    摘要: Two ionization chambers are formed on the sensor, one including a pair of electrodes and ionizing substance, which are relatively so located that, in the space between the electrodes, the air will be ionized with both positive and negative ions so that the current flowing between the electrodes will be generated by ions of both polarities to form a bipolar ionization chamber; the other has the electrodes and the ionizing substance so located that at least in a portion, preferably a major portion of the space between the electrodes, ions of only a single polarity will occur. The bipolar chamber is shielded from air flow therethrough, the unipolar chamber, however, being exposed to free air flow. Preferably, a third or reference chamber may be combined with the sensor. The unipolar and bipolar chambers are connected to an evaluation circuit which responds when the current between the electrodes in at least one of the unipolar or bipolar chambers drops below a certain threshold value.

    摘要: In a scattered-light smoke detector, for preventing false alarms due to extraneous matter in a measurement chamber (1), a radiation source (2) and two radiation detectors (7, 8) are included. An evaluation circuit is provided for comparing the two detector signals, and an alarm signal is triggered if at least one of the detector signals exceeds a predetermined threshold, and if the two detector signals are at least approximately equal. In another embodiment, a scattered-light smoke detector includes two radiation sources (2, 22), a radiation detector (7), and circuitry for alternatively activating one (2) or the other (22) radiation source. For comparison, corresponding detector signals are stored in sample-and-hold circuits, and an alarm signal can be triggered depending on the same tests. Furthermore, in both cases, a trouble signal can be produced if the two signals are significantly different.

    摘要: A fire alarm installation possessing increased intelligence which enables differentiating between smoldering fires and fires having open or licking flames. This capability is obtained in that the fire alarm installation possesses two sensor elements working according to different functional principles and an evaluation circuit contains circuit elements which form the quotient of the signals received from both sensor elements. The different sensor elements can be united in a single fire alarm housing which simultaneously contains the evaluation circuit.

    摘要: In a fire alarm system individual fire alarms are connected in series by reporting lines with a central signal station. In order to be able to connect a greater number of fire alarms with the individual reporting or signaling lines and/or in order to be able to dispatch an increased amount of current through the reporting lines, the reporting or signaling lines from the last fire alarm of a line are returned back to the central signal station in the form of a ring circuit or loop. Upon the absence of signals at a reporting line an interrogation device is reversed, so that there can be ensured that in the event of a line disturbance or breakdown of a fire alarm the remainder of the fire alarms still can be utilized for giving a signal. The individual fire alarms are structured such that during assembly the inputs and outputs can be mutually interchanged.

    摘要: An ionization chamber with two electrodes having a variable spacing and with a radioactive source for the ionization of the electrode gap therebetween includes an adjusting mechanism for the positional adjustment of one of the electrodes relative to the other. The mechanism is such that a spring element presses the adjustable electrode against at least one point of the adjusting mechanism.Several arrangements are disclosed for adjustably mounting a cup-shaped electrode in the housing of the chamber in such a manner that it is readily adjustable and will not undergo spurious readjustment as a result of vibration of shock.

    摘要: An ionization chamber is exposed to the atmosphere to be supervised, the ionization chamber being so constructed that the electrical resistance thereof changes in the presence of fire particles or aerosols upon occurrence of a fire; to improve reliability of detection, the ionization chamber is connected as a resistance element in a free-running multivibrator oscillator circuit, which includes a pair of cross-coupled field effect transistors (FET's) so that, upon change of the atmosphere to which the ionization chamber is exposed, the pulse frequency of the oscillator changes, which change is detected by a pulse rate detector. If the detector has upper and lower threshold levels, deviation of pulse rate in one direction may be used to sense presence of a fire, and in the other direction may be used to sense incipient trouble in the circuit itself.
