5358 PHOTOELECTRIC SMOKE DETECTOR

(In Typical Application) PIN 1 (C1) A capacitor connected to this pin determines the gain of the photo amplifier during the push-to-test mode and during the chamber monitor test. A typical value for this high-gain mode is 0.047 µF but should be selected based on the photo chamber background reflections reaching the detector and the desired level of sensitivi.

Features

for a photoelectric type smoke detector. This device can be used in conjunction with an infrared photoelectric chamber to sense scattered light from smoke particles. Special features are incorporated in the design to facilitate calibration and testing of the finished detector. The device is designed to comply with Underwriters Laboratories Specification UL217 and British Standard BS 5446, Part 1. A variable-gain photo amplifier can be directly interfaced to an infrared emitter/detector pair. The amplifier gain levels are determined by two external capacitors that are then internally selected d.
