8 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 8 Detector Sensitivity Adjust Ability to program each and every detector’s settings, choosing from nine sensitivity levels. Nine sensitivity settings.  Provides options for controlling sensitivity levels to meet various environmental conditions.  Prevents “false alarms” created by background noise.  Can be programmed manually or can alternate automatically between daytime and night-time settings. Nine distinct pre-alarm levels, based on pre-determined levels of alarm.

9 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 9 Detector Sensitivity Adjust Can handle: Cleanest environments  Computer server rooms  Clean rooms Most challenging detection environments where dust, water vapor and airborne particulates are prevalent:  Manufacturing facilities  Warehouses

10 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 10 Sensitivity Levels 1 - (Hospital) 2 - (Schools) 4 - (Office) 6 - (Mercantile) 7 - (Industrial) 5 - (Residential) 8 - (Laundry) 3 - (Theater) CLEAN DIRTY Alarm Too Quickly Alarm Too Slowly 9 - (Process Plant) “Clean” vs. “Dirty” Environments

11 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 11 Weekly Occupancy Schedule Permits detector sensitivity change by time of day,  Enhances ability to avoid false alarms based on occupancy.  Provides ability to increase sensitivity when building is not occupied.

12 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 12 Example: A Restaurant / Bar 0.0% 0.5% 1.0% 1.5% 2.0% 2.5% 12:00 AM 1:00 AM2:00 AM3:00 AM4:00 AM5:00 AM6:00 AM7:00 AM8:00 AM9:00 AM 10:00 AM11:00 AM12:00 PM 1:00 PM2:00 PM3:00 PM4:00 PM5:00 PM6:00 PM7:00 PM8:00 PM9:00 PM 10:00 PM11:00 PM Time of Day Back-Ground Obscuration The solution is to adjust the sensitivity based on occupancy

13 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 13 Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm A unique mode where the detector ‘learns’ its normal environment by measuring peak analog readings over a period of time ONYX panel intelligence sets the Pre-Alarm levels just above these normal peaks. Extremely sensitive pre-alarm capability with protection against nuisance alarms Reduce false pre-alarms due to spikes

14 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 14 Three Maintenance Alerts NOTIFIER software determines when the drift compensation for a detector reaches an unacceptable level that can compromise detector performance. When the detector reaches an unacceptable level, the control panel indicates one of three maintenance warning levels:  Low Threshold  Maintenance Required  Maintenance Urgent

15 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 15 Three Maintenance Alerts Upper Chamber Threshold Lower Chamber Threshold Maintenance Alert Low Chamber Value Maintenance Urgent Precise report on detector condition

16 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 16 Cooperative Sensing Exclusively from NOTIFIER Combination of up to three sensors in reaching the alarm decision. Fire alarm control panel looks at the values from adjacent devices rather than input from only one device.

17 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 17 Cooperative Sensing There are three generally accepted fire signatures; heat, smoke and light. Only NOTIFIER looks at a fourth signature: uniform smoke spread. Adds “distance” to the equation.  Smoke acts like a gas and will evenly disperse.  Increased response to uniformly distributed smoke.  Sampling over a wider area is more stable.  Reject isolated sources of false signals.

18 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 18 Supervisory Smoke ID The preferred solution:  Where the probability of unwarranted alarms is high  Where smoke sensitivity is set to an extremely low level for use as a maintenance alert. Both commercial and residential applications

19 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. 19 Supervisory Smoke ID: Commercial Applications Shift to Preventative Approach Allows smoke sensors at the most sensitive setting for quickly sensing overheating equipment prior to serious damage occurring. Upon activation, can be annunciated at an indicator panel in just the maintenance department and not to the building’s fire safety staff – to avoid alerting others unnecessarily.
