Technical Specifications
Detection Principle
FCP-500(-P): Scattered light measurement
FCP-500-C(-P): Combination of scattered light measurement and CO
measurement
Drift Compensation
all FCP-500 detectors: Drift compensation for smoke sensor baseline
(optical sensors)
in addition,
for FCP-500-C(-P):
Drift compensation for CO sensor
