FC460PH Multi Sensor Detector
The High Performance Optical Mode (HPO)
The HPO mode is designed to allow the panel to enter an alarm state more readily than it would
from a standard optical detector. For instance if there is less smoke than normal being produced
when a fire is burning, or if there is a sudden, intense fire caused by ignition of a mixture of
air and a dispersed flammable substance; the HPO mode will use an algorithm to effectively
increase the sensitivity of the smoke sensing element as the temperature rises dramatically.
Basic High Performance Optical Mode
This mode is a smoke detection mode only, it does not allow the panel to alarm on detecting heat
at all, it purely uses the heat level sensed to adjust the sensitivity to smoke in its environment.
High Performance Optical Mode with Fixed Heat
This mode provides a safety backstop; if the ambient temperature reaches or exceeds 60°C the
panel will alarm due to heat as well as smoke regardless of smoke levels.
The choice of modes makes the FC460PH a versatile device which can suit many applications
and can also be the best option when it proves difficult to determine what type of device would
best suit a situation.
For example in a difficult to access area such as a lift shaft or high ceilings or locked rooms,
controlled areas, HMO type apartments where accessing and changing the physical device could
be problematic.
The modes of this device (and indeed the majority of the other FireClass loop devices) are
fully controlled from the panel hence there is no need to revisit the physical device to change it or
its settings. As with all FireClass loop devices they are software addressed thus reducing problems
otherwise associated with hardware addressing methods/wear and tear.
Finally, the device can even be split (by means of configuration software) into 2 device address points
to allow the panel to treat the device as though it were 2 individual devices should the need arise.
Multi Account Engine
FireClass Console Multi Account Engine (FC MAE) is the newest FireClass software that allows
users to monitor multiple FireClass systems spread across the world.
It can:
· Manage up to 32 FC500 series panels (FC501, FC510, FC520) connected via Ethernet
through the FC500IP3 module.
· Show real time status of the panels.
· Alert the operator once an event occurs in one of the monitored systems.
