 1.3 Operating principle
The linear smoke detector operates on the basis of the extinction principle, i.e. the reduc-
tion in light intensity due to smoke is measured. The transmitter (IRED) emits a strongly
focused infrared light bundle along the optical measuring section. Without smoke a large
part of the beams attains the reflector and is sent back in the same direction toward the
receiver. The arriving light produces an electrical signal on the photodiode of the receiver.

Transmitter
Measuring section
Detector Reflector

Fig. 1 Linear smoke detector without smoke

If smoke penetrates the measuring section, part of the light beams is absorbed by the smoke
particles while another part is scattered by the smoke particles, i.e. the light beams merely
change direction. The remaining light reaches the reflector. The remaining light is then reflec-
ted and once again passes through the measuring section and is further attenuated. Thus only
a small portion of the beam reaches the receiver and the signal (Ssmoke) becomes smaller.

3.2 Structure of the infrared beam

The infrared beam emitted by the transmitter to the reflector is not a strictly parallel bundle
of rays. It exhibits a certain degree of scattering which makes it conical in shape. The radi-
ation energy decreases towards the outside, so that the beam can be divided into the
three effective, core and scattered regions. The reflector possesses the characteristic to
retransmit the received light.

 The effective region corresponds to the ribbon connecting transmitter, reflector and re-
ceiver.
The core region contains sufficient radiation energy to operate the system.
The energy in the scattered region is not sufficient to ensure reliable operation of the

3.3 Alignment possibilities

The infrared beam can be adjusted by each 10° in horizontal direction and each 5° in
vertical direction from the centre axis. When selecting the optimum mounting location
bear in mind that this adjustment range can be fully used. Experience has shown that
the detector and reflector should be arranged as parallel as possible especially with

ÈÈ ÈÈ
distances of >50m, as this makes adjustment simpler.

 3.4 Reflectors
Retroreflectors reflect the received light beam in parallel to the latter. For this reason the
reflector does not have to be installed thereby mandatory right–angled to the infrared
beam. Also vibrations and distortions of the reflector mounting wall do not cause any
problems. Another advantage is that any extraneous light is also reflected in its own di-
rection and consequently does not reach the receiver.

DLR1191 prism
The retroreflecting prism has the shape of a pyramid whose lateral faces are formed by
isosceles orthogonal triangles. Light beams entering through the base are completely re-
flected twice on the lateral faces and reflected back through the base.
The prism is installed in a housing that is identical to the one used for the detector base.
The reflector is equipped with a reflector heater at the factory. If dew condensation is pos-
sible the heater should be connected to a 24V supply.

DLR1192, DLR1193 reflector foil

This foil consists of microprismatic elements that are formed by transparent, synthetic
resin sealed to a plastic substrate. In principle, the reflector foil has the same effect (func-
tion) as the prism.

 3.6 Description of block diagram
The transmitter 1 transmits the light pulses to the reflector 2 . This transmits the light
pulses back to the receiver 3 . The light pulses are proportional to the signal current,
which is amplified in the preamplifier 4 and fed to the customer-specific integrated circuit
(ASIC) 5 . The microprocessor (µP) 6 synchronizes the receiver pulses with the trans-
mitter pulses so that no external pulse is evaluated.
The sensor-specific functions are contained in the ASIC. It is used to filter signals, pro-
cess signals using fuzzy algorithms, amplify signals and for the entire sequence control
which is synchronized with the µP.
The µP communicates with the control unit via the line interface 7 via terminals 8 and
the two-wire bus line. The detector receives commands which activate the type of opera-
ting mode, diagnostic stages etc. via the data interface which is integrated in the line inter-
face. The detector transmits response signals, the results of diagnostic polling and status
signals back to the control unit.
With the help of the isolation function, sections which malfunction are “isolated”, so that in
the event of a short circuit, the entire bus line does not break down. Upon short circuit, two
“electronic switches” (FET) open automatically and isolate the line in the area where the
malfunction has occurred until the short circuit has been eliminated.
The internal response indicator (AI) 9 and the external response indicator 10 provide in-
dication of alarm and are activated by the control unit.
The 6 DIP switches 11 allow parameterization of the detector (see section 6.1).
The REED contact 12 serves to initialize the detector during commissioning (see section
6.4).

 3.7 Functions in operation with interactive system

3.7.1 Emergency operation

If the DLO1191 can no longer be polled by the control unit, for example, due to a µP fail-
ure, it switches automatically to emergency operation. In the event of a fire this detector is
still able to trigger a collective alarm.

