reference detector.This function is
disabled by default.
4.25 Reference Level –“Referencing” Tab
The value set with this function is the percentage reference signal
subtracted from the detector’s signal, if a reference device has been
allocated. The default value is 0.
4.26 Reference Back-off –“Referencing” Tab
This value is the delay time between a build up of pollution being seen
by the reference (if used) and the pollution being seen by the detector.
The default value is 15.
4.27 Flow Rate –“Flow Monitoring” Tab
This function is for display purposes only, and shows a value
corresponding to the current airflow through the detector.

Page 14
4.28 Flow High Limit –“Flow Monitoring” Tab
This value is the level above which airflow needs to increase to trigger
a fault indication (which may indicate a loose or damaged inlet pipe).
Flow low limit and Flow high limit parameters are automatically set up
on initial power-up.
4.29 Flow Low Limit –“Flow Monitoring” Tab
This value is the level below which airflow needs to be reduced to
trigger a fault reading (which may indicate a blocked pipe).
Flow low limit and Flow high limit parameters are automatically set up
on initial power-up.
4.30 Flow fault delay –Flow monitoring tab
This feature requires the Remote Control Software version 3.2 or later.
The default flow fault thresholds on the AutroSense Micra 100 are set
to meet the stringent airflow monitoring requirements of EN 54-20, with
a default flow fault delay of 30 seconds. This may lead to unwanted
flow faults being generated when local conditions cause short-term
variations in airflow. To help alleviate such issues, the flow fault delay
is programmable from 30 to 240 seconds. The flow level needs to be
above the high flow threshold or below the low flow threshold
throughout the delay period for a fault to be generated.
NB: When setting the value of this function, it is important to take into
account that the control unit (e.g. fire panel) may not react immediately
to a trouble signal being generated by the detector, and this will add to
the total fault response time of the system.
The function value must be chosen so that the total time between the
detector entering a fault condition and a fault signal being generated
by the panel meets the requirements of local or national fire
regulations. The maximum allowable response time for EN 54-20
compliance is 300 seconds, and that for NFPA 72 compliance is 200
seconds.
As an example: in the latter case, if the flow fault delay were set to 180
seconds (within the limit), but the fire panel did not generate a fault
indication for another 25 seconds, the total response time of 205
seconds means the system would not comply with the regulations.
If documented figures are unavailable for the fire panel reaction time,
compliance with reaction time regulations may only be verified by post-
installation testing.
4.31 Access Code –“Miscellaneous” Tab
This is the access code required to amend programmable parameters.
The default code is 0102. Once the appropriate code is entered it may
be changed here to any four digit number to limit unauthorised access.
