Applications

BH-500 is a point smoke detector for detection of

combustion gases mainly consisting of visible particles.

The detector has a built-in thermistor and is designed for

use with Autronica’s interactive fire detection systems,

which can provide temperature information from the

detector point. The SelfVerify function ensures the highest

grade of reliability because all units comprising this

function are tested with a calibrated test once every 24

hours.

The DYFI+ intelligence combined with the SelfVerify

functions and the allround smoke sensitivity of BH-500

makes this detector the obvious choice for demanding

applications such as industrial, maritime and offshore

installations. The additional PCB coating makes this

detector ideal in corrosive and humid environments.

Optionally there is a BH-500/N version for use in

hazardous area zone 2. It must be connected to the BSD-

310/N loop driver, but does not require an isolator/barrier

unit.

Principle

Photoelectric, operating on the light scatter principle.

SelfVerify: The detectors ability to initiate alarm at correct

amount of smoke is regularly checked.

Dimensions/Connections

Use of LED output

When LED or other equipment is connected to the LED output, a varistor - Siemens SIOVS07K25 (39V) -

Autronica part. no. 116-8464-003.5039, is required between terminals 1 and 4 in base.

The LED is connected between terminals 3 and 4, terminal 3 being the positive terminal.
