1PURPOSE
TheDUR‐4046microprocessorbasedinteractiveaddressableopticalsmokedetectorisdesignedfor
detectionofvisiblesmokethatisconcurrentwithmostfirecombustion.Itenablesafiredetectionat
astartofitsflamelessstagewhenmaterialstartstosmoulder,andthereforegenerally,alongtime
priortoappearanceofanopenflameandanoticeableriseintemperature.Thedetectoris
characterisedbyahighresistanceagainstwind,pressurechangeandsteamcondensation.Itisvery
sensitivetovisiblesmoke.
TheDUR‐4046addressableopticalsmokedetectorsoperateonlyinthePOLON4000firedetecting
andalarmsystemcontrolpaneladdressableloop‐shapedlines.Thedetectorsareequippedin

4DESIGNDESCRIPTION
TheDUR‐4046detectormechanicalconstructionisshownonFig.1.Itsbasicelementisadetecting
opticalmoduleconsistingoftransmittingultravioletdiodeandareceivingdiode.Theyaremounted
inaholderinsuchawaythattheradiationemittedbythetransmittingdiodedoesnotreachthe
otherdiodedirectly.Thedetectingmodule(holderwithdiodes)isfastenedtoaprintedboardthat
containsallelectronicelementswiththedetectormonitoringprocessor.Theopticalmoduleis
protectedbyalabyrinth,dampingexternalradiation.Ametalprotectivenetpreventsirruptionof
smallinsectsorpiecesofdirtintothedetectingmodule.Thewholestructureisplacedinawhite
plastichousingcontainingabasket,adetectorcoverandascreen.
TheDUR‐4046detectorisinstalledintheG‐40basewheredetectinglinecablesareconnectedto.

5PRINCIPLEOFOPERATION
TheDUR‐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lightradiationandaphotodiodeactingasareceiver.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intodigitalformandthenanalysedbythemicroprocessorinstalledinsidethedetector.
Analarmmodeisindicatedwithapulseredlightemittedbyasignallingdiodeinstalledin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.

IK‐E306‐001GB5
CommunicationbetweenthePOLON4000systemcontrolpanelandtheDUR‐4046detectorsis
obtainedthroughanaddressabletwo‐wiredetectionline.Aunique,fullydigitalcommunications
protocolenablespassinganyinformationfromthecontrolpaneltothedetectorandinversely.Apart
fromtransmittinganevaluationoffirefactorsandtendencyoftheirchangetendency,thedetector
passestothecontrolpanel,onitsrequest,a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
DUR‐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aflashingredlightoftheilluminatingdiode.A
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.
6OPERATIONANDSERVICINGCONDITIONS
Duringthedetectorsoperationitisobligatorytoavoidcreationofdeworrimeonthedetector
surfaceaswellastoprotectagainstexcessivecontaminationwithdust.
Fortheperiodofrepairworks,thedetectorshouldbetakenout(consideringp.3.1.
provisions)orprotectedwithappropriateforthispurposecover.Suchacovercanbe
obtainedfromaninstallerorpurchasedfromthemanufacturer.Incasethedetectoris
takenout,itsbaseshouldbeprotectedagainstbeingpaintedutilisingapaintingtape.
Detectorswhicharedamagedduringpaintingandrenovationworksduetoafaultofthe
personsexecutingsuchworks(e.g.painteddetectorcasing,stuck‐with‐paintnet,etc.)are
notsubjecttowarrantyrepairs.
Duringtheoperationlife,theDUR‐4046detectorshouldbesubjectedtoperiodicalinspection
accordingtoPKN‐CEN/TS54‐14:2006standard,whichisexecutedinordertoconfirmthedetector
properoperationanditsappropriateinteroperationwiththecontrolpanel.Theinspectionshouldbe
carriedoutatleastoncein6months.
Thedetectoroperationistestedwithasmokesimulatororsmokegenerator.
TheDUR‐4046opticalsmokedetectorlong‐lastingoperationmayresultindustaccumulationinside
itsinternalopticalchamber.Afterexceedingtheself‐regulationrangeduetothechamber
contaminationprogress,thedetectortriggersatechnicalalarmmodesendingexcessive
contaminationinformationtothecontrolpanel.Itcausesanecessitytocleanthedetectoroptical

ThedetectorassemblinganddismantlingisshownonFig.2.Inordertodismantlethedetectoritis
necessaryto:
a) pressingthenetlongtongue,turnthecoverrightinthebasketuntilitistakenout;
b) removetwoscrewsthatfixthelabyrinthandtakethelabyrinthout;
c) performthenecessarycleaning.

IK‐E306‐001GB7
Adelicatebrushaswellasvacuumcleanerarerecommendedforcleaning.Compressedaircanbe
possiblyused.Itispermittedtowashthelabyrinthwithwarmwaterwithadditionofwashing‐up
liquid.Nodamppatchesshouldremainonthelabyrinthinternalsurfacesafterwashinganddrying.
Aftercleaningthedetectorshouldbeassembled,itsfunctioningshouldbetestedusingasmoke
imitatororsmokegeneratorandinstalledagainintothedetectionline.
Inthisordertoassemblethedetector,itisnecessaryto:
a) fastenthelabyrinthwithtwoscrews
b) placethebasketinthereversepositionasthatshownonthefigure;
c) insertthenetintothebasketpayingattentiontoitspositioning–alignmentwiththejuts;
d) insertthecoverintothebasketsothattheilluminatingdiodeisplacedalittletotherightin
relationtotheglass;
e) turnthecovertotheleft.
Note:Incasethecleaningdoesnotproducetherequiredresult,itisnecessarytosendthedetector
tothemanufacturerforrepair.
