1 Product overview

Smoke detector «IPD-Ex» (hereinafter, IPD-Ех) refers to intrinsically 

safe electric equipment with «ia» level «intrinsically safe electric circuit» 
explosion protection. The detector is designed for detecting ignitions 
accompanied by smoke with subsequent transmission of an alarm 
message to BRSS-Ex zone extension module (hereinafter, BRSS-Ex).

2 Features and Specifications

2.1 IPD-Ex has 0ЕхiаIIСТ6 Х explosion proof labeling.

2.2 Intrinsically safe electric circuits of IPD-Ex have the following 

valid parameters:

- maximum input voltage (U

) – 16 V;

- maximum input current (I

i

) – 65 mA;

- maximum internal capacitance (C

i

- maximum internal inductivity (L

i

) – 0.01 mH.

2.3 Nominal voltage supply (U

) – 12 V.

2.4 IPD-Ex consumed current in standby mode does not exceed 

100 

μ

A.

2.5 IPD-Ex generates fire alarm messages by jump-in reducing of 

internal resistance in normal polarity. Message is followed  by built-in 
LEDs lighting.

2.6 IPD-Ex continues generating response signal until it’s exposure 

to combustion products finishes. Fire alarm message reset is fulfilled 
by deenergizing the IPD-Ex for the time 2 sec or more.

2.7 The sensitivity of IPD-Ex corresponds to ambient smoke content 

with optical density value from 0.14 dB/m.

2.8 The sensitivity value of IPD-Ex does not change from item to 

item and does not depend on the following:

- the number of detector responses (repetance);
- the influence of air flows;
- orientation in respect of air flows direction;
- supply voltage.
2.9 IPD-Ex response delay – maximum 5 sec.
2.10 IPD-Ex current consumption in standby mode – maximum 

100 

µ

A.

2.11 IPD-Ex compensates optical chamber dustiness. After reaching 

the limit of dustiness inside the protected area, IPDT-Ex generates 
malfunction message followed by built-in LED indicators blinking with 
1.25 sec interval.

2.12  Ambient  class  –  Boreal  climate  (background  temperature 

 

15 – 35 

о

С, relative humidity 25 – 75 %, air-pressure 86 – 106 kPa).

2.13 IPD-Ex IP rating is IP30.
2.14 IPD-Ex ensures safe operation when exposed to:

- power supply voltage variation within 8 … 14 V range;

- background natural and/or artificial illumitation of 12 000 lx or more;
- ambient temperature  from minus 30 up to +55 

о

С;

- relative air humidity 93 % at tempe40 

о

C;

- impact of sinusoidal vibration with acceleration of 0.5 g within the 

frequency range 10 ... 150 Hz;

- impact of the straight mechanical blow delivered with the energy 

1.9 J.

2.15 IPD-Ex is resistant to electromagnetic interference.

2.16 IPD-Ex is designed for continuous operation around the clock.

2.17 Maximum dimensions of IPD-Ex are 

∅ 

125 x 70 mm.

2.18 Maximum weight of IPD-Ex is 0.2 kg.

2.19 IPD-Ex mean time to failure (MTTF) – at least 60 000 h.

2.20 IPD-Ex  average service life (SL): at least 10 years.

Figure 1 – Recommended pattern of IPD-Ex connection  

to BRSS-Ex (the number of IPD-Ex connected to a  

single BRSS-Ex loop should not exceed 10)

4.2.4 IPD-Ex maximum current value in the «Fire» alarm state is  

3.5 mA; therefore, the detector may be connected to a fire alarm loop 

without a current-limiting resistor. When it is necessary to reduce 
operating current, a current-limiting resistor must be connected to 
the detector in series.

4.2.5 Install the detector into the base and reliably fasten it to the 

base by it’s turning as far as it will go.

4.2.6 Energize the BRSS-Ex. Make sure that it’s built-in indicators 

display a standby mode.

4.2.7 Insert a reflector into the IPD-Ex through a hole in the center 

of the optical chamber (any metal wire having about 1 mm in diameter 
(a needle or a paper clip) may be used as a reflector). The detector 
must transmit a «Fire» alarm signal to the BRSS-Ex with maximum delay 

of 5 sec; it’s operation must be followed by the built-in LED indicators 
lighting. After the reflector is removed from the optical chamber, the 

«Fire» alarm signal should continue. 

Note 

– In case the detector does not blink in standby mode and 

does not operate after inserting a reflector, check the base and the 
IPD-Ex contacts reliability.

4.2.8 Reset the «Fire» signal by deenergizing the detector for  

2 sec or more.

4.2.9 Reenergize the loop to which the detector is connected. The 

built-in indicator should display a standby mode. IPD-Ex is ready for 
operation.

Attention!

 The detector must be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or 

blown with air at 0.5 – 2 kg/cm

2

 pressure regularly (at least half-yearly). 

After blowing, check the IPD-Ex operation as per Cls. 4.1.2.6 – 4.1.2.9.

4.2.10 The «3» and «4» contacts are closed to each other inside the 

IPD-Ex, permitting the BRSS-Ex to diagnose the «Open loop» state in 
case at least one IPD-Ex is removed from the fire alarm loop.

5 Protective Meas ures

5.1 Exploitation of the IPD-Ex should be fulfilled in accordance 

with rules of technical exploitation and protective measures for  
electricity-generating equipment.

5.2 Fulfill the IPD-Ex installation with the external power switched off.

6 Manufacturer’s Guarantees

6.1 The manufacturer guarantees conformity of the IPD-Ex to the 

specifications provided the transportation, storage, installation and 
operation conditions are observed.

6.2 The guaranteed shelf life of an IPD-Ex is 42 months since the 

date of manufacture. The guaranteed useful life is 36 months since the 

day of putting into operation within the guaranteed shelf life.

6.3 An IPD-Ex that is found non-conforming to the requirements of 

specifications should be repaired by the manufacturer.
