FALSE ALARM IMMUNITY The number of detectors required to protect a given area will depend on the size of the area, the distance from the The PM-5MPX is highly resistant to false alarms. However, detector and the size and type of the fire threat. Certain a fire alarm output due to non-fire stimuli is possible.
INTRINSICALLY SAFE CIRCUITS SYSTEM TEST Intrinsically safe installations require the use of suitable After the fire protection system is installed, it should be and approved barriers, an approved fire alarm control tested for correct operation. The detectors may be tested panel that is compatible with the barriers, and wiring with live fires or by using the hand-held model PSS-MP methods consistent with ANSI/ISA-RP12.6 and other...
MAINTENANCE 3. Interconnection Wiring. Correct interconnection wiring should be checked by disconnecting any wire from the multi-conductor cable were it is connected ROUTINE VISUAL INSPECTION to the power or alarm circuit. The result, in an A properly installed PM-5MPX detector system is highly approved wiring scheme, should be a trouble signal resistant to blinding by contamination build-up on the indication at the control panel.
ORDERING INFORMATION WARNING A full system test results in an alarm output. This When ordering, please specify: will result in the suppression system being activated if it is not disabled prior to testing.
