THE TECH SPEC
The EVOLUTION series of Concept Smoke Screen fog generators is
exactly what the name suggests - Darwin’s principles proven. This
range of generators represents the pinnacle of our engineering
excellence and experience. Every aspect of what a security fog
generator is intended to do has been thought out, and the current
range is the end result of 40 years of continuous application
development. There is even a very good reason for the shape of
the generators. The E-Series is exactly the right shape to be
passed through a ceiling grid and mounted above a false ceiling.
Our own installations have taught us that this is the optimal
location for a security fog generator, both in terms of protecting
the point of fog production, and in terms of the best way of
introducing the fog itself - vertically down.
The range has advanced signalling capability, full fault awareness
and the most flexible approach to installation options. The
E-Series is in service, protecting property, with all manner of
customers from home owners to large chains of retail stores.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The E-Series is the most flexible
range, offering control over all
parameters. The generator can be
tailored to exacting requirements.
RUGGED DESIGN
Constructed to defence standards,
the E-Series is built to last, and
protect.
PRECISION ENGINEERING
The safest, driest fog on the market
is achieved with our precision
engineered heater block. Covered
by a LIFETIME warranty.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEFAULT SETTINGS
On delivery, the E+ will have the following defaults
Clock and Date: pre-set.
Smoke Burst Time: 2 min of smoke production.
Auxiliary Timed Relay: 59 min from smoke on.
H/O Alarm: enabled.
H/O Retrigger: enabled.
UPS: disabled.
UPS Alarm: disabled.
Sound Repeat: 5 min.
Sound Silence: 2 hours.
Engineer Code: 1993.
ACTIVATION SIGNALS
The Smoke Screen E+ is designed to receive up to three activation signals:
‘• Set’ input - normally closed (NC) relay opening when the Alarm Panel is ‘Set’.
‘• Trigger’ input a NC relay opening when the Panel is in ‘Alarm’.
‘• Conrmation’ input - a NC set of contacts opening on activation of a remote alarm ‘Hold-off’ (HO) such as a
PIR or a microswitch.
TRIGGERING SMOKE
The Smoke Screen E+ will produce smoke providing it is in a Ready state when the following conditions are met:
‘• Hold-off’ attached: Both ‘Set’ and ‘Trigger’ inputs are open and the ‘Hold-off’ is open providing conrmation.
No• ‘Hold-off’ attached: Both ‘Set’ and ‘Trigger’ inputs are open. If no Hold-off is attached the Level 2
parameter “HO Alarm” on/off should be changed to “Off”.
STOPPING SMOKE
Closing the ‘Trigger’ relay will not stop the production of smoke, which will continue for the preset time. Close the
‘Set’ relay to stop the smoke output instantly. Note that if the ‘Set’ and ‘Trigger’ inputs are connected together in
parallel and operated by one set of NC relay contacts opening the unit will stop producing smoke when the contact is
closed.
RE-TRIGGERING SMOKE
(Hold-off Attached). If, after it has made smoke for the preset time, the unit receives another HO alarm with an open
‘Set’ input it will ‘retrigger’ and make smoke again. To prevent this set the Level 2 parameter “HO Retrig“ to “Off”
and the Panel Alarm has to then re-arm before the system can produce Smoke. If required, there is a ‘Fleeting Input
Ignore’ function that can be set between 0 and 4.5 seconds in the Level 2 parameter ‘Alarm Ignore’ (the default
setting is 0.5 seconds).

