Drift Compensation - Mircom FleX-Net Configurator Manual

From the walktest relationship view User can add a new walktest relationship for the
selected in the top pane walktest name or delete walktest relationship.
OneMan vs. assisted walktest
Walktest areas will be exported for all systems (Single or Multi-node) if defined.
•
In single node, if no Walk Test Areas are defined then the "OneMan" will be the
•
only option selectable on the panel.
In case there are no Walk Test Areas defined on multimode system, when
•
walktest menu is selected, the panel displays following message and exits: "No
walktest lists! Exiting..."
Operational restrictions
Multiple Selection of walktest name for displaying walktest relationship is not
•
allowed.
Copy / Paste walktest name is not allowed (but User can copy the name field
•
from the walktest name), Copy / Paste walktest relationship is not allowed.
User can't insert walktest between existing ones; new added walktest name will
•
be added at the end of the list. Walktest number is not editable, it is auto
generated by the Configurator starting from 1.
User can enter the same name as already defined one; Configurator will create

Drift Compensation

Contamination in smoke sensing chambers, whether ion or photo, can result in a shift to
sensor sensitivity. Drift compensation adjusts the sensor sensitivity level to compensate for
this contamination. Drift compensation applies to photoelectric, laser and ionization
sensors.
The approach is to continually adjust the alarm threshold of a sensor to compensate for
shifted clear air values from the sensor. Drift compensation is only effective in adjusting for
long-term drift. If drift compensation were to adjust the alarm threshold of a sensor too
