Analogue values
The beam detector returns a pre-set analogue
value corresponding to its status. These values
are defi ned in Table 4 below.
The beam detector may return a pre-alarm
value before a full alarm condition occurs. The
analogue value depends on the smoke density
and the set obscuration level (described on page
7) as shown in Table 5.
