Install, test and maintain the module according to these instructions, NFPA codes, local codes, and the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Failure to follow these instructions can result in failure of a detector to initiate an alarm event. Bosch Security Systems, Inc. is not responsible for improperly installed, tested or maintained devices.
If the signal falls below the trouble threshold for more than 20 sec (caused by an object blocking the beam for example), the receiver signals a trouble condition (see the following figure). Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Installation Instructions 2014.01 | 06 | F.01U.068.899...
3.8 VDC and 4.2 VDC. Monitor the voltage and turn on all heating and cooling devices in the area. The signal voltage must not fluctuate more than 0.20 VDC. If it does, relocate the detector to avoid these disturbances. 2014.01 | 06 | F.01U.068.899 Installation Instructions Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
Beam smoke detectors depend on the projected beam measurement to sense smoke. Trouble or alarm conditions can be caused by shifts in beam alignment when the transmitter or receiver moves. Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Installation Instructions 2014.01 | 06 | F.01U.068.899...
The total obscuration of the infrared beam depends on the density of the smoke and width of the smoke cloud along the beam path as illustrated in the following figure. 2014.01 | 06 | F.01U.068.899 Installation Instructions Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
