Definitions
- the present invention relates to smoke detectors and in particular, relates to a method of calibrating a smoke detector.
- the invention also relates to a smoke detecting system where the alarm panel communicates with a series of calibrated smoke detectors.
- Many smoke detectors include an LED light source which produces a light beam within a smoke detecting chamber and a photo diode is positioned to receive light which is scattered by smoke particles in the smoke chamber.
- the walls of the smoke chamber have a series of passages for allowing smoke particles to flow into or out of the chamber.
- the walls of the chamber are also designed to reduce the amount of light reflected by the walls which returns to the chamber.
- a processing circuit is associated with the photo detector to measure the amount of light received.
- the various components of the smoke detector all collectively contribute to the sensitivity of the detector and the detector at the time of manufacture requires calibration.
- One of the main factors which lead to vary significant tolerance variations is the output of the LED light source.
- the output of the LED is adjusted to vary the sensitivity of the smoke detector.
- the calibration of smoke detectors to date has involved the adjustment of the output of the LED to achieve a particular alarm threshold measured by the photo detector for a known level of obscuration. Unfortunately, due to
- the calibration method of the present invention reduces the problems associated with tolerance variation impact on calibration.
- a method of calibrating a smoke detector according to the present invention is used for smoke detectors having a variable output LED light source, a smoke evaluation chamber, a light receiver, and a circuit for measuring the output of the light receiver.
- the method comprises providing the smoke evaluation chamber with a first known obscuration atmosphere and determining a first measured output of the light receiver.
- a second known obscuration atmosphere is then provided to the smoke evaluation chamber and a second measured output value of the light receiver is determined.
- the output of the LED light source is then adjusted based on the first and second measured output values to produce a predetermined sensitivity of the detector calculated by the ration of the change in measured output versus the change in obscuration. Once the predetermined sensitivity has been achieved, an offset value is determined for the particular detector.
- This offset value is used in combination with the predetermined sensitivity to predict the response of the detector for different levels of obscuration.
- the offset value is then used to set at least one alarm value.
- the method includes selecting the first and second obscuration atmospheres to cover a wide operating range of the detector.
- the first and second obscuration atmosphere corresponds to an atmosphere greater than 2 percent per foot obscuration and an atmosphere less than .5 percent per foot obscuration.
- the offset value is the measured output value of the light receiver corresponding to a clean air.
- the first and second obscuration atmospheres correspond to an atmosphere greater than 1.5 percent per foot obscuration and an atmosphere less than .8 percent per foot obscuration.
- the circuit for measuring the output of the light receiver produces a digital value corresponding to the measured value of the atmosphere in the smoke evaluation chamber.
- the method includes adding a predetermined value to the offset value to set the alarm value for the particular smoke detector.
- the method includes setting at lease three alarm values where each alarm value, including an associated predetermined value, and each alarm value is set by adding the respective ⁇ ' re ⁇ eti'e-yminel ⁇ vMil'ilfe ⁇ -to the offset value of the detector to determine the alarm values .
- a smoke detecting system comprises a control panel in two way communication with a series of smoke detectors where each smoke detector has a variable output LED light source, a smoke evaluation chamber, a light receiver and a circuit for measuring the output of the light receiver and further includes a stored offset value for determining alarm values and a predetermined sensitivity.
- the predetermined sensitivity is approximately equal for all of the smoke detectors.
- the stored offset value of each smoke detector is dependent upon the individual characteristic of each smoke detector and varies from one smoke detector to another.
- the alarm value for each detector is calculated by adding a fixed value associated with the alarm value to the stored offset value.
- the system includes the control panel providing the smoke detectors with the fixed value whereby the control panel effectively sets the alarm values for each detector.
- the alarm panel provides a first fixed value to a first group of detectors and a second fixed value to a second group of detectors such that said first group of detectors have an alarm value different from the alarm value of the second group of detectors.
- Figure 1 is a cut away through a smoke detector showing the general structure thereof;
- Figure 2 is a graph of sensor output in volts versus smoke density of non adjusted smoke detectors shbwiMg 1 "'the and negative tolerance variations;
- Figure 3 is a graph of the sensor output versus smoke density for an adjusted smoke detector showing the extent of the plus and minus tolerance variation
- Figure 4 shows an adjusted smoke detector graph and the response of the detector after sensitivity draft
- Figure 5 shows a further feature of the invention where the smoke detector, after calibration, and in normal use, provides a compensation factor which varies according to the alarm level for a particular obscuration point.
- the smoke detector 2 shown in Figure 1 includes an outer housing 4 which encloses the working components of the smoke detector.
- the smoke detector includes a circuit board 6, an LED light source 8, a photo detector
- the smoke chamber has a number of angled walls to allow smoke to enter the smoke chamber and to keep light out of the smoke chamber.
- An insect screen 16 is provided on the exterior of the smoke chamber to keep insects and large particles out of the smoke chamber.
- the photo detector 10 is on the lower surface of the circuit board and is located to one side of the illumination beam and looks across the beam. The approximate line of sight of the photo detector is shown by the region 24. The crossover of the two beams defines a highly reactive zone 26. ⁇ This"""i's" the"'"desired measuring zone where smoke particles, if present, will cause light to be reflected and some of this reflected light will strike the photo detector 10. Any light which strikes the smoke chamber walls is mostly dissipated or reflected in a manner not to contribute to the light received by the photo detector.
- a smoke detector at the time of manufacture is calibrated to provide consistent response.
- the photo detector produces an electrical signal which preferably is converted to a digital signal.
- This digital signal is a measure of the amount of light received by the photo detector and is representative of smoke particles present in the atmosphere of the smoke chamber.
- the light output of the LED has a large tolerance variation and the tiblerance variation can be as much at 67 percent.
