The IR LED emits a burst of
collimated light every
second. In clear air the
photo-diode receives no
light directly from the IR
LED, because of the angular
arrangement and the
chamber baffles. When
smoke enters the chamber it
scatters light from the
emitter IR LED onto the
photo-diode in an amount
related to the smoke
characteristics and density.
The photo-diode signal is
processed to provide an
analogue value for
transmission when the
detector is interrogated.
DISCOVERY OPTICAL SMOKE DETECTOR
Discovery Optical Smoke Detector ▲ Part Number 58000-600
OPERATING
PRINCIPLES
The Discovery optical
detector uses the same outer
case as the ionisation smoke
detector and is distinguished
by the indicator LEDs which
are clear when the detector
is in quiescent state and red
in alarm. Within the case is
a printed circuit board
which, on one side, has the
light-proof chamber with

An infra-red light emitting
diode within its collimator
is arranged at an obtuse
angle to the photo-diode.
The photo-diode has an
integral daylight-blocking
filter (Fig.3).
