1. General and function
The optical smoke alarm is available as an optional extra for the Marmitek
security systems of the types: Homeguard MS8000, security system
MS9470/MS9480/MS9770/MS9780, Marmitek security system base station
SC2700, SC2800.
It can detect incipient low temperature fires and open fires with smoke
development and should be in installed every room. The smoke detector
operates according to the dispersed light principle. For this a light transmitter
and receiver are arranged in a measuring chamber in such a way that the
transmitter light does not fall directly on the receiver. The development of
smoke causes the light to be dispersed by smoke particles and picked up by
the receiver. In contrast to many products on the market no radioactive
substance is necessary for the optical smoke detection.
The smoke detector will impress you owing to the following features:
•
Monitoring of rooms for the development of smoke
•
Integrated signal transmitter
•
Alarm transmission even for non-activated alarm unit
2. Intended use
The radio smoke detector is intended for signaling of smoke in interiors with
optical and acoustic warning as well as signaling by radio over distances up
to 30 meters (free field range; in combination with Homeguard the rage is
reduced because of the worse receiver of the Homeguard).
It does not sense gas, heat or flame!
The equipment may not be modified under any circumstances (otherwise all
warranty claims have been void!).
