Function

The KRM-X duct smoke detector is designed for smoke detection 
in ventilation ducts. It is a combination of a smoke detector and 
an adapter system whose measuring tube and housing have 
been specially adapted for optimal airflow through the smoke 
detector.
The multi-chamber measuring tube in the air duct carries the air 
within the air duct along the entire length of the tube, through 
the detector chamber and back into the air duct. Upon detec-
tion of smoke, the detector reacts immediately and triggers an 
alarm. Over time, the sensor becomes contaminated. Detector 
sensiti vity remains constant up to complete contamination due 
to alarm threshold tracking. The detector triggers from 70 % con-
tamination upwards, indicating this by flashing. If the detector is 
not replaced, a smoke alarm is triggered at 99 % contamination. 
The contamination level is indicated in a two-line LED display, 
which begins to flash at > 70 % contamination. At the same time 
the “contamination” relay drops out. 
Operability is verified by electronic airflow monitoring, with a 
blue LED lighting up at < 1 m/s. The failure LED lights up when the 
smoke detector or the electronic system is defective, and in the 
absence of a smoke detector. The smoke alarm must be released 
with the reset button. The same button can be used to perform 
a functionality test. This test simulates a smoke alarm. The same 
function is activated on restart, as well as when the bridge circuit 
between terminals 9 and 10 is opened (remote release).
