By linking the optical sensors and the gas sensor, the OC
detector can also be used in places where the work
carried out gives rise to small amounts of smoke, steam or
dust. The alarm will only be triggered automatically if the
signal combination corresponds with the detector’s
characteristic diagram. Consequently, a very high
reliability against false alarms is obtained.
Optical sensor (smoke sensor)
The optical sensor (1) operates according to the scattered
light method. The LEDs (3) transmit light at a defined
angle into the scattered light area (7).

In case of fire, the light is scattered by the smoke
particles and strikes the photo diodes (2), which
transform the quantity of light into a proportional
electrical signal.

Interference effects from daylight and commercial lighting
sources are filtered out with an optical daylight filter and
by the use of electronic filtering and phase-locked
rectification (ambient light stability: glare test
DIN EN 54‑7).
The various light-emitting and photo diodes of the sensor
are individually controlled by the detector electronics.
Consequently, signal combinations are produced that are
independent of each other and ideally suitable for the
detection of smoke, which makes it possible to
differentiate between smoke and interference agents
(insects, objects). In addition, the time characteristics
and the correlation of the optical sensor signals for the
fire or interference detection are evaluated.
Moreover, plausibility checking of the various signals
makes it possible to detect errors in the analysis
electronics and the LEDs.
Chemical sensor (CO gas sensor)
The gas sensor (4) detects mainly the carbon monoxide
(CO) that is produced by a fire, but it also detects
hydrogen (H) and nitrogen monoxide (NO).

Chemical sensor (CO gas sensor)
The gas sensor (4) detects mainly the carbon monoxide
(CO) that is produced by a fire, but it also detects
hydrogen (H) and nitrogen monoxide (NO).
The basic measuring principle is CO oxidation on an
electrode and the measurable current that arises from
this. The sensor signal value is proportional to the
concentration of gas.
The gas sensor delivers additional information to
effectively suppress deceptive values.
Depending on the service life of the gas sensor, the
FCP‑OC 500 detector switches off the C sensors after five
years of operation. The detector will continue to function
as an O detector. The detector should then be exchanged
immediately in order to be able to keep using the higher
reliability of detection of the OC detector.
Pollution sensor
The contamination level on the detector surface is
continually measured by the pollution sensor (6); the
result is evaluated and indicated.
Contamination of the detector surface leads to active
adaptation of the threshold value (closed-circuit value
correction).
Further performance characteristics
Various operating states are indicated on the detector by
means of a clearly visible two-color LED. In the event of an
alarm, the LED flashes red.
The innovative detector locking, which operates on the
ballpoint-pen principle, provides fast and simple insertion
and replacement of the detector. We recommend the
specially developed FAA‑500‑RTL exchanger device,
especially in the case of high installation heights.
To allow convenient detector testing, the FAA‑500‑TTL
test adapter with magnet and additional service
accessories is available.
