False Alarm Immunity
The following table shows test results of false alarm immunity for detectors configured to “Extreme”
sensitivity. For each radiation source a distance is listed. This is the minimum tested distance, from which the
detectors did not alarm when exposed to the radiation source (either modulated or non-modulated).
False Stimuli only at Extreme Sensitivity

11. Performance F-Guard-UV-IR-F-HD
The following tables show test results of detection distances and times for different fire scenarios. Each table
lists results for a different sensitivity setting. For liquid fires the size of fire refers to the size of the pan, filled
with the fuel. For gas fires the length of the plume is listed.
