Environment
•
Environmental conditions including but not limited to dust, snow or rain can reduce the
detectors sensitivity and require additional consideration.
Hot Work
Arc welding should not be performed within 15 ft. (5m) of the detector. It is
•
recommended that the system be inhibited during welding operations in situations
where the possibility of a false alarm cannot be tolerated.
Gas welding requires a system inhibit, since the gas torch is an actual fire.
•
Arc welding rods can contain organic binder materials in the flux that burn during the
•
welding operation and are detectable by the device.
Welding rods with clay binders do not burn and should not be detected. However, a
•
system inhibit is always recommended, since the material being welded may be
contaminated with organic substances (paint, oil, etc.) that will burn and may be of the
size that should be detected.
