GENERAL
The SD-851E forms part of the
ProcessorenhancedDetectionseriesof
conventional detectors. These
detectors have been produced using
the latest in manufacturing and design
techniques,pushingouttheboundaries
of existing conventional detector
technology. With an on board
microprocessor, it’s multitude of
enhanced features including drift
compensation, provides the best in
conventional detection.
The SD-851E photoelectric smoke
detector incorporates an optical
chamber which is continually
monitored by an on board processor
which uses algorithms developed
specifically for the unit. An alarm
signal is only enabled in the detector
once the processor is satisfied that an
incipientfirehasbeendetectedtherby
reducing the incidence of nuisance
alarms.
‘Drift compensation’ algorithms are
one of the key features of the SD-851E
detector. These internal algorithms
ensure a consistent alarm sensitivity
threshold for periods between service
intervals. This provides the user with
maintenance savings by extending the
period before cleaning of the detector
chamber is required whilst minimising
the risk of nuisance alarms.
The sensitivity of a smoke detector is
critical to its overall performance, this
is reflected in both its ability to detect
real fire conditions and its resilience to
non-fire stimuli. The SD-851E’s
performance can be optimised for it’s
application by selecting from one of
three preset alarm thresholds - Low,
Medium and High, offering greater
stability and optimum performance
within the environment in which it has
been installed. The selection is easily
achieved through the use of a remote
hand-held tool.
The remote hand-held programming
tool can also be used in conjunction
with thePhDseriesofdetectors togain
access to other enhanced features. The
features available include: read/write
last maintenance date, read chamber
contamination level, read value of
thermal element and perform an alarm
test.
