2.1 POSITIONING
The Smoke Screen should ideally be sited in a covert position away from prying eyes and thereby
reducing the possibility of tamper or an attack. The ideal place for the Smoke Screen is above a ceiling
from where the smoke plume is used to its best effect, bursting on the ground and spreading outwards
and upwards through 360°. If no suitable ceiling location is available then the next best location is a wall
mounting as close to ceiling height as possible.

• Hold-off – usually a PIR or movement sensor normally closed output, which opens when the
sensor detects movement, connected to the Smoke Screen “Hold-off” normally closed
connections.
• Additional Hold-off – any form of normally closed relay or micro switch can be connected to
the“Hold-off”connections.WherettedinparallelasanadditiontoaPIRbothdevicesmustbe
‘open’toproduce‘smoke’.
Delaying an activation. After the Smoke Screen has received the required 3 inputs to produce smoke,
an activation can be delayed for a period between 0 and 60 seconds (in 1 second intervals). This can be
used to sequence activations in a multi-machine installation. See “Smoke Delay” in the Programming
section.
Stopping an activation.OnceactivatedtheSmokeScreenwillstopproducing‘smoke’beforetheend
of the programmed smoke time only if the Alarm Set is selected to a non-alarm state.
Preventing an activation. To prevent the Smoke Screen from making smoke during a service
inspection under any circumstances select the “Service Mode” dip switch to on (see separate section).

5.1 SCREEN SENSOR
A Concept Smoke Screen “Screen Sensor” can be connected to the Sentinel as shown in the “Generic
Connection Diagram”. When this is integrated the system detects a drop in the fog density in the
protectedareaandwillre-triggertheSentineltomaintainthefoglevel.WhenttedtheScreenSensoris
connected to the Hold Off input pins and, consequently, it prevents the use of a hold-off detector.
NB: It is critical that the Screen Sensor is installed in an area that receives the maximum fog
coverage. It will not operate correctly if this is not achieved. (See 4.2 generic connection diagram)
5.2 ENERGY SAVING MODE (ESM)
When ESM is selected and the Alarm Panel input to the Smoke Screen is “Unset” the Smoke Screen
lowers its running temperature to a standby level to reduce power consumption and cost. When the
SmokeScreenreceivesan‘AlarmSet’inputitautomaticallyheatstoitsnormaloperatingtemperature.
If the Smoke Screen is in ESM mode and is activated as soon as the Alarm is set, ie before it has heated
to normal operating temperature, it will still produce smoke but possibly for a shorter period than the set
smoke time.
5.3 SERVICE MODE
Setting Dip Switch No 3 of the bank marked “On-ServiceMode” (see diagram under “Circuit Board
Layout”) to “On” puts the Smoke Screen into “Service Mode”. This setting prevents the Smoke Screen
from making smoke whilst work is conducted with power applied. To highlight that the Smoke Screen is in
“Service Mode” the Tamper output is put into an alarm state.
FAILURE TO DISABLE SERVICE MODE WHEN NO LONGER REQUIRED WILL PREVENT THE SMOKE
SCREEN OPERATING.
5.5 TAMPER
Thereare5tampercircuitsontheSmokeScreen,oneoneachcover(front,batteryanduid),one
through the rear of the case for bracket tamper and an external tamper input on PCB Terminal Block
“B”. The external tamper input can be disabled if not in use by selecting Dip Switch 3 (marked “TAMP”)
to “On”, which bridges the input pins on the PCB. A “Tamper Status” output is provided on PCB Terminal
Block“C”.Atamper‘open’stateprovidesonlyanindicationoftheevent;itdoes not automatically
activate the Smoke Screen or prevent it from activation. If the Smoke Screen is not mounted on its
bracket the barcket tamper should be by-passed to prevent unwanted tamper warnings.
5.4 TURBO SMOKE MODE
When “Turbo Smoke Mode” is set (see section under “Programming”) the Smoke Screen produces a
high-volume burst of smoke to provide rapid obscuration of a local, high value protected area. In
“Normal Smoke Mode” the Smoke Screen produces a short full-output burst followed by a lower output
over a longer period.

