The FCP‑500 Conventional Flush-mount Detectors are
UL Listed, open area photoelectric smoke detectors.
Use them with commercial fire protective signaling
systems and household fire warning systems (see
NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code).
These smoke detectors are available as a photoelectric
smoke detector or as a multi‑sensor detector with an
additional carbon monoxide (CO) sensor. The
detectors are ideal for areas where increased levels of
dust and fibers are expected. Each type is offered in
white or transparent with color inserts.
These smoke detectors satisfy the most demanding
aesthetic requirements. Their ultra-low profile design
offers flush ceiling mounting. The detectors and covers
in the P versions are supplied with reversible printed
color rings in 32 colors for individual color matching.

Functions
Sensor Technology and Signal Processing
All of these detectors are equipped with two optical
sensors and a contamination sensor. The FCP‑500‑C
multi-sensor detector also has a CO sensor.
sensors and a contamination sensor. The FCP‑500‑C
multi-sensor detector also has a CO sensor.
All sensor signals are constantly analyzed by the
internal signal electronics through specially developed
algorithms.
Multiple criteria optical sensors with the CO sensor
results in an extremely high tolerance to unwanted
alarms. Consequently, the detector can be used in
areas with small amounts of non-fire-related smoke,
steam, or dust.

Optical (Smoke) Sensor (all models)
The optical sensor operates according to the scattered
light method.
The LEDs transmit pulsed infrared light at a defined
angle into the scattered light area. If a fire occurs, the
light is scattered by the smoke particles and strikes
the photo diodes that transform the quantity of light
into a proportional electrical signal.
Interference effects from daylight and lighting sources
are filtered out with an optical daylight filter and by
using electronic filtering and rectification algorithms.
The detector's various diodes (infrared and photo) are
individually controlled by the detector's electronics.
Independent signal combinations are produced that
are ideal for detecting smoke. This makes it possible
