Environmentel compensation means each sens- ing element adapts to long-term chonges caused by dirt, hrm dity temperature, aging etc. It even compensates for small smaunis of ‘normal ambient smoke. Approximately six times every hour, the detector adjusts and updates the sensitvty [4 obscuration) and ‘ambient temperature baselines for each sensing element, Signoture Series environmental compenstion isso reliable that it meets NFPA72 Feld sensitivity testing requirements — without the need for external meters. Sensitivity Range - The SIGA-IPHS has a sensitivity range or win- dow of 0.67 - 3.7036 obscuration per foot, The installer selects the detector’s ALARM sensitivity evel Five settings ranging from the least sensitive at 3.5% obscuration/ft tothe most sensitive at 1.0% obscuration/t are availble ‘Automatic Day/Night Sensitivity Selection - Signature Series detectors nay be programmed for cferent sensivitis during doy ‘and night per'ods. This allows the detector to be more sensitive dur- ing uneccupied periods when lower ambient background conditions ore expected. Stobility ~The 4D detector's sensitivity remains stcble in wind ve- locities up to $00 fumin [2.53 m/secl. Ambient temperature has very litle affect on the detector. The detector may be installed in rooms. with ambient temperatures up to 100%F (38°C Electronic Addressing - The loop contrller electronically addresses each detector, saving voluoble time during system commissioning Setting corpicated switches or dials isnot required. Each detector has ts own unique serial number stored nits on-bocrad memory. ‘Tre loop controler identifies each device onthe crcut and assigns @ soft’ address to that device's serial number. desired, detectors can bbe addressed using the SIGA-PRO Signature Pragrarv/Service Tool Application ‘though photoelectric detectors have o wide range of fire sens- ing eapobiies they ore best suite for detecting slow, smoldering fre.

This detector will NOT sense fres that startin areas where smoke or heat cannot reach the detector. Smoke from fires in walls, fs, or an the opposite side of closed doors may not reach the detector to alorm it, The heat sensor in this device anly provides a source of information to supplement the information provided by the photoelectric smoke sensor.
