30 Operations Manual
4D smoke/heat detectors. A 3D detector contains a combination of
photoelectric and heat sensors. A 4D detector contains a
combination of ionization, photoelectric, and heat sensors.
• The Alarm Threshold is expressed in terms of percent smoke
obscuration per foot.

• The Maintenance Indicator is a numerical value between 1 and 100.
A maintenance indicator of 80 or above indicates that the detector
requires cleaning.