3.7.2 Line isolation function

If a short circuit occurs on the detector bus line, detectors with separator prevent failure of
the entire bus line because only the defective portion of a line is isolated. The DLO1191
features such a isolation function. Before and after the detector an electronic switch
(FET) is installed in the bus line. This switch opens automatically in the event of a short
circuit and the defective portion of the detector line is disconnected.

3.7.3 Diagnostic facilities

A detector can transmit four events to the control unit:
Danger level 0 (quiescent value)
Danger level 1 (possible danger)
Danger level 2 (probable danger)
Danger level 3 (highly probable danger)
Danger level 1 For early warning where installation locations are critical, the number of times the thresh-
old to danger level 1 is exceeded is counted by the control unit. When the counter reaches
a preset value an information «application warning» is displayed. This information is reg-
istered in the event memory of the basic parameterization of the control unit.
Danger level 2 The occurence of danger level 2 causes the actuation of an information «Warning» in the
basic parameterization of the control unit. This information is also actuated in the event
memory of the basic parameterization of the control unit.
Danger level 3 As a rule, this is a precondition for direct alarm actuation. Dual or multiple cross-zoning is
possible through corresponding programming of the control unit.

 3.7.4 Self-test / functional state
Periodically or on request by the control unit a comprehensive detector self-test is initi-
ated which monitors the signal amplifier and the EEPROM.
Also periodically monitored are the compensation value, line voltage, etc. The entire sig-
nal path is monitored with the compensation value. If the compensation value is too high
or too low, a corresponding signal is generated.
If the detector signals status changes, the control unit is able to read out the cause from
the detector memory.
«Functional state 0» corresponds to «Normal state»
«Functional state 1» corresponds to «Information»
e.g. thermal turbulence, repeated interruption of the beam, condensation
«Functional state 2» corresponds to «Impairment»
e.g. compensation value too high/too low, voltage at reservoir capacitor is too low
«Functional state 3» corresponds to «Fault»
e.g. data fault in the EEPROM, beam interruption, compensation value is invalid

3.8 General detector functions

3.8.1 Alarm algorithms

Compensation value
The compensation value (NFW) is the reference variable for the actual measurement sig-
nal. All thresholds, diagnostic functions and self-checking are based on the current com-
pensation value.
The first compensation value (NFW) is set at the time of initialization. It is subsequently
updated approx. every 60 minutes to compensate a slow drift of the measurement signal.
This drift can be caused, for example, by contamination of the detector optics.
The maximum compensation is 50% of the total signal of 100%.

Response threshold
The response threshold corresponds to a danger level.
An alarm algorithm is activated when the response threshold drops.
According to the sensitivity setting, the response threshold is higher or lower.

Smoothing
The measuring signal is measured with a 6Hz clock. The raw data are processed with

caused by signal interference are ”smoothed”.
An alarm is triggered based on the smoothed signals.

Three “smoothing filters” A, B and C are used. They are characterized by the time it takes
to reach response threshold 3 of the corresponding sensitivity setting.
If the smoothed signal reaches response threshold 1 or 2, in the interactive system the
corresponding mode is activated by means of the corresponding danger level. These le-
vels are not evaluated in the collective system.
If the smoothed signal reaches response threshold 3, the alarms in the alarm counter are
added up. Upon reaching the given value, danger level 3, i.e. an alarm is activated.
According to the diagnosis made, other alarm parameters are automatically selected:
Diagnosis “Fire or slowly-developing fire” ⇒ alarm activation after ≤ 6s
(smoothing A + 20 alarm counts)
Diagnosis “Noise or repeated interruption” ⇒ alarm activation after ≤ 16s
(smoothing C + 20 alarm counts)
Diagnosis “Test filter” ⇒ alarm activation after ≤ 10s
(smoothing A + 40 alarm counts)
Smoothing filter B filters out reflections.
Reflecting or shining surfaces, which are too near at the path of the beam, can impair the
detector.

