Features
Sensitivity
The different sensitivities of the detector head can be pre-set through
switch settings on the base board so that an optimum adaptation to the
given application is possible.
The standard setting of TITANUS
®
is the display sensitivity 0.01% light
obscuration/m (sensitivity level II, refer to
2H
Fig. 2.3).

Dependent on the size of the area to be monitored and the project plan-
ning of the pipe system as well as the requirements of the operator the
specific sensitivity level can be set according to the application. The four
sensitivity levels are adjustable.
Alternative Sensitivity
It is possible to switch-over to an alternative sensitivity “AltSens” with
which the device is set one sensitivity level lower than the selected de-
fault setting. For this a control voltage of 24V DC must be applied. By
removing the 24V DC signal the preset default sensitivity level will auto-
matically be restored. This is for example the case if the air pollution of
the area monitored is lower for operation at night without operator and a
higher sensitivity of the detector is to be activated (day/night switching).
The inverse case is the use of reference detectors if the fresh air is highly
polluted. In this case the monitoring detector can be set to a less sensi-
tive level by switching over to "AltSens" so that the highly polluted air will
not cause a false alarm.
