2.3 System Description
Up to three detection principles are integrated in FAP-420/FAH-420 series detectors:
– Optical (for smoke): O
– Dual-optical (for smoke): DO
– Thermal (for heat): T
– Chemical (for gas): C
The individual sensors are programmed via the LSN network manually or using a timer. All
sensor signals are analyzed continually by the internal signal analysis electronics (ISP) and are
linked with each other. By linking the sensors (combined detectors), the detector can also be
used in places where the work carried out gives rise to light smoke, steam or dust. If a signal
combination fits the selected identifier for the area of operation for the detectors, an alarm is
triggered automatically.
2.4 Flash Frequency and Error Detection
The LSN improved detector has two centrally positioned two-color LEDs that flash green to
display the operational status.
The green LED on LSN improved FAP-420/FAH-420 series detectors is deactivated when
delivered. It can be activated as required via the programming software.
The LSN improved detector permanently monitors and adjusts itself throughout its life cycle
in order to adapt its sensitivity to the set threshold value.
A message is sent to the fire panel if the detector becomes too contaminated.
The LED will start to flash red as soon as an alarm is triggered.
The detector will return to its normal operating condition when the alarm is canceled via the
control panel or if the alarm cause disappears.
2.5 Features
– Active self-monitoring of the sensors, with display on the fire panel:
– Active adjustment of the threshold (drift compensation) if the optical sensor
becomes contaminated.
– Active adjustment of the threshold (drift compensation) of the chemical sensor.
– EMC safety is 50 V/m in the 1-3000 MHz range and is therefore much higher than
required by VdS 2110 (VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH). (Except DO detectors.)
– Preservation of LSN loop functions in the event of wire break or short-circuit of a
detector through integrated isolators.
– Individual detector identification on the fire panel in the event of an alarm. Alarm
indication on the detector with a flashing red LED.
– Programmable, i.e. can be adjusted to the area of operation.
– Increased detection and false alarm security thanks to evaluation of the temporal
behavior of fire and disturbance variables.
– Activation of a remote indicator is possible.
– Optional mechanical removal safeguard (can be activated/deactivated).
– Dust-resistant labyrinth and cap construction.
– Every detector base has a Chamber Maid Plug (a cleaning opening with a plug) for
blowing out the optical chamber with compressed air (not required for the FAH-T 420
Heat Detector).
– For connecting to the FPA-5000 and FPA-1200 fire panels with extended range of LSN
features.
