1.5.6 Detector Status
The possible detector function statuses are listed in Table 6. A more detailed
fault analysis can be seen via HART or RS485.
Table 6: Detector Status
Status Description
Normal Normal operation.
BIT Built-In-Test being performed.
Warning Fire detected - changed to Warning (pre-alarm state).
Alarm Fire detected - changed to Fire Alarm state.
Latched Alarm
(Optional)
The alarm outputs remain latched on following detection
of a fire that has already been extinguished.
BIT Fault
A fault is detected during BIT sequence or other electric
failure. The detector will continue to detect for fire.
Fault
A fault is detected when the power supply is too low or
due to a software fault or electrical failure. The detector
will NOT detect fire in this condition.
In each state, the detector activates different outputs, as specified in
Table 7.

Notes:
1
The alarm outputs are activated while alarm conditions exist and will
stop approximately 5 seconds after the fire is no longer detected.
2 The Alarm state can be optionally latched via programmed function.
(Default is non-latching).
3
The detector will remain in BIT Fault state until it has passed a
successful BIT.
