C.2.3 Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm
You can set each detector, except FST-851/751 (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. The figure below shows a graphical
representation of the Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm level:
Figure C.3 Self-optimizing Pre-Alarm Level
C.2.4 Detector Sensitivity
The control panel provides nine Sensitivity Levels (Table C.2 on page 107) for alarm detection and
pre-alarm as follows:
• 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
Appendix C.3, “Pre-Alarm”, on page 106.
You can set the sensitivity levels as fixed or programmed for day and night operation.
