Standard detector
The standard detector may be operated as a stand-alone unit, or may be part of
a network of detectors centrally monitored by a command module. It may be
programmed via its front panel, as in the standard detector and command
module versions, shown in Figure 2 on page 5 and Figure 3 on page 6.
Alternatively, the standard detector can be ordered without a front panel display
(minimum display) as shown in Figure 1 on page 5. The detectors may be
programmed remotely via the detector’s RS-485 terminals using a command
module, or via the detector’s RS-232 port using a PC running the Remote Control
software. A copy of this software is supplied with each detector.
The standard detector without a front panel display is housed in a rugged sheet
metal steel enclosure. This detector includes LEDs to indicate alarms, faults, and
normal operating conditions. The standard detector with display (and command
module) can also be ordered with the steel enclosure.
