AWACS Features Appendix C: AWACS ApplicationsAFP-300/AFP-400 Programming PN 50259:C1 06/19/97 35Self-OptimizingPre-AlarmEach detector [except FDX (Heat)] may be set for Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm (PA=1).In this Self-Optimizing mode, a detector learns its normal environment, as the softwaremeasures the peak analog readings over a long period of time, and setting thePre-Alarm level just above these normal peaks. This allows extremely sensitivePre-Alarm capability with reasonable protection against non-fire signals. Figure 46shows a graphical representation of the Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm level:Figure 46 Self-optimizing Pre-Alarm LevelFor more information on setting Pre-Alarm levels, refer to the following sections:• "Detector Sensitivity" on page 22.• "Selecting Detector Sensitivity" on page 22.Sensitivity Levels The control panel provides nine Sensitivity Levels for alarm detection—down toapproximately 0.03% per foot obscuration (for laser detectors used in a very cleanenvironment only). You can set the Sensitivity Levels as fixed or programmed for Day/Night operation. For details, refer to "Time Control" on page 31.Note: For a list of all detectorsensitivity levels, see Table 38on page 39.• Detector Sensitivity Levels Set the sensitivity of a detector from 1-9 (1=highestsensitivity; 9=lowest sensitivity).• Pre-Alarm Sensitivity Levels Nine levels from 1 to 9 (0=no Pre-Alarm,1=self-optimizing, 2=highest sensitivity, 9=lowest sensitivity). You can setPre-Alarm operation to latching or self-restoring and to activate Special ControlFunctions.Note: PA:0 = no Pre-Alarm Figure 47 shows a sample sensitivity window for a laser detector:Figure 47 Sensitivity Levels for a Laser Detectorwww.PDF-Zoo.com