Smoothing B > actual compensation value x 1.5 = reflection

 Application diagnoses
The detector has an automatic diagnosis evaluation facility based on complex fuzzy algo-

 3.8.3 Possible diagnosis results
1. Fire
The detector registered a signal which corresponded to a normal fire with the necessary
extinction and activated an alarm.
If this turns out to be a false alarm, then most probably an aerosol was present in the room
which simulated the development of a genuine fire and caused the necessary extinction.
Possible remedy: – Less sensitive setting
2. Slowly developing fire
The detector registered a signal which corresponded to a slowly developing fire and upon
sufficient extinction activated an alarm.
In the event of a false alarm the diagnosis could point to possible condensation.
Possible remedy: – Install detector heating
– Less sensitive setting
3. Thermal turbulence / electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Thermal turbulence points to powerful air circulation. This is mainly caused by air hea-
ters, baking ovens, furnaces etc.
Thermal turbulence and/or powerful electromagnetic interference generate “noise”
which is filtered out by the algorithms. However, if it exceeds a certain strength and dura-
tion, it can still lead to detector impairment.
Possible remedy: – Remove detectors from such an environment.

4. Repeated interruption
Repeated interruption of the beam is caused by moving objects, such as cranes, ladders,
decorations etc. or also by powerful electromagnetic interference which has an effect on
the detector.
Normally, in time this leads to fault signals being activated, but also results in unwanted
alarms.
Possible remedy: – Such applications must be avoided

5. Test filter
If the test filter is held in the infrared beam, it causes a sudden decrease in signal strength
without however, reaching zero.
This characteristic causes the detector to activate an alarm after approx. 10s.

 4 Planning

4.1 General project engineering principles

The linear smoke detector DLO1191 is due to its detection principle and its large monitor-
ing surface for certain applications an attractive detector.

If local national regulations exist concerning application, have this priority!

4.2 Operating conditions

The distance between DLO1191 and reflector must be between 5m and 100m.
There must be a permanent, clear line of vision between detector and reflector.
The monitoring IR beam may not be interrupted by moving articles, e.g. overhead
cranes, ladders, transportable articles, spiders’ webs etc.
Turbidity of visibility caused by operations-related dust, steam or smoke develop-
ment can impair the system.
The mounting place of the detector must be statically absolutely stable, since the allow-
able deviation of the monitoring beam amounts to max 0,43° (see section 3.2).
Concrete and brick walls mostly fulfill these characteristics.
Pure wood and steel constructions are usually unsuitable, there temperature and hu-
midity variations, wind or snow pressure influence such constructions.
The monitoring beam must have free view at least 30cm on all sides, so that no un-
wanted reflections develop.
Frontal incidence of sunlight, light from halogen lamps, etc. on the DLO1191 should be
avoided if possible (to high temperature).
For the service staff the detector must be at any time well accessible.
Cleaning and adjusting works are badly executable on ladders. Suitable equipment
for this purpose includes fixed catwalks, platforms, ”Skyworker” etc.
The alarm activation of the DLO is based on the light attenuation caused by smoke (ex-
tinction). The accumulation of smoke in a fire is adequately dense usually only in the
”smoke plume”, in order to produce sufficient extinction for alarm activation.
For this reason always mount the DLO1191 in the vicinity of the ceiling (see Fig. 21 for
distances). It must not be too close to or too far from the ceiling.
For very high rooms we recommend to arrange additional DLO1191 on different lev-
els (see section 4.6.3) and/or additionally to install flame detectors.

If careful attention is not given to these points, the linear smoke detector system
cannot function correctly and sometimes later leads to insoluble problems with
unwanted activation of fault and alarm signals.

 4.6 Monitoring areas with joist constructions
Note that the term «joists» also covers such structures as air conditioning ducts which are
mounted up to 0.15m below the ceiling.
In principle linear smoke detectors must be placed in the inter-joist area. Due to economic
reasons this is not possible, layout underneath joist constructions is also permissible ac-
cording to 4.6.1

4.6.1 Layout underneath joist construction

The linear smoke detector can be mounted below the joists, if:
the joist height is less than 2O% of the total height of the room
If the width of the inter-joist area is 50% of the maximum broad of surveillance
or if the inter-joist area is 200m2

 4.6.3 Detection of smouldering fire in high rooms
In order that smouldering fires or smaller fires with weak thermal current can be detected
even in high rooms, a second or a third IR beam must be arranged at the assumed height
of the spread of smoke of a smouldering fire. This application can be useful for rooms
>6m in height.

If a number of reflectors are used they must be arranged close together and in the form of
a square. Distances are approximate, i.e. they depend on detector and reflector toler-
ances and can easily vary by a few metres. The important thing is that sufficient signal
strength is achieved.

