Optical Sensitivity Range

The distance at which the detector will respond to a flame is a function of the intensity of that flame. The maximum distance is 310 ft (95 m) for an n-heptane fire with a surface area of 1 ft2 (0.092 m2). The following table shows the specified ranges for a given sensitivity setting.

Sensitivity Setting Specified Range
High 310 ft (95 m)
Medium 140 ft (43 m)
Low 70 ft (21 m)
