Structure and function Software can be used to set the detection behavior of the Technical CO Alarm regardless of the ASA parameter sets for fire. Software can be used to set temperature or CO ambient supervision with hysteresis. Detection of carbon monoxide (CO) at concentrations of 5 ppm CO or more ...
Structure and function 3.1.1 Features of fire detection functionality As an S-LINE detector, the FDOOTC241 has the following features with regard to its fire detection functionality: Dynamic influence on the parameter sets Pattern recognition Real time interpretation of the situation ...
Page 19
Structure and function Algorithms In comparison to the detection algorithms (DA), the individual parameters of the selected parameter set can be adapted with ASAtechnology. A real time interpretation of the situation leads to a dynamic influence on the algorithm. The real time interpretation results in a broadening of the application range of the parameter set and thus of the detector.
Structure and function 3.1.2 Features of the Technical CO Alarm Alongside its fire detection functionality, the FDOOTC241 also has a CO detection functionality with the following features: Static or dynamic alarm profiles Real time interpretation of the situation ...
Page 21
Switching over of parameter set for the 'Technical CO Alarm' The FDOOTC241 allows for the time-or process-controlled independent changing over of the parameter set for CO (Manned / Unmanned changeover). This function allows the detector to be used in places where the situation changes significantly on a regular basis.
Features of the Technical Ambient Supervision Alarm In 'Technical Ambient Supervision Alarm' mode, the neural fire detector FDOOTC241 can detect an increase in temperature or CO concentration caused by hysteresis above a specified threshold value. The control panel is used to configure the parameters.
Structure and function Setup The FDOOTC241 neural fire detector is a multiple criteria fire detector and is equipped with two optical sensors, two thermal sensors and one CO sensor. Structure and function Sensors of the FDOOTC241 1 Heat sensors 4 Labyrinth...

0. The parameter sets of the heat detector or optical detector can be selected in sensor mode 1 or 2. The neural fire detector FDOOTC241 then acts in a similar way to heat detector FDT241 or smoke detector FDO241.
CO monitoring compares the current measured CO concentration with a preset threshold value. You can set the following parameters on the neural fire detector FDOOTC241: CO concentration or temperature threshold value Alarming when the temperature threshold value is exceeded or undershot ...
Provided that a control panel allows the parameter set for CO to be configured, we would recommend configuring it. The neural fire detector FDOOTC241 cannot be operated as a pure CO detector. You must always select a parameter set for fire as well as the parameter set for...
CO are not the only basis for reaching a warning level for CO. The CO progression is also observed over a longer period of time and evaluated using algorithms. Neural fire detector FDOOTC241 can convey the following warning levels to the control panel in the form of a technical message:...
Page 28
Structure and function For details, see table below. The CO sensor can only be monitored for failure. For a functional test, the CO sensor must be tested with test gas. When a fatal error (one which impairs the detector's function) occurs, a fault message is signaled.
Structure and function 3.3.6 Line separator All FDnet devices are equipped with a line separator. The FDnet device is equipped with electronic switches which isolate the defective part in case of a short-circuit on the detector line. The rest of the detector line remains serviceable.
Structure and function 3.3.10 Test mode For testing purposes the detector can be set to test mode. In test mode the detector reacts faster and with a higher sensitivity level. The detector can be tested with the detector exchanger and tester FDUD292 or the intelligent detector tester FDUD293.
(e.g. hold-open system), the output assumes the configured fail-safe position; configuration for a specific control panel is possible. In degraded mode operation, the FDOOTC241 only supports the 'Fire' alarm class. If the 'CO' alarm class is also to be supported in degraded mode operation, technical customer support should be informed.
Structure and function 3.3.12 Interface to service devices A proximity interface (MC link) is available for commissioning and maintenance in order to communicate with the detector exchanger and tester FDUD292 and the intelligent detector tester FDUD293.

Planning Planning Fire detection 4.1.1 Ambient features In selecting the optimum fire alarm parameter set, the following factors must be taken into account: Risk of injury to persons Concentration of valuable items Room geometry Deceptive phenomena Risk of fire ...
Planning Risk of fire In production facilities where highly combustible materials such as flammable liquids, cotton, paper etc. are processed and where electrical machines are operated, the fire risk is very high. Minor overheating or sparks may cause a fire. In a storehouse where steel is stored and where no electrical installation is provided with the exception of lighting, the fire risk is very low.

Robust (2): This parameter set reacts to aerosols in a similar way as the neural fire detector FDOOTC241 in sensor mode 0 with the 'Robust' parameter set, without taking into account the temperature. Universal (1): With 'Universal' the sensitivity and response time to aerosols are between 'Robust' and 'Sensitive'.
When delivered, the default parameter set (parameter set 0) is set in fire detector FDOOTC241. The following table shows the default parameter set in the various sensor modes. Fire detector FDOOTC241 Default parameter set Sensor mode 0 (neural fire detector)
Application recommendations such as the selection of the detector settings for the various applications are described in document 010030. The following table includes examples regarding the selection of the parameter set for the FDOOTC241. The examples cannot be used universally, but illustrate typical applications. Environment...
However if CO is produced in a fire, it is warmer than the surrounding air and rises towards the ceiling with the smoke. If the FDOOTC241 is used as a fire detector for this scenario, the positioning rules which apply to fire detectors also apply to the FDOOTC241.
Planning 4.2.2 Parameter sets: Sensor mode 0 'Technical CO alarm' 4.2.2.1 Description (Parameter set numbers in brackets) Robust EU1 (0): Default parameter set with a static alarm threshold of 60 ppm CO. This parameter set has a large compensation range and rapid compensation. Balanced EU2 (1): This parameter set corresponds to the dynamic CO alarm thresholds according to EN 50291:2001.

At 50 ppm CO, alarming must take place after between 60 and 90 minutes. At an ambient temperature of ≥ 80 °C, the CO sensor may not function reliably. Irreversible signaling of a critical fault therefore follows. The FDOOTC241 may only be used in continuous operation within the specified temperatures! See also ...
Planning 4.2.3 Default settings When the neural fire detector FDOOTC241 is supplied, the default parameter set for CO (parameter set 0, 'Robust EU1') is set. The optimum parameter set for CO must be selected when commissioning the fire detection system. The selection criteria are the existing risk and ambient conditions.
Ambient features In markets where the use of the 'Technical Ambient Supervision Alarm' is permitted, the neural fire detector FDOOTC241 can be positioned above or near objects which require the ambient temperature or CO concentration to be monitored to prevent damage.
2 Output signal When an ambient temperature of 35 °C is reached, the neural fire detector FDOOTC241 sends an output signal to the control panel. As long as the hysteresis range is not undershot, the output signal is sent. In the example shown, the output signal is no longer sent once the ambient temperature of 30 °C (threshold value minus hysteresis range) is undershot.
Planning 4.3.1.2 CO monitoring CO monitoring compares the current measured CO concentration with a preset threshold value. Alarming takes place when the current measured CO concentration temperature exceeds the set threshold value. You can set the CO concentration threshold value in stages of 5 ppm between 20 and 600 ppm.
Planning 4.3.3 Default settings When the neural fire detector FDOOTC241 is delivered, the 'Technical Ambient Supervision Alarm' mode is switched off. You can switch on and configure the 'Technical Ambient Supervision Alarm' using the control panel. For more detailed information, please refer to the control panel documentation.