 4.8 Panes of glass

4.8.1 Penetration of panes of glass

With the reflector principle, the penetration of panes of glass is subject to certain restric-
tions.
1. Panes of glass must be absolutely smooth, clear and firmly installed.
2. Panes of glass must never be positioned at a right angle to the optical axis, in which
the pane of glass has the effect of a mirror and can reflect the beam back to the re-
ceiver (angle of incidence = angle of reflection).
3. As much as possible penetrate only one pane of glass. Maximum 2 panes of 5mm
glass may be penetrated.
4. Each pane of glass reduces the distance by 20m.
5. The detection is certain, if the signal decreases to <2 when the reflector is covered
(see section 6.3 electronic alignment).

4.8.3 Reflectors mounted on glass walls

If reflectors are mounted on glass walls, there is a danger that the glass and not the reflec-
tor will reflect the beam. This situation may only occur after commissioning if the glass
wall moves slightly. However, it does not occur if the beam strikes a glass wall at an angle
greater or less than 90°.
Recommendation: In such cases hit the beam in a light angle of 5° – 10° to the reflector,
in order that such reflections which cause interference can be avoided.

In order to prevent the mutual interference of two or more DLO1191 detectors where
there is an increasing distance between DLO1191 and reflector, maintain an ever-in-

4.12 Measures for dividing long distances

DLO DLO
DLR

DLO1191s can negatively influence each other if mounted face-to-face. In such an ar-
rangement a sufficiently large plate must be mounted between the reflectors.

4.13 Measures against condensation

If the DLO1191 or the reflector is mounted on cool outside walls, in rooms in which high
humidity and rapid increase in temperature (e.g. sunshine on non-insulated roof) are to
be expected, the detector heating unit DLH1191 must be used to prevent. Condensation
of the front cover cause trouble or false alarms. For this application and for short dis-
tances, use the reflector DLR1191 with built-in heating.

 4.14 Installation locations
When installation locations are rigid and vibration-free even a large temperature fluctua-
tion (e.g. between day and night) has only slight influence on steel girders and therefore
does not greatly alter the structure of a building. However, if the installation location is not
rigid, the closely bundled infrared beam can quickly wander from the receiver and so
cause an alarm or trouble signal. Unstable installation locations include:
the walls of rooms constructed of steel which expand and contract due to the tempera-
ture coefficient of steel
masonry walls on which a steel roof has been constructed
In such cases the DLO1191 must be mounted on the rigid structural element, meanwhile
the reflector can be mounted on the instable wall.

 6 Commissioning

6.1 Settings
Remove the detector cover
Set the DIP switches
The DLO1191 can be operated either on an interactive DS11 line or a collective line. The
choice between collective and interactive line is made with DIP switch [S4].
The detector has 3 sensitivity settings («Reduced», «Standard», «Increased»). The re-
sponse threshold is set with DIP switch [S1], [S2].
The transmitter intensity (strong, weak) can be set with DIP switch [S3].
The DIP switch [S3] which governs the transmitter intensity is set to «strong» by default. If
the signal amplitude is too high (display on the adjustment unit: Range = 13, signal > 50),
the transmitter can be set to «weak». If the measurement section is ≤10m, a supplemen-
tary filter must be installed.

 6.2 Mechanical adjustment
Install the alignment device on the detector.
The mirror with backsight and the foresight must be firmly mounted to be free from play!
Unfasten the locking screw.
Align the detector lens to the reflector.
The detector lens can be adjusted with the knurled screws.
Rough adjustment via backsight and foresight so that the target (reflector) and the fore-
sight opening are aligned with the reticule. Attaching a pocket torch to the reflector side
or illuminating the reflector with a spotlight simplifies the rough adjustment procedure.
Switch on the detection line.
Connect the adjustment unit to the detector.
Attention: At first use insert a new battery!
Switch the adjustment unit to «ON» and «AUTO-RANGE». The correct range will be
measured automatically.
When the mechanical adjustment is correct, a signal > 2 should be available on the ad-
justment unit. This signal changes strongly when the knurled screw is turned.
Remove the aiming device.

 6.3 Electronic alignment
Switch to «AUTO-RANGE».
With the knurled screws fine-adjust the detector lens to the maximum signal (adjust-
ment set display switched to «RANGE»).
The knurled screws should be turned slowly in order to avoid large signal jumps.
When the maximum value is obtained (must be between min. 4 and max. 13), switch to
«FIX-RANGE» and adjust to the maximum value «SIGNAL». Caution! If the signal val-
ue is >60, switch back to «AUTO-RANGE» in order to adjust the range, and then re-
adjust to the maximum value «SIGNAL».
The «RANGE» and «SIGNAL» indication on the adjustment device should both be at-
tain a maximum value. If «Range» is 13 and «Signal» ≥60, the transmitter signal
(switch S3) must be set to weak.
Engage the locking screws.
Switch the adjustment set to «FIX-RANGE».

