Detector Sensitivity Settings
How to Select Pre-Alarm and Alarm Sensitivity
Each detector provides a host of selectable intelligent options. The control panel provides nine levels of
Pre-Alarm (PA:1–PA:9) and Alarm (AL:1–AL:9) in percent per foot obscuration:
• PA:0 no Pre-Alarm selection.
• PA:1 the self-optimizing setting where the control panel selects a suitable Pre-Alarm level for
a detector.
• PA:2–PA:9 the detector Pre-Alarm sensitivity level - with PA:2 the most sensitive and PA:9
the least sensitive.
• AL:1–AL:9 the detector Alarm sensitivity level - with AL:1 the most sensitive and AL:9 the
least sensitive.
Note: * Signifies the factory default setting.

3. The use of alarm sensitivities below 0.50% obscuration per foot requires a 90 day test to ensure that the environment for
the detectors is suitable for the higher sensitivity setting. (Refer to “How to Test Detectors Set Below 0.50% Obscuration
per Foot” on page 91.)
