4.2 Output Signals
The detector controls the following outputs:
• Alarm relay
• Accessory relay
•
Fault relay
•
4-20mA current output
• RS-485 communication
The detector can be in one of the following states.
Normal: The detector is functioning normally.
BIT: The detector performs a Built-In-Test.
Warning: Fire detected - changed to warning – pre-alarm state.
Alarm: Fire detected - changed to fire alarm state.
Latched Alarm
(Optional)
The alarm outputs are latched due to the detection of a fire that
has already been extinguished.
BIT Fault: A fault is detected during BIT sequence. The detector will
continue to detect fire if the alarm conditions occur.
Fault: A fault is detected when the power supply is too low or during a
software fault.
In each state the detector will activate different outputs as specified in table 5.

Note:
1 Accessory relay can be activated at warning level or alarm level depending on
programmable function
2 The Alarm state can be latched according to programmable function
3 The detector will be in its BIT FAULT state until it has passed a successful BIT.
