3-2.5.2.4.10 How to Change a Photoelectric Detector's Supervisory Alarm Threshold
Purpose: To change the alarm threshold of one or more photoelectric
detectors reporting as supervisory initiating devices. The photoelectric
detector can be programmed to report a supervisory condition
anywhere within the obscuration range of 0.5 to 3.5 percent per foot
when used in an open-area application. Supervisory alarm thresholds
can be set in 0.1 percent-per-foot increments. One additional
supervisory-reporting range is defined for a special application. The in-
duct/DH-2000 range refers to detector placement in a DH-2000 Duct
Housing with associated sampling tubes to monitor the air in either a
supply- or return-air duct or to detector placement in a duct. The
supervisory-alarm range for this special application is 0.5 to 2.0
percent per foot.
CAUTION
This application is not UL Listed or FM Approved