Cover the reflector.

With a dark cover interrupt the IR beam: the signal should decrease to <2. If this is not
the case the detector has not been aligned correctly to the reflector but to reflecting ob-
stacles in the environment of the measurement section. Repeat the adjustment proce-
dure!
Disconnect the adjustment set from the detector.
Reinstall the detector cover.

 6.4 Initialization
To initialize the detector, a reed relay located near the internal response indicator (A) is
activated with a magnet. The initialization is signalled with a flashing response indi-
cator.

Reed relay rear of the

response indicator

Magnet

Fig. 36 Initialization with the magnet

During the initialization the working range of the electronics («RANGE»), the compensa-
tion value, all smoothing algorithms and diagnostics, and the status are set to an initial
value. All required thresholds are calculated. At the same time a self-test is performed.
Initialization with the magnet.
Place the magnet directly behind the response indicator (AI) in order to activate the
Reed relay (Attention! Black point = magnet).
As soon as the response indicator flashes, the compensation value is formed
(approx. 30 sec.). During this time the measurement should not be interfered
with: No manipulations on the detector and no interruption of the IR beam.
When the initialization is completed, the AI turns off. If any procedural error has been
made, a new initialization can be started at any time with the magnet.
Test alarm with test filter.
Place the test filter immediately in front of the detector and cover the entire measure-
ment window. When an alarm is triggered, the response indicator flashes after approx.
5 seconds (interactive), or after approx. 10 seconds (collective).
The commissioning is now completed.

6.5 Addressing in the interactive system

The addressing is the same as in stationary equipment. The addresses of the individual
detectors are assigned in the sequence in which each detector is set into alarm condi-
tion. But first the control unit must be switched to «Address distribution mode».
A test alarm can also be combined with the addressing.

 7 Faults / overhaul

7.1 Fault
If the detector is removed a fault is triggered (detection line interruption). Close the detec-
tor monitoring contact in the base of the interactive system.
Too powerful a signal: «RANGE» 13, Signal ≥60: Set switch S3 to weak.
Too weak a signal: «RANGE» 4, Signal ≤50: Set switch S3 to strong or enlarge the
reflector dimension.

7.1.1 Interruption to beam

An interruption to the beam can be evaluated as an alarm or a fault depending on the S6
Dip-switch setting.
If it is evaluated as a fault, this function can be correctly tested by covering the reflector
with non-reflective material. When covering the reflector, depending on the material
used, reflections of up to approx. 10m can still cause an alarm by the material reflecting a
weakened signal to the receiver.
Interruptions of the beam by moving objects are to be avoided. These can lead to inadver-
tent alarms or disturbances.

7.2 Reflection
If a specular surface comes too close to the measurement section or near the detector, a
reflection can occur. Reflections can lead to an amplified signal.
This can cause unwanted faults with both systems (interactive, collective).

7.3 Checklist for trouble-shooting

Is the building structure stable?
Is the detector solidly mounted and are all screws tightened?
Is the correct type of reflector installed?
Are the Dip switches S1 – S6 set correctly?
Is the correct voltage connected to the detector
Are the range and signal really adjusted to the absolute maximum?
Does the signal fall to 0 if the reflector is covered?
Was the detector initialized after adjustment with cover mounted?
Is the beam sometimes interrupted by obstacles (crane, decorations, spiders’ webs
etc.)
Is the beam sometimes subject to mist, steam or dust?
Is there danger of condensation?
Does the sun or another powerful light source impinge on the detector direct?
Do radiators have an influence on the beam (thermal turbulence)?

 7.4 Functional check / overhaul
The detector self-test subjects the DLO1191 automatically to an extensive electronic
functional check. Nevertheless it is necessary to physically check the functions on site in
regular intervals by triggering the detector with a suitable test filter (usually once per
year). Detectors that do not respond or which are mechanically damaged must be re-
placed.
If an information or fault signal is transmitted during operation, the status bits in the
EEPROM of the detector can be read out with the service computer. A preliminary diag-
nosis on the cause can be established based on this information.
All detector hoods and reflectors should be cleaned regularly with a soft piece of cloth
which is either dry or soaked with Plexiklar, or a mild soap solution, depending on the en-
vironmental conditions and severity of contamination at the installation site. Do not use
any solvents or steam jets.
