period had been several hours and it will take several hours before the distribution shows
the true normal spread. The alarm trigger level is set by the spread, in terms of the
standard deviation. In order to compensate for the initial FastLearn, the figure for this
is increased by a factor that is gradually decreased to unity over the initial period. This
gives an artificially slightly high alarm level for the first few hours after installation but
needs only fifteen minutes before the detector becomes operative. As the detector has
to discern between day and night periods, then the detector takes an initiation period
of 24 hours as part of the initial self set up.
The fast histogram is constantly maintained as well as the standard histogram, and is
used to compare with it in order to show short term changes or trends. Short term
changes will occur with changes in use of the protected area. The problem with
changes in use is that, with, say, a seven hour learning period, the detector will have
only just learned about one period after a change, when another change occurs and it
begins to learn about that. The detector never has time to settle fully to its current use.
For all practical purposes, changes of use cover only two different levels of use. These
are usually day time and night time, but for the sake of generality may be referred to
as normal time and quiet time.
The problem of maintaining correct alarm trigger levels, in spite of changes in use at
occupied and unoccupied times, is solved by having two standard histograms, one for
the normal time and the other for the quiet time. When the detector is first installed the
approximate times of day for the changes in use are programmed into the micro-
processor. Within a 140 minute period of these set day and night start times (70
minutes either side of the actual time set), the processor looks for a change of use by
comparing the fast histogram with the present standard histogram. When it is satisfied
that it has detected a change within this 140 minute period, it switches to the alternative
standard histogram and notes the time it occurs. The alternative standard histogram
will contain all the learning from the previous time it was used and consequently needs
no time to re-learn it. The time that was originally programmed for the change to occur
is compared with the time it actually occurred and if there is a difference, the
programmed time is modified to be nearer to the actual time. After some days, the
programmed time will be showing the average of the actual times the changes occur
and will have the ability to capture the next time a change occurs if it is within an hour
of it. This is useful when the clocks change from summer to winter time and activities
change according to the clock.
