General safety points Instruction Manual FireGuard 2 Preventing undesirable online access attempts SIGRIST instruments are equipped with an integrated web user interface and Modbus TCP interface, thus offering state-of-the-art administration and control possibilities. However, if these are connected directly to the Internet, then any In- ternet user can in principle access your instrument and change the configuration.
▪ The material quality of the screws used must correspond to the local mounting and installation guidelines. General information on mounting the FireGuard 2 Figure 6: Installation position in the air flow ▪ The opening on the sampling point (X) must point in the direction of travel in the tunnel.
Installation with variable mounting bracket 0 .. 90° A variable mounting bracket 0 .. 90° allows the FireGuard 2 to be mounted horizontally on walls (1), at an angle between 0 and 90° (2) and vertically in suspended ceilings (3). Carry out the installation according to the FIREGUARD2_0-90-MB drawing.
Instruction Manual FireGuard 2 Mounting Installing the FireGuard 2 in suspended ceilings Damage to the photometer in the event of fire due to incorrect selection of the measuring position. If the photometer is mounted in the exhaust air duct, then it can become damaged in the event of fire due to the high temperatures.

Page 51
Settings Instruction Manual FireGuard 2 8.2.3 How a limit is formed A non-integrated measuring value is used internally to form the limit for the turbidity value. If all measuring values are above the limit across the set cut-in delay time, then an alarm is triggered.
Page 52
Instruction Manual FireGuard 2 Settings 8.2.4 Defining the cut-in delay A cut-in delay prevents alarms caused by individual peaks in the measuring values. Setting this value too low can lead to an increase in the amount of false alarms. Setting this value too high can lead to a delay in the alarm being triggered.
Page 53
Settings Instruction Manual FireGuard 2 8.2.5 Defining the cut-out delay The event (E) must be interrupted for at least the cut-out delay time (T ) for the relay (R) to switch off. Short interruptions to an active event can thus be bridged.
Page 54
Instruction Manual FireGuard 2 Settings 8.2.6 Calculating the gradient A constant mean value (Mw 1/2) is calculated from two consecutive five-second intervals (first block with 10 measuring values, second block with 10 measuring values). The difference between both mean values forms the gradient, which is then scaled to one minute.
Settings Instruction Manual FireGuard 2 Setting the outputs for limit monitoring 8.3.1 General information on limit monitoring Two digital outputs (O1/O2) are available for the status output of faults and limits.
