2.7 Use of the Elutriator
The Elutriator is an optional item and can be used if the protected area is expected to have heavy
amounts of non-combustion particulate. An Elutriator should be installed to prevent build-up of material
within the Detector. The elutriator is an inertial particle separator that allows air to flow freely through it
while separating out large particulates by allowing them to accumulate on an impact plate. Refer to
