ACCLIMATE
The Acclimate feature allows the detector to observe its operating environment over a one-hour period. The
detector then adjusts its alarm level between the user programmable Alarm Levels. This feature is enabled
by default on all photo and ion detectors. It is internal to these devices and allows them to become
accustomed to their operating environment.
3.4.4
DRIFT COMPENSATION
All CyberCat intelligent detectors automatically perform a drift compensation routine. Drift compensation is a
feature that allows the detector to become accustomed to its operating environment. This helps to ensure
that as dust and dirt build-up in the detector chamber, it does not cause a false alarm on the detector by
gradually adjusting for this increase. Drift compensation is performed on a long-term basis, where the
Acclimate feature is performed on a short term basis.
3.4.5
DAY/NIGHT/HOLIDAY SETTINGS
If smoke detectors are located in a hazard area that is much more active during typical operation hours, and
quiet during off hours, it may be optimum to utilize the Day/Night/Holiday Schedule. This option provides the
ability to have two separate alarm thresholds; one less sensitive alarm threshold during operational hours,
one more sensitive alarm threshold during non-operational hours. Each input detector has two alarm
sensitivity thresholds. Night Alarm Level is always used on all detectors. Day Alarm Level is only used if
Day/Night /Holiday Schedule are selected.
If Day/Night/Holiday is selected as active, the On and Off times must be configured and the holidays need
also be configured. The panel can be configured for twenty holiday dates which must be updated each
calendar year. On non-holiday dates, a start time (hour AM/PM and minute) and stop time are configured for
alarm sensitivity changes. Detectors enabled for this will change to Night Alarm Level when the start time is
reached and revert back to Day Alarm Level when the stop time is exceeded. On holidays, the system will
remain at Night Alarm Level.
Note:
The Acclimate feature is not used when day/night thresholds are used.
3.4.6
FLAME ENHANCE (NON LISTED)
The Photo/Heat detector provides a flame enhance operation that will provide a faster response than a
conventional photo/heat device. If the device senses an increase in obscuration AND an increase in
temperature, it will speed up its alarm response calculations. Also, if the temperature rise is greater than 3
◦
C
(37.4°F) AND there is greater than 1%/ft obscuration detected, it will also speed up the alarm response
calculations for the photo detector.
