1 Product Description
1.1 Features of the TITANUS RACK·SENS®
1U air sampling smoke detection
system
TITANUS RACK·SENS® 1U is the latest generation of the renowned
WAGNER air sampling smoke detection systems. TITANUS
RACK·SENS® 1Uwas specially developed for use in 19” server racks and
control cabinets.
Sensitivity TITANUS RACK·SENS®response threshold can be set between 0.1 or
0.5 % and 2 %/ obs./m, depending on the design. The setting is adjusted
at intervals of 0.1 % obs./m. Alarm forwarding is possible starting from
0.01% obs./m via an adjustable pre-warning threshold (10 – 80% of the
main alarm threshold). An optional bar graph provides a display sensitiv-
ity from 0.01% or 0.05% obs./m. The reliable High-Power-Light- Source
in TITANUS systems ensures uniform response behaviour for different
types of fires in accordance with EN54-7 and EN54-20.
Intelligent
signal processing The TITANUS RACK·SENS® 1U features LOGIC·SENS, an intelligent
signal processing for avoiding false alarms.Complex algorithms based
on numerous fire trials and decades of experience ensure a high level of
safety in differentiating between a false alarm and a fire event.
Safe airflow
monitoring PIPE·GUARD, the comprehensive package for airflow monitoring, de-
tects safely malfunctions breakdowns such as pipe breakages or blocked
sampling holes.
Airflow monitoring is temperature-compensated and can be set to be air
pressure-dependent.
Plug and Play Installation and commissioning of the TITANUS RACK·SENS® 1U are
simple with the Plug & Play function.
The TITANUS RACK·SENS® 1U detection unit is pre-set for standard ap-
plication usage. TITANUS RACK·SENS® 1U is immediately ready for op-
eration once it has been connected to the mains or 24 V supply and is
properly commissioned.

TITANUS RACK·SENS® 1U Product Description
1– 2 Data: 03/09 TRS_A_01-en-e
Networking If fitted with on optional network card, TITANUS RACK·SENS® 1U de-
vices can be linked together in an Ethernet network. From a central point
the user can, for example, via VisuLAN T®monitor all connected units for
smoke levels, airflow values etc. In addition, the TITANUS RACK·SENS®
1U can be integrated via the so-called OPC server into existing hazard
and alert building management systems.
Potential free
contacts TITANUS RACK·SENS® 1U provides potential-free contacts for “main
alarm” and “pre alarm”, “fault”, “service blocked” and “released” as well
as for 5 programmable relays. The air sampling smoke detection system
interfaces there for collective and addressable0F1status signal easily with
any type of central fire alarm system.
2. Detection-
unit TITANUS RACK·SENS® 1U can be fitted with an optional second detec-
tor to perform as a double knock system. Each detection unit includes 2
alarm thresholds (pre-alarm and main alarm) and is provided with a sen-
sibility of 0.1 or 0.5 % obs./m.
Shutdown In order to carry out an object shutdown (electrical disconnection) a po-
tential-free relay contact is provided which can be cascaded with a high
power relay for shut down of high power server racks. Object shutdown is
essential to prevent potential re-ignition when a fire is being extinguished
after extinguishing gas concentration has depleted below effective levels.
Diagnostics The optional DIAG 3 diagnostics device, provides quick and easy device
configuration and visualisation during commissioning, inspection and ser-
vicing. For diagnostics purposes events are stored in the TITANUS
RACK·SENS® 1U.
Designing
detection points The respective project planning instructions for object protection in this
manual must be complied with when planning the TITANUS
RACK·SENS® 1U® sampling points.
Patented
detection points WAGNER’s patented aspiration reduction film sheets, clips and bande-
rols make assembly simple and comfortable and avoid whistling noises
during operation. Another advantage is the quick and easy identification
and monitoring of the aspiration sampling point diameters.

tions for extension in the form of shutdown modules and extin-
guisher/shutdown modules as well as external extinguishing cylinders.
Comprehensive
accessories The comprehensive assortment of accessories ranging from pipe com-
ponents and network cards through to optical alarm indicators enables
the TITANUS air sampling smoke detection system to be adapted per-
fectly to the application in question.
Temperature
monitoring Up to 5 external temperature sensors can be installed as part of the op-
tional temperature module. These sensors can be placed anywhere
within the monitored area. Temperature alarms are adjustable and, with
the aid of programmable relays, allow appropriate counteractive meas-
ures to be implemented if necessary.
Programmable
relays The 5 programmable relays enable specific action to be taken in the case
of specific events. This could be the forwarding of a temperature alarm
from the optional temperature module.
