Smoke alarm device
Optical smoke alarm devices save lives, as they respond
to smoke particles in the air (usually poisonous gases).
Heat detectors/heat difference detectors respond to a
maximum temperature (e.g. 65°C) or a rapid increase in
temperature.
Relay outputs
Switching outputs for external devices (lighting control,
electric shutters, other sounders, etc.)
Sabotage, tamper protection, tampering
So that the alarm panel and its components cannot be
tampered with, each component is monitored for tampering.
Opening a detector and disconnecting cables ALWAYS
triggers an alarm. The components are usually protected by
a cover contact (alarm when detector is opened) and an
anti-removal wall contact.

Scancom is the same as Scanfast, except for channel 8.

Scanfest is the same as Fast Format, except that in this

"5" (unused).
