Figure 17. The week average sensor value will now stay on 1.8 %/m,
i.e. the detector will be more sensitive until it is replaced with a new
one.

Service level (D).
"Sensor Information" is available via menu H4/U4. Via EBLWin and
a PC connected to EBL128 you can also get continuous "Sensor
Information" for one or several detectors.
Also via the Web-server II 1598 you can get "Sensor Information" for
one or several analog detectors on a COM loop.
The smoke detector sensor values are presented as obscuration in %
per meter (%/m). (Heat detector values as °C.)
13.3
Decision value
In order to secure real fire alarms and reduce the nuisance alarms, a
decision value is calculated. The decision value is used to decide if it
is normal state, pre-warning, fire alarm or heavy smoke alarm and also
in the smouldering smoke algorithm (see page 98). The decision
value is calculated, see chapter "Filtering algorithm, page 96.
13.4
Alarm algorithms for smoke detectors /
Detection levels / Offsets
Each alarm algorithm has three detection levels:
1.
fire alarm
(fire alarm level = the week average sensor value + the
fire alarm offset)
2.
pre-warning
will be activated (if selected in EBLWin – Control
unit Properties) at a lower level (smaller offset) than for fire
alarm, i.e. pre-warning will be activated before the fire alarm from
the same alarm point.