SIGNALLING RELAYS
Relay terminology refers to the relay condition in the de-energised state, i.e. if a relay is Normally Open (NO) the
wiring across Common and NO will be open when not energised and closed when energised. All signalling relays have
changeover contacts for exible conguration. The Smoke Screen E+ has 5 Low voltage signalling relays with change
over volt free contacts rated at 1 amp max for:
Ready• (Energised when Ready).
Low Fluid• (Energised when Fluid OK).
UPS• (Energised when UPS OK or UPS Alert is disabled).
Verication• (Energises with the pump relay).
‘• Auxiliary’ relay is normally congured as an extra timer relay initiated by an alarm.
MAINS POWER LOSS
(No UPS connected). When mains power is restored after a temporary power loss the unit will be ‘Not Ready’ for
approximately 30 seconds even if the unit is still up to operating temperature. This is to allow the Hold-off PIR to
stabilise and prevent the unit from ring in the event of a false panel alarm.
SMOKE PRODUCTION TIME
The ‘Smoke On’ time can be set in 15 second increments up to a maximum of 10 minutes (parameter Level 1). If the
unit goes ‘Not Ready’ during alarm the system does not include the ‘Not Ready’ time in the ‘Smoke On’ time total.
When the Smoke Screen goes ‘Ready’ again the smoke production restarts until elapsed time reaches the pre-set
gure or the ‘Set’ contact is closed.
SMOKE TEST
A 3-second smoke test can be made if the unit is ‘Ready’ and the ‘Set’ contact is open by:
Setting Smoke Test parameter in Level 2 to “On” (resets to ‘Off’ when the engineer PIN is entered or times out).•
Pressing and holding all 3 buttons (• !qp).
The ‘On’ time is set by the manufacturer to 3 seconds in Level 3 “Smk Test”.•
AUDIBLE WARNINGS
The Smoke Screen ‘beeps’ during the ‘alert’ conditions detailed in the “Status and Conditions” table. If the condition
persists, the sounder repeats at an interval set in Level 1 parameter “Sound Rpt”. The sounder can be silenced for a
period set in Level 1 parameter “Sound Sil” by a momentary contact closure on the sounder silence connections.

UPS
An alternative UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply), or maintained, supply can be incorporated into an installation
if required by connecting the IEC panel plug on the case. When the mains supply fails this will provide power to the
controls and the pump/solenoid output but the uid heater control is disabled. A “MAINS FAIL” message also
alternates with the normal status in the display. A UPS alarm can be enabled in Parameter Adjustment Level 2 so
that a “NO UPS” message alternates with the normal status in the display if the UPS supply is not present. If the UPS
supply fails the unit operates normally when a mains supply is available.
E+ PARAMETER ADJUSTMENTS
ENGINEER ACCESS PIN
Access to parameter setting Levels 1 & 2 is controlled using an Engineer PIN. The default is set to 1993 but it can be
changed if required as the last item in Level 2. To enter the PIN:
On the Display Panel, hold down the • !and p buttons to display “Access Code: 0 0 0 0” with a ashing cursor
underline on the rst digit.
Press• qor p to select the rst number.
Press ! to move to the second digit.•
Repeat the above until the 4th digit is correctly displayed.•
Press ! to enter parameter setting Level 1.•
If the wrong code has been entered the message “WRONG CODE” is displayed along with the incorrectly input •
number.
Once a correct Engineer PIN has been entered it is enabled for 10 minutes although the display will time-out after 10
seconds of inactivity. However, if the ! key is pressed within 10 minutes the display returns to the Access Code input
display and Parameter Adjustment Level 1 will be immediately displayed when re-entering the programming function
by a second press of the ! key. An enabled Engineer PIN is cancelled if the mains power is turned off.
PARAMETER ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustments can be made to many of the E+ operating parameters by entering the Engineer PIN as above, pressing
the ! button to scroll through the adjustable parameters and using the qand p buttons to change the setting.

If a Hold Off detector is not used, turn off “HO
Alarm” in level 2 Parameters.
Note 2
12vDC power supply of 250mA is available.
Alarm contact (volt free) opening in alarm. If
connected as shown the unit will stop producing
smoke when Alarm contact closes.
External switch can be tted across these contacts
to disable audio warnings for a set period.
Contacts close and latch on
for pre-set time when Smoke
activated. Relay rated at 1A
24vDC.
Contacts close when Smoke
activated.
Contacts close when UPS is OK
or UPS Alert is disabled.
Contacts closed when uid
level low.
Contacts closed when ready.
Additional Information:
1. Dotted connection
indicates auxiliary
features that may be
used or required on
some installations.
2. Where multiple E+
machines are connected
together the ‘Trigger’
and ‘Set’ should be
connected in parallel.
3. The ‘Trigger’ and ‘Set’
connections in the
diagram are shown
connected in parallel
– this is the basic
conguration.
4. It is also normal for
separate relays to be
used: one opening when
the panel is ‘set’ and the
other opening when the
panel goes into ‘alarm’.

First, drill four holes using the mounting bracket as a template.
Then secure the bracket to the wall using suitable screws/bolts.
Be sure to leave a sufcient gap from the ceiling to accommodate
the unit.
