6.1.3 Calculating the number of detectors required – Example 3
This installation utilizes ISN-SM-90 detectors on a concrete wall.

Figure 6-8 shows the calculated sd, d1 & d2 distances.
In this example, the calculation using the d1 and the sd does not provide full detection coverage
using four detectors and so a fifth detector is required to provide coverage.
Figure 6-8: Example 3 - inadequate coverage
Figure 6-9: Example 3 - detector spacing with balanced coverage shows the recommended detec-
tor spacing. This example uses 5 detectors, keeping the d1 & d2 as per the calculated distance but
decreasing the sd to provide balanced coverage.

To balance a system design, the distances d1, d2 & sd may be reduced but never in-
