Parameters for smoke algorithms
Offset is a fixed value added to the week average sensor value to get
the "alarm" level respectively, e.g. week average sensor value 1 +
offset 30 = 31 = the fire alarm level (equivalent to 3.1
% obscuration
per meter
).

The step value gives the alarm delay time to the algorithm
respectively, see chapter "Functions / Services / Features", page 89.
The following example is for the
N-15 algorithm
for the 4301
detector. The values for other algorithms and the 4300 detector are
different.
Offset, smouldering
: Offset value, default 15 (1.5%/m).
Offset, pre-warning
: Offset value, default 22 (2.2%/m).
Offset, alarm
: Offset value, default 30 (3.0%/m).
Level, heavy smoke
: Heavy smoke level, default 150 (15%/m).
Step value
: Default 10.
NOTE! Changing these parameters will affect the sensitivity and
detection time and should be done by authorised personnel only!!!!!

The week average value starts at "1" for a new (clean) detector. The very
first average value will be calculated within two minutes (after SSD
download & restart) and thereafter every week. The fire alarm level will be
adjusted or not adjusted every week, depending on if the latest calculated
week average value is the same as the previous, i.e. if it has increased or if it
has decreased. The week average value will normally increase very slowly in
a long-time period, due to contamination.
