4098-9714 Photoelectric Sensor

TrueAlarm photoelectric sensors use a stable, pulsed LED light source and a silicon photodiode receiver to deliver consistent and accurate low power smoke sensing. There are three user-selectable sensitivities for special applications for each individual sensor: 0.2%, 0.5%, and 1% for each foot. Standard sensitivity is 1.25% to 3.1% for each foot. The fire alarm control unit runs an algorithm that can vary the sensitivity for normal applications between 1.25% and 3.1% for each foot.

Note: Fixed sensitivity settings higher than 1.0% for each foot are not UL268 7th Edition compliant.

The sensor head design provides 360° smoke entry for optimum response to smoke from any direction. Due to its photoelectric operation, air velocity is not normally a factor, except for impact on area smoke flow.
