This unit operates on the light scattering principle. An internal infra red light source is pulsed, with the
light beam arranged so as to by-pass a receiving unit. The presence of smoke scatters the light beam, causing it to be reflected onto the receiving photocell. An evaluation circuit measures the amount of light and compares it to a reference. The detector is triggered into an alarm state when the amount of smoke exceeds a preset level. To ensure against false alarms, several pulse readings are taken and compared before the detector is triggered into alarm.