6.1 OPERATION
While the Smoke Screen is heating up the LCD display will show a “Live Status” in code format and the
LED indicator will be Yellow. If the cover is open “Tamper Fault (Ti)” will be displayed on the LCD and the
LEDindicatorwillashyellowonceevery5seconds;atamperindicationwillnot,onitsown,preventthe
Smoke Screen from producing smoke. When the Smoke Screen reaches the correct working tempera-
ture, and a full Smoke Fluid Consumable has been correctly installed, the LED Indicator will go Green and
the LCD Display will show the current status on the machine (see codes for live status pg18).

Smoke Screen stand-alone test. The Smoke Screen can be tested when it is ready to operate
(indicated by a steady green LED) and it is not in “Service Mode” by pressing the buttons on the PCB
marked “PB1” or “PB2” (see the section “Circuit Board Layout” for the location and function description
for these buttons). NB: this does not check that the inputs and connections to the Smoke Screen
are correct.

7.1 LCD Codes for Live Status
The Smoke Screen provides on-board monitoring for Live Status.
Live Status codes will give a quick overview of the current status on the machine.
Codes: Explanation for Live Status Codes on the rst line on the LCD (Outputs)
TS Temp Status is active Temperature fault on the block area or not Ready
V Verify Smoke is active Machine is active / pump running
M Mains Fault Mains Power is missing
B Battery Fault Fault on batteries / charging fault
E Empty Fluid Fluid status is empty
L Low Fluid Fluid status is low
TI Tamper Internal Tamper alarm on Tamper Output
Codes: Explanation for Live Status Codes on the second line on the LCD (Inputs)
Set Set / Unset Set is active = The SET input is armed
Trg Trigger Trg is active = The Trigger input is in alarm state
Ho Hold-Off HO is active = The Hold-Off input is in alarm state
Sm Service Mode Sm is active = when Service Mode is activated via
service Dip switch setting
ES Energy Save Mode ES is enabled in menu = Energy Save Mode enabled
Example: The codes presented on the LCD screen indicates the current live status.
First line on the LCD shows the following:
• The Outputs TS, B, E, L, TI is active. (in alarm state)
•TheOutputsV,Misnormal.(okay)
Second line on the LCD shows the following:
• The 3 Inputs SET, Trg, Ho is active (in alarm state)
• The Sm and the ES is both enabled. (both active and enabled)

• The LCD will display the current status via the on-board codes for live status (see codes 7.1 pg18).
• The LCD will also display the last current message generated; see the “Event Log” for a message history.
• Once resolved, fault indications will automatically clear, except those marked* that also require the removal and restoration of all power,
mains and battery.
7.2 LCD, LED AND SOUND INDICATIONS
The Smoke Screen provides on-board status and event monitoring via the LCD, a multicolour LED and a sounder. Indications displayed are:
7.3 THERMAL CUT OUT (TCO) RESET
Intheunlikelyeventthatthetemperatureintheheaterblockincreasessignicantlyabovetheset
working temperature the TCO will trip to protect the machine from damage. The TCO can be reset using
the following procedure:
• Make sure the mains power to the machine is turned off before resetting the TCO.
• Reset the TCO by pressing on the little button on the top area. If the thermal device has tripped it
should be possible to hear a click when it resets.
• Switch on the mains power after resetting.
• Check the machine heats up to normal operating temperature and make sure it archives a ready
state. See the operating “LCD, LED and Sound Indications” for further information on fault
indications.
Note: The position of the TCO can be different depending on the machine version.
WARNING
Be aware of high voltage
in the block area. The
electrical supply should be
switched off before working
in the heater block
compartment.
If the Smoke Screen has
been in service the heater
block and connected parts
will be extremely hot and
will cause injury if touched.
Therefore, the Smoke
Screen should be switched
off and time should be
allowed for the heater
block to cool.
