OVERVIEW

General Description

The Simplex Model 2098-9650 Projected Beam Smoke Detector consists of a transmitter and a receiver mounted
apart from one another. The transmitter continually emits pulsed beams in the near infrared wavelength; the
receiver continually monitors these beams for quantity (brightness).

Should smoke obscure the near infrared beams seen by the receiver, circuitry within the receiver will react to the
reduced beam quantity by initiating an alarm.

Since the receiver continually monitors the linear space between itself and the transmitter for smoke, the 2098-
9650 is capable of detecting the presence of a smoke-generating fire - even when the air around both the
transmitter and the receiver remains smoke-free.

The receiver can be adjusted so that 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70% of the near infrared beam must be obscured
before the 2098-9650 initiates an alarm. This allows a 2098-9650 to monitor as little as 32 linear feet or as much
as 328 linear feet for smoke.

Operating Principle

Pulsed beams in the near infrared wavelength leave the detector’s transmitter and enter the photo-diode of the
detector’s receiver. The resultant (analog) signals are then amplified, converted to digital information, and entered
into a microprocessor.

Upon entering the microprocessor, the value of the just-entered information and a reference value (the detector’s
“initial beam data”) are compared against each other. If the value of the just-entered signal is less than 10% of
the reference value, the detector issues a trouble signal; if the value of the just-entered signal is more than 10%
of the reference value but less than the obscuration value (85, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40 or 30% of the reference value),
the detector initiates an alarm; and if the value of the just-entered signal is more than the value of the detector’s
obscuration adjustment value, the detector operates normally (issues no signals).

The microprocessor automatically compensates for up to 1% of optical degradation per hour. However, should the
detector’s lenses become excessively dirty, a preset “compensation threshold” will be exceeded and a trouble
signal will result.

MAJOR FUNCTIONS

Fire Signal Output and Indication

Within one minute after smoke obscures the near infrared beam by more than the detector’s preset sensitivity level
(85, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40 or 30% of the reference level), the 2098-9650 initiates an alarm signal and, at the same
time, illuminates the red FIRE LED on its receiver.

Trouble Signal Output and Indication

a. If the quantity-of-beams setting at the initial time of operation is improper or if the quantity-of-beams
compensating capacity exceeds its limit, the 2098-9650 issues a trouble signal immediately and, at the same
time, illuminates the amber TROUBLE LED on its receiver.

b. If the quantity of beams suddenly decreases by 90% or more, the 2098-9650 issues a trouble signal within 30
seconds and, at the same time, illuminates the amber TROUBLE LED on its receiver. ..

Monitor Condition Indication

Both the transmitter and the receiver indicate they are powered up and operating normally when their MONITOR
(green) LEDs pulse.

Signal Output

A Form A contact transfers (closes) when the detector goes into alarm; a Form B contact transfers (opens) when
the detector goes into trouble. In addition, two dry Form A contacts are provided for remote annunciation: one
closes when the detector goes into alarm, the other closes when the detector goes into trouble, and both close
when the detector is tested via the remote LED/test switch described below.

Remote Operation

An optional 2098-9803 Remote LED/Test Switch, mounted apart from the 2098-9650, allows the detector to be
tested from a remote location.

l See Wiring Connections (pages 8 and 9).

Sensitivity Setting

The 2098-9650 can be adjusted to initiate an alarm when smoke obscures 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70% of the
near infrared beam normally seen by the receiver.

Adjustment of Optical Axis and Quantity of Photo-signals

A monitor plug (provided) allows the installer to use a microammeter to “fine adjust” the detector.

Automatic Compensation for Quantity of Photo-signals

The detector automatically compensates for a change in photo-signal quantity of up to 1% per hour. The
compensation range extends from +20% to -50% of the initial beam data. Should the compensating range
exceed either of the above limits, the detector issues a trouble signal.

4. Coarse adjust the receiver as described in steps 1 through 3. ASSOCIATED EMITTER OR RECEIVER

Fine Adjustment (Adjustment Using the Monitor Output)

Note: See illustration on next page.

1. Open the monitor cover (found on the back of the receiver).

l The cover’s left-hand screw must be removed; the cover’s right-hand screw need only be loosened (it cannot
be removed).

2. Check to see that the red LED inside the SET switch is pulsing.

3. Set the SENSITIVITY SELECT switch to OFF.

4. Insert the monitor plug (provided) into the monitor jack, and connect it to a DC microammeter.

l The ammeter must have an internal resistance of 1 K to 1OK ohms per volt, and must be set for its 50 uA range.

5. Using the COARSE ADJUSTMENT and FINE ADJUSTMENT output control knobs, adjust the monitor to obtain
a reading of about 15 uA (this reading is notcritical).

l Output control adjustments:

Clockwise ~:Higher output


Counterclockwise : Lower output

l Turn the output control knobs slowly. A quick turn can cause idling.

l Never turn an output control knobs more than 3/4th turn.

Has quantity-of-beams (monitor output) changed? Remove the cause
Is MONITOR (green) LED of transmitter pulsing? Check transmitter power lines for open
or short circuit
Is optional test switch in TEST position? Return switch to NORMAL position
5. Detector stays in Perform the same checks as for a detector that
trouble stays in alarm (see 4 above)
Is material blocking the optical axis? (E.g., a Remove the blocking material
crane or some other moveable object)
Is quantity-of-beams properly adjusted? Check monitor output (17 to 22 uA).

Are transmitter and receiver lens covers dirty? Clean covers and press SET switch
6. No trouble signal Is detector properly connected to power supply? Connect 24VDC + & - from P.S. to rcvr’s
red & white leads respectively

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to disassemble the detector.

If the appropriate troubleshooting procedures fail to rectify the problem, contact your local Simplex
branch office for assistance.

APPENDIX: SENSITIVITY SELECTION

Sensitivity Selection and Test .Filter

Using the chart below as a reference, determine the detector’s proper sensitivity setting as follows:

A. If the ceiling is less than 16 feet high, the detector’s optimum sensitivity setting should be midway between
; the U, and lJ2 lines with reference to the distance separating the detector’s receiver from its transmitter.

Example: Ceiling height = 14 ft. (4.27 m)


Distance separating receiver from transmitter = 147 ft. (43.22 m)
Midpoint between lines U,, and U2 at 147 ft. = 52%
Optimum setting = 50%
Use test filter #5 for operational test (see note below)
Use test filter #4 for non-operational test

B. If the ceiling is more than 16 feet high, the detector’s optimum sensitivity setting should be midway between
the U2 and S lines with reference to the distance separating the detector’s receiver from its transmitter.
I
Example: Ceiling height = 45 ft. (13.72 m)
Distance separating receiver from transmitter = 147 ft. (43.22 m)
Midpoint between lines U2 and S at 147 ft. = 38%
Optimum setting = 40%
Use test filter #5 for operational test (see note below)
\
Use test filter #3 for non-operational test

Note: The Simplex Beam Detector Test Filter Kit (553-509) includes a chart that tells you the filters to use for
operational and non-operational tests, as well as instructions for assembling and using the test filters.
