2007 NFPA 72, 3.3.43.21 Spot Type Detector. A device in which the detecting
Element is concentrated at a particular location. Typical examples are
Bimetallic detectors, fusible alloy detectors, certain pneumatic rate-of-rise
Detectors, certain smoke detectors, and thermoelectric detectors.
A Light Source
B Photo Sensor
When smoke enters the ionization chamber, it disrupts this current -- the smoke particles
attach to the ions and neutralize them. The smoke detector senses the drop in current between
the plates and sets off the horn.

Smoke Detector
2007 NFPA 72, 3.3.43.4 Combination Detector. A device that either responds to more than
one of the fire phenomena or employs more than one operating principle to sense one of these
phenomena. Typical examples are a combination of a heat detector with a smoke detector or a
combination of rate-of-rise and fixed temperature heat detector. This device has listings for each
sensing method employed.
2007 NFPA 72, 3.3.43.10 Line-Type Detector. A device in which detection is continuous
along a path. Typical examples are rate-of-rise pneumatic tubing detectors, projected
beam smoke detectors, and heat sensitive cable.
2007 NFPA 72, 3.3.43.15 Projected Beam-Type Detector. A type of photoelectric light
obscuration smoke detector wherein the beam spans the protected area.
2007 NFPA 72, 3.3.181.3 Photoelectric Light Obscuration Detection. The principle
of using a light source and a photosensitive sensor onto which the principal portion of
the source emission is focused. When smoke particles enter the light path, some of the
light is scattered and some of the light is absorbed, thereby reducing the light reaching
the receiving sensor. The light reduction signal is processed and used to convey an
alarm condition when it meets preset criteria.

Non-Digital Protocol
Each detector when
polled responds to the
panel with square wave
pulses.
Non-Digital Protocol
The panel reads these
square wave pulses and
determines the values by
measuring the length
(time) of each.
Non-Digital Protocol
Various sources of
interference can cause
these square wave pulses
to round off. This makes
an accurate reading very
difficult.

Even if a source of

rounding off of the digital
pulses the voltage is still
present for the panel to
determine the digital
value.
