Introduction
The Comelit smoke generator is an accessory for alarm systems to be used on generic wired alarm
systems.
The main purpose is to set up a deterrence system during theft or robbery events activating both
a high-potential piezoelectric siren and a smoke generator that is able to fill an environment up to
100 cubic meters in about 30 seconds.
• Do not install the equipment in areas used for food production, storage and/or
supplying.
• Do not install the equipment in areas used for the production and/or storage of
goods for which even slight dust contamination is not admissible.
• Do not install the equipment in rooms where people and/or animals that cannot
escape in case of smoke release may be present.
• Do not install the equipment in such a way as to make it difficult and/or dangerous
to leave the premises in case of smoke release.
• Once the smoke generator is activated, it is not possible to interrupt the delivery
which lasts until the content is exhausted.
• In the event of activation, ventilate the premises within 1 hour of smoke release.
Comelit Group S.p.A. declines all responsibility in the event of non-compliance with
the instructions given in this manual and in the Safety Information.
Operation
The device can be connected to an alarm system via an electrical cable connection that can reach
a maximum distance of 200 meters.
The smoke generator consists of a sturdy plastic enclosure where the electronic control circuit,
the piezoelectric siren and the smoke generator accompanied by its own activation circuit are
housed inside. The electronic circuit is equipped with an 8-pole removable terminal block where
the following connections are present:
• VCC
power supply (positive polarity)
• Start Smoking Input
programmable startup mode
• Start Siren Input
programmable start mode
• Tamper / Anti-tear Output
NC contact referred to GND with closed enclosure.
• Used-up smoke generator
NC contact referred to GND with full smoke generator
• Error Output
NC contact referred to GND with regular operation
• GND
power supply (negative polarity) and voltage reference
for
inputs
The device allows an easy installation by indicating in real time the state of the apparatus by
lighting a multicolored LED. In order to avoid unwanted activations of the smoke generator during
installation, the apparatus recognizes the tamper opening and after 15 seconds enters “TEST and
MAINTENANCE” mode. At this stage, the activation of the smoke generator is disabled and any
accidental activation is diverted to the siren sound. This function can also be used as a system
test. The exit from the “TEST and MAINTENANCE” state is obtained 15 seconds after closing the
enclosure with the TAMPER and the anti-tear switches (if enabled) in closed position. A power
range of 3Vcc to 15 Vcc and a low current drain of about 200μA in the idle mode, allow you to use
the device in any security system.