- the tolerance variation is less, however, given that there is a tolerance variation associated with the LED, and further tolerances associated with the photo detector, the circuit for converting the signal of the photo detector, as well as the smoke chamber itself, it is necessary to calibrate the unit.
- Calibration is accomplished based on actual responses of the unit.
- an atmosphere which represents a certain known percentage of obscuration is provided to the smoke chamber.
- the response or the output from the circuit which is a measure of the signal provided by the photo detector is then recorded.
- a second atmosphere is then introduced to the smoke chamber to provide a second assessment point.
- these atmospheres correspond to a relatively high smoke ebfetetlt ⁇ safien 11 ;-' £'O ⁇ ""example, 2.5 percent obscuration per foot, and a relatively low atmosphere, either a clean atmosphere or a level of less than .5 percent per foot of obscuration.
- Figure 2 shows a graph of sensor output in volts versus smoke density measured as a percentage obscuration per foot.
- the middle line 40 shows a desired sensitivity measured by the slope of line 40 which is to be achieved.
- the upper line 42 represents the upper variation that is likely, if all the tolerances are in one direction, and line 44 shows the effect for the opposite tolerance variation.
- the actual sensitivity of the unit prior to calibration could be represented by a line somewhere between lines 44 and 42.
- the method of calibration after determining two points such as point 46 and point 48 associated with line 44 allows calculation of tihe slope of line 44 and the need to increase the light intensity.
- the light intensity can be increased or decreased, based on prior experience to attempt to achieve the slope of line 40.
- the corrected line 44 is basically adjusted to achieve the same slope as line 40, however, the ⁇ 'y" intercept of the graph will typically be different than the 1 ⁇ y" intercept of line 40.
- the smoke detector over the range of .5 to 2.5 percent per foot obscuration will respond in a similar manner and has the same sensitivity.
- the smoke detectors will have different offset values corresponding to the respective l ⁇ y" intercepts.
- Figure 3 shows the alarm points which correspond to 1 percent, 1.5 percent, 2.5 percent, 3 percent and 3.5 percent obscuration. Unless instructed otherwise, the smoke detector typically has a default alarm level corresponding to 2.5 percent.
- Figure 3 shows the desired line 40 and adjusted sensitivity lines 42a and 44a. All of these lines have the same slope, and as such, each of the smoke detectors ⁇ has the same sensitivity.
- Line 44a has an offset value of approximately .4, line 40 has an offset value of .5, and line 42a has an offset value of .6. Each of these values is recorded by the respective smoke detector.
- the smoke detector represented by line 40 has its alarm level indicated by 52 which has a value of 1.75.
- the smoke detector has an offset value of .5 and as such, the predetermined amount of 1.25 has been added to the offset value of .5 and thus, results in the alarm 52 of 1.75.
- the smoke detector represented by sensitivity line 44a has an offset value of .4, and as such, would have an alarm point indicated by 54 having a value of 1.65.
- the smoke detector represented by sensitivity line 42a will have an alarm point indicated as 56 with a value of 1.85.
- the predetermined values for 1, 1.5, 2, 3 and 3.5, are also constant and based on the predetermined desired sensitivity indicated by the slope of the lines. The offset value is assessed once the desired slope has been obtained.
- the smoke detectors are calibrated such that they have a generally equal sensitivity. Each smoke detector does record a clean air value which is used for determining the alarm threshold based on adding to this value a predetermined amount based on the percentage obscuration which is to be measured.
- the control panel can merely instruct all the smoke detectors to add to their intercept value, the appropriate value for an alarm condition at 2.5. It would also be possible for the control panel to instruct certain of the smoke detectors co • ⁇ ! ⁇ 's i e i -"ar ⁇ 'al"a£m '' ⁇ e!v4!l of 1.5 and other detectors to operate at an alarm level of 2.5
- the smoke detector merely takes the value provided or the instruction provided by the control panel and performs the appropriate calculation to determine the alarm point.
- This possible condition can be compensated for by using a number of different techniques.
- One technique is to maintain a history of readings of the smoke detector over a long period of time and this assumption assumes that on average, the atmosphere which is presented to the smoke detector should be consistent. If there is a reduction in the output of the photo detector, then this reduction is due to aging of the components and based on the amount of reduction, suitable compensation can be made as will be explained relative to Figure 5.
- Figure 5 shows the normal calibrated response line 100 and top line 101 where a constant value is added to all alarm values. Unfortunately, as shown in Figure 4, a constant or fixed adjustment value does not fully correct for the reduction in slope.
- a straight line approximation for compensation for reduced response over the entire obscuration operating range has not proven entirely satisfactory and it is desirable to provide a series of steps shortly before the alarm points.
- a straight line approximation is used in stages with one stage being for values between alarm point 1 and 1.5 based on a corrected historical value. For example, it may have been determined that the sensitivity was decreased from the original response line 100 to drop " down two """ ⁇ irie " s "" tb "t ⁇ ' e line indicated as 102. Based on this historical assessment, the alarm points can then be corrected depending upon what particular alarm point has been set by the control panel or the smoke detector.
- the correction line 102 which is made up of a series of step segments to change the amount of correction as the senses signal increases.
- the straight line segments of line 102 make the calculation relatively simple for each stage and the series of straight line segments adjusts for the changing slope.
- the amount of correction in this case is the difference between line 100 and line 102. In this case, the alarm level is reduced by this difference which varies in stages as the sensed obscuration increases.
- a fixed corrective amount is known based on historical values and this corrective value is increased in stages as the sensed level of obscuration increases. In this way, the correct compensation is calculated as a function of the assessed normal value and the sensed response level.
- line 102 shows the corrected value although there are various ways to perform this t adjustment in the smoke detector.
