Room length (l) = 12m
Room length less 4m (sum of d1 & d2) = 8m
sd calculated at 3.75m, equally space the detectors at 2.67m (*note 1) apart for an even distribu-
tion of detectors and their coverage.
Note 1
Determine the number of detectors required after locating the first and last detectors. Subtract the
sum of d1 & d2 from the length and then divide the remaining distance between by number of de-
tectors plus1. For the previous example, 12 – 4 = 8, 2 detectors required; revised sd is 8 divided by
3 (2 detector +1), which provides an sd of 2.6m.
Table 6-1, Table 6-2, Table 6-3, and the associated graphics show how to determine the correct
number of ISN-SM-90 detectors to provide comprehensive detection coverage on a concrete wall
16m in length and with a height of 3m. The variable for each scenario is the detection radius setting
of the detector.

This installation utilizes ISN-SM-90 detectors on a concrete wall.

Table 6-1: Wall design - 5m detection radius
For the example detailed in Table 6-1 using two detectors at the calculated locations provides the
minimum detection that is sufficient to provide coverage for the wall. For maximum performance
and efficient coverage Bosch Security Systems recommend a more balanced layout using 3 detec-
tors.
In Figure 6-4 the sum of the calculated distances d1, sd, and the detector radius r slightly exceeds
the length of the room using two detectors.

Figure 6-5 shows a more balanced detection layout using three detectors.
