You can set each detector, except FDX (Heat), for Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm (PA=1).
In this Self-Optimizing mode, the software measures the normal peak analog readings
and sets the Pre-Alarm level just above these normal peaks. This allows extremely
sensitive Pre-Alarm capability with reasonable protection against non-fire signals.
Figure 81 shows a graphical representation of the Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm level:

Alarm Sensitivity Levels
You can select the sensitivity of a detector from 1-9
(1=highest sensitivity; 9=lowest sensitivity).
•
Pre-Alarm Sensitivity Levels
You can select one of nine levels from 1 to 9 (0=no
Pre-Alarm, 1=self-optimizing, 2=highest sensitivity, 9=lowest sensitivity). You can
set Pre-Alarm operation to Action (latching) or Alert (non-latching) and to activate
Special Zones. For instructions on programming, refer to "How to Select a
Pre-Alarm Level" on page 78.
You can set the sensitivity levels as fixed or programmed for day and night operation.
For details, refer to"Time Control Zones" on page 71.
