Product Overview
The Photoelectric | Thermal (Heat) Detector (Model FDOT421) is an intelligent,
addressable multi-criteria detector that incorporates optical and thermal sensors, and
uses signals in a neural network to create an intelligent multi-criteria detector. The
encompassing result is a detector that provides enhanced detection to a wide range of
products of combustion.
Model FDOT21 is UL 268 7th Ed. listed and incorporates advanced built-in
ISOtechnology - True Class-X SLC operation (use is optional) greatly improves
reliability, circuit integrity and provides advanced addressable fault finding.
The multi-criteria detector additionally has state-of-the-art microprocessor
circuitry (with error check), as well as detector self-diagnostics and supervision
programs that is used on Desigo Fire Safety Modular | FireFinder XLS/V and on
Model FC/FV20-series Desigo Fire Safety fire-alarm control panels (FACPs).
Additionally, Model FDOT421 is a plug-in and addressable two-wire multi-criteria
detector (with both photoelectric and thermal sensors) whose value is increased
with built-in ISOtechnology feature, that is compatible with all current Siemens
intelligent, addressable systems.
Operation
Model FDOT421 utilizes an infrared light emitting diode (IRLED), and infrared
light-sensing photodiode. Under normal conditions, light transmitted by the LED
is directed away from the photodiode and scattered through the smoke chamber
in a controlled pattern.
The smoke chamber is designed to manage light dissipation and extraneous
reflections from dust particles or other non-smoke, airborne contaminants in such
a way as to maintain stable, consistent detector operation. When smoke enters
the detector chamber, light emitted from the IRLED is scattered by the smoke
particles, and is received by the photodiode.
Model FDOT421 also utilizes a modern, accurate and shock-resistant thermistor to
sense temperature changes.
The signal processing with detection algorithms
allows the detector to first gather smoke and thermal
data, and then analyze this information in the
detector’s `neural network.By comparing data
received with the common characteristics of fires or
fire signatures, Model FDOT421 can compare these
signals to those of deceptive phenomena that cause
other detectors to trigger a false alarm.
Each Model FDOT421 detector provides three (3) pre-programmed parameter sets
that can be selected by the FACP.
