Transparencies (Filters)

– A panel of plastic having a known level of Obscuration, which can be

used to test the proper sensitivity threshold of an Optical Beam Smoke Detector.

Fault Condition

– The status of a device or system that impair its proper operation, i.e. open circuit

on an initiation loop. The notification of a Fault condition indicated on a control panel or annunciator
is a ”FAULT” signal
