Tee fitting collector to connect two inlets. IFT-P monitors the airflow for both inlets. The analysis chamber consists of an optical chamber crossed by a laser beam, through which the air sample passes. Inside, a photoelectric sensor measures the amount of laser-produced light reflected by the particles of smoke as they pass through.

1.3 Flow monitoring The monitoring system checks for any blockages, disconnections or gaps in the piping, making sure that the airflow level is not above or below the set thresholds. The flow thresholds are linked to the airflow specified during standardisation. Flow standardisation establishes the exact amount of air for that system during normal operation and sets this flow value to 100%.

Piping Detector Input accommodated Max. length of piping IFT-P 25 mm (1 in) 25 mm 2 x 100 m External diameter 2.6 Startup After installation, the unit will need to be powered up in order to carry out the commissioning and procedures and ensure correct operation in accordance with the piping layout connected.
AINTENANCE Notes: maintenance should be performed by authorised personnel. 3.1 Inspection The following steps must be taken in accordance with local standards: 1. Check the LEDs at the front for fault indications; 2. Note any indications in your report; The following pages illustrate the maintenance procedures to be carried out for the detector. These procedures are only intended for authorised personnel.
