MX Fastlogic Algorithm - Principle Elements.
Several elements of the detector output are monitored and
this raw data is used by MX Fastlogic algorithm to execute a
series of processes to evaluate the probable presence of fire
including:
 Background filtering
 Instantaneous smoke density
 Rate of change of smoke density
 Smoke density weighting
 Smoke density peak suppression

 Real fire ‘experience’ comparison
Elements synonymous with false alarms are filtered while
those elements indicative of fire are weighted. These results 4098-5201 Heat Sensor. The 4098-5201 Heat Sensor
