7 Operation
During operation, the ADICOS HOTSPOT-1000 monitors the area within its field of view and
triggers an alarm when the limits are exceeded. The scan interval is 100 milliseconds.
7.1 Software Access
When an ADICOS M-BUSMASTER is used, detailed information on the detector can be ac-
cessed via the M-Bus. To be able to gain the detector information, you will need a PC with
installed ADICOS service software and that is connected to the ADICOS M-Bus interface.
The communication number (COM or K.N.) shown on the ID plate and on the front of the de-
tector is used to access detailed information on the detector in the software. Parameterization
of the ADICOS HOTSPOT-1000 is also done in the software. However, only properly trained
personnel may perform this task. And in the software you can also look at the current thermal
image of the detector, enabling potential sources of ignition to be revealed.
7.2 Alarm
If the temperature limits sets in the ADICOS HOTSPOT-1000 are exceeded, the ADICOS
HOTSPOT-1000 triggers an alarm. The internal alarm relay is engaged and the red LED lights
up. The status is also transmitted via the M-Bus.
If an alarm delay has been set, the alarm is not triggered until the alarm conditions have been
met for longer than the set duration.
7.2.1
Fire Detection System Operation
If the ADICOS HOTSPOT-1000 is connected to a fire panel, the alarm is transmitted to the fire
panel via the fire detection system module. The fire detection system triggers the ADICOS
HOTSPOT-1000 alarm. The alarm relay is triggered and the red signal LED lights up. In case fire
panel does not recognize to the alarm condition and does not responds the red LED flashes.
7.2.2
Resetting Alarm
The ADICOS HOTSPOT-1000 remains in a state of alarm until the temperatures fall below the
set limits again. Scans occur at 100 millisecond intervals to determine whether the tempera-
tures have fallen below the limits. When the temperatures have fallen below the alarm limits
and the alarm conditions are no longer met, the alarm state is automatically canceled and the
alarm relay stops operation. If an alarm duration time has been set, the signal LED “Alarm” is
not reset until after a respective delay.
If the alarm LED is controlled by a fire detection system, the alarm state can be reset with the
alarm reset contact on the fire detection system.
7.2.3
Alarm Duration
The alarm duration is a parameter that can optionally be set via the ADICOS service software.
The purpose of the alarm duration is to ensure that, once the alarm conditions are no longer
met, the signal LED “Alarm” is not reset unit after a respective delay. The default alarm duration
is 7.5 minutes.
