Laser Chamber Safety ICAM IFT-P detector laser chambers incorporate a 658 nm laser with an average power less than 10mW and are located on the underside of the detector when mounted upright on a wall. The laser chamber is identified by two safety labels shown in the following diagrams.

3.6% obs/m, 60 secs The product is compliant with EN54-20 flow monitoring requirements provided that the following conditions are met: Flow Low and Flow High parameters should be set to 85% and 115% respectively for ICAM IFT-P detectors. Additional Information...
The aspirator draws air from the pipe network into the detector inlets where the samples are combined, filtered, and directed to the laser detection chamber. The ICAM IFT-P uses a T-piece of pipe to combine air sampled from two inlet pipes.
ICAM by Xtralis ICAM IFT-P Product Guide Flow Monitoring The control system monitors for blockages or disconnection of the pipe network by detecting when the air flow is above or below acceptable flow thresholds. Flow thresholds are dependent on air flows measured during normalization.
This Blue LED is activated when POWER is supplied to the detector. Communications Interface ICAM IFT-P detectors can connect to a PC with Xtralis VSC or VSM4 software via Ethernet, through a RS232 direct serial connection or with RS485 via a RS485/RS232 converter. More details may be found in the ICAM Communications Guide.

Flow normalization is necessary for the detector to learn the air flow characteristics of the system. Normalization may be achieved using Xtralis VSC or VSM4 software or a Remote Display Unit, and takes about 6 minutes. It is advised that the user does not try to change any settings during the normalization process.

(For Special Application it is required obtain approval from the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction).
A Input-Output Modules ICAM IFT-P detectors have 5 relays fitted as standard. The I/O functionality may be extended by adding I/O modules. These plug onto the standard I/O module in a stackable chain of up to 3 positions. They are recognized by the processor as Modules 1 to 3 going from left to right.

ICAM IFT-P Product Guide ICAM by Xtralis D Remote Display Unit The Remote Display Unit (RDU) allows the IFT family of aspirated smoke detection systems to be monitored, controlled and programmed remotely. RS485 communication is used between the detector and the remote display unit.
Page 34
ICAM by Xtralis ICAM IFT-P Product Guide It is recommended that galvanically isolated power supplies (in accordance with UL1481) are used since the RS485 inputs/outputs are not usually isolated from the equipment internal zero volt line. The RS232/RS485 converter should also be galvanically isolated.
