Environment

Environmental condi ons including but not limited to dust, snow or rain can reduce the
detectors sensi vity and require addi onal considera on.
Hot Work

Arc welding should not be performed within 12 . (3.5m) of the detector. It is
recommended that the system be inhibited during welding opera ons in situa ons
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 opera on 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.
