5 PRINCIPLEOFOPERATION
TheDOR‐4046isaTyndalleffectbasedopticalsmokedetector–lightrayscatteringonsmokeparticles.
Itsbasicelementisadetectingopticalmoduleconsistingofanelectroluminescencediodethattransmits
infraredradiationandanopticalreceivingdiode.Theopticalmoduleandsurroundingmeasuring
chamberareprotectedbyalabyrinthwhichisshapedtodumpbothexternallightandradiation
resultingfrominternalreflexesofthetransmittingdiodelight.Whensmokeparticlesenterthe
measuringchamber,theyreflectthelightemittedbythetransmittingdiode.Thereflectedlightreaches
theopticaldiodeproducingphotocurrentwhichisfirststrengthenedandprocessed,andthenanalysed
bythemicroprocessorinstalledinsidethedetector.
Thealarmmodeisindicatedwithpulseredlightemittedbyasignallingdiodeinstalledonthedetector
casing.Theindicatorenablesfastlocationoftheactivateddetectorandishelpfulinperiodicdetector
inspections.Incasethedetectorishardlyvisibleorisinstalledinadifficult‐to‐reachspace,anadditional
opticalalarmindicator(WZ‐31)maybeconnectedinanaccessibleandvisibleplace.

5IP‐E282‐001GB
CommunicationbetweenthePOLON4000firealarmcontrolpanelandtheDOR‐4046detectorsis
obtainedwithanaddressabletwo‐wiredetectionline.Unique,fullydigitalcommunicationprotocol
enablespassinganyinformationfromthefirealarmcontrolpaneltothedetectorandinversely.
Apartfromtransmittinganevaluationoffirefactorsandtendencyoftheirchanges,thedetectorpasses
tothecontrolpanel,onitsrequest,thecurrentanaloguevalue.
Thedetectoroperationcontrollingmicroprocessormonitorscorrectnessofitsbasiccircuitsoperation
and,incaseanirregularityisfound,reportsrelevantinformationtothecontrolpanel.
TheDOR‐4046isananaloguedetectorwithanautomaticsensitivityself‐regulationdigitalmechanism
thatisitmaintainsaconstantsensitivitylevelduringprogressingdirtbuild‐upinthemeasuring
chamber.
Afterexceedingapre‐setthresholdoftechnicalalarm,thedetectortransmitsasignaltothePOLON
4000systemcontrolpaneldenotingthemeasuringchamberpartialcontamination.Thesignalis
generatedinordertoinformtheservicingpersonnelthatthedetectorparametersshallnotremainat
thedeclaredlevelincasethedirtbuild‐uptendencyismaintainedandappropriatemeasuresarenot
taken.Itmustbestressedthatthedetectorshallbefullyefficientwithinca.1/3ofthetimeperiodthat
passedsincethelatestmaintenanceworks.
Thedetectorisequippedwithaninternalshortcircuitisolatorthatcutsoffanefficientpartofa
detectionlinefromtheadjacentshortedsectionwhatenablesfurtherundisturbeddetectoroperation.
Thedetectoralarmmodeissignalledwithflashingredlightoftheilluminatingdiode.Thefaultmode,
technicalalarmandanactuationofashortcircuitisolatoraresignalledwithyellowflashesofthediode.
Thedetectorsensitivitylevelisadjustable.Itssensitivityissettledfromthecontrolpanellevelchoosing
oneofavailablesensitivitylevels:1stoperationmode–normalsensitivity,2ndoperationmode–
increasedsensitivity,3rdoperationmode–decreasedsensitivity.
Thedetectoroperationmodes(besidesthecontrolpanelalarmvariants)entailsthattheuserisableto
adapt,inthebestway,itsoperationcharacteristicstooperationinthedeterminedenvironment.
