Filtering algorithm
In order to secure a fast detection of real fire alarms and to reduce
nuisance (false) alarms to a minimum, a filtering algorithm is used.
The filtering algorithm uses the sensor values to calculate a decision
value depending on which alarm algorithm that is in use.
decision value is zero from the beginning. Each time a new sensor
value is picked up (sampled) from an analog smoke detector 430x, this
new sensor value is compared with the actual decision value and the
decision value will be adjusted or not adjusted as follows:
If the difference, between the new sensor value and the actual decision
value is < "X", the decision value is set equal to the new sensor value.
If the difference is > "X", the decision value is increased or reduced
by "X".
"X" = The Step Value. It is different depending on the sensitivity and
detection time, i.e. it is depending on the selected alarm algorithm, see
Figure 18.
The decision value will consequently not be increased / decreased
with a value exceeding the "X" value even if the sensor values are
much higher / lower.
