M
monitoring area Area which is monitored by an automatic smoke
detector.
monitoring window The normal air flow lies within an adjustment
range between a defined upper and lower value.
This range is the monitoring window.
N
nominal gap width Maximum gap in the housing of the detonation
prevention device without an ignition spark being
flashed from the device to the potentially explosive
area.
P
primary line Primary lines are transmission lines permanently
and automatically checked for short circuit and
interruption. They serve the transmission of
important function signals of smoke detection
systems.
Q
quiescent current Current on the detection line in its normal
operational state, → alarm current
R
response sensitivity The response sensitivity describes the sensitivity
at which an alarm is activated (
→
detector module
sensitivity).
S
scattered light smoke detectors Scattered light smoke detectors are optical smoke
detectors. They use the phenomenon of scattered
light through smoke particles which changes the
signal at the light diode.
secondary line Non-monitored transmission lines.

detector module sensitivity
single hole monitoring Detection of changes (e.g. blockages) of the
diameter of each single air sampling point.
smoke detection system Detection of changes (e.g. blockages) of the
diameter of each single air sampling point.
smoke detector Smoke detectors react to combustible particles
and/or → aerosols (floating particles) in the air.
