The Stratos range of detectors is unique in being able to provide a consistent level of protection in a very wide range of environments by continuously making minor adjustments to sensitivity.
3 Programming The Stratos-Micra 100 may be programmed from a PC when connected to the detec- tor via a standard 9-pin serial lead connected to the serial port of the computer and the Detector the 9 way socket at the base of the detector (see section 7.4, ‘Connecting to a PC’).

3.4 ClassiFire ® override - Alarm levels and delays This function has no current use on the Stratos-Micra 100 but is reserved for future expan- sion purposes. 3.5 Alarm factor - Alarm levels and delays The detector sensitivity is set with this entry, which will also affect the probability of nui- sance alarms.

3.30 Aspirator speed – Flow monitoring This function has no current use on the Stratos-Micra 100 but is reserved for future expan- sion purposes. 3.31 Access code – Miscellaneous This is the access code required to amend programmable parameters. The default code is 0102.
If detection in environments conforming to these descriptions is required, alternative versions of Stratos products should be used. Maximum length of sampling pipe used with the Stratos-Micra 100 detector is 100 metres in STILL AIR with 25 sampling holes (or Capillary Remote Sampling Points). This will provide a transport time from the end of the sampling pipe within 120 seconds.

5.1 System Design Simple designs with short sampling pipes produce the best results. Complex sampling pipe runs should be avoided with the Stratos-Micra 100 detector. The use of ‘T’ branch-pipes is not recommended. The Stratos-Micra 100 detector is fitted with two sampling pipe inlets as standard.
6.1. 6.2 Electrical installation The Stratos-Micra 100 detector is supplied with removable terminal blocks (See illus- trations in Section 2.2). These are simply removed from their sockets by lifting them up at right angles to the circuit board.
7. Interfacing ® Because of the flexible nature of the Stratos-Micra 100 detector and the many possible configurations, there are many options for interfacing the detectors to the Fire Panel. These include many third party interfaces available from various manufacturers.

Stratos-HSSD 2 units have two input / output buses (1A / 1B and 2A / 2B), the Stratos-Micra 100 has only a single such bus (A / B) and therefore each bus terminal has an input and an output wire, compared with a single wire in each terminal in the Stratos-HSSD 2.

An Addressable Protocol Interface Card (APIC) may be used to decode detector infor- mation and to relay this to a Fire Panel. The APIC is fitted to the four mounting studs on the Stratos-Micra 100 PCB using the supplied screws as shown below:...
10. Maintenance Stratos-Micra is a very low maintenance detection system. If required, external cleaning of the unit should be performed using a damp (not wet) cloth. Do not use solvents as these may mar the front panel label. The only part that may require field replacement during servicing is the dust separator assembly*.
