GENERAL
The XLS-PS Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector gathers
analog information from its smoke sensing element and
converts it into digital signals. An on-board microprocessor
measures and analyzes these signals. It compares the
information to historical readings and time patterns to make an
alarm decision. Digital filters remove signal patterns that are
not typical of fires, thus eliminating most unwanted alarms.
Detection sensitivity varies upward and downward to remain
constant relative to the changing sensitivity baseline (percent
obscuration). This technique is called differential sensing. It
enables the detector to be nearly independent of its installed
environment and physical conditions. About every 10
minutes, the detector adjusts and updates the sensitivity
baseline for its sensing element to compensate for
environmental changes caused by dirt, humidity, aging, and
small amounts of normal ambient smoke. About once an
hour, the microprocessor writes this information to its
permanent memory so the detectors learned baseline is not
lost, even when the detector is removed for cleaning.

Continuously running self-diagnostics update device statistics

and store them in a history log in non-volatile memory. The
history log contains information such as detector type, serial
number, and address; manufacture date; hours of operation;
analog signal patterns just before the last alarm; and time and
date of last alarm.
The electronically coded serial number and address enable
controllers on the same circuit to automatically map the location
of the detector and use that information in as-built drawings.
The detector can issue pre-alarm warnings to alert local staff
to potential fire conditions before entering into a full alarm
condition. The pre-alarm value is 75 percent of the alarm
value setting.
The detector can be set up to automatically change sensitivities
during unoccupied periods of expected lower ambient
background conditions. Day/night periods are an example.

DESCRIPTION
APPLICATION
The XLS-PS Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector

contains its own microprocessor to provide on-site analysis of
environmental conditions for immediate alarm detection and
response. It runs continuous self-checks to track its own
operation and maintain a history of environmental conditions.
The microprocessor stores the results of the self-check in a
history log in the sensors permanent, non-volatile memory.
Some or all of this information can be printed for review from
the control panel on the XLS1000 Loop Controller, a Personal
Computer (PC) laptop interface, or the SSST Signature
Series Service Tool. History log information includes:
Although photoelectric detectors have a wide range of fire

sensing capabilities, they are best suited for detecting slow,
smoldering fires (wood pyrolysis and smoldering cotton). They
are also very suitable for poly urethane foam and n-Heptane
fires. They are not suitable for open wood and liquid fires
without smoke.
TYPICAL WIRING
The detector mounting bases accept 18 AWG (0.75 sq. mm.),
16 AWG (1.0 sq. mm.), and 14 AWG (1.5 sq. mm.) wire sizes.
detector type, serial number, and address

date of manufacture, hours of operation, and last
maintenance date
current detector sensitivity values and the extent of
environmental compensation
original detector sensitivity values
number of recorded alarms and troubles
time and date of last alarm
analog signal patterns just before the last alarm
up to 32 possible trouble codes that the detector can use
to specify faults
NOTE: Sizes 16 AWG (1.0 sq. mm.) and 18 AWG

(0.75 sq. mm.) are preferred for ease of installation.
REMOTE LED
(SIGA-LED)
On-board intelligence permits the detector to operate in

stand-alone mode. If controller communication fails for more
than 4 seconds and remains powered, all devices on that
circuit go into stand-alone mode. The circuit acts like a
conventional alarm receiving circuit. Each detector on the
circuit continues to collect and analyze information from its
surroundings. The detector alarms if the preset smoke
obscuration level is reached. If the detector is mounted to a
relay base, the relay operates.

On-board intelligence also means less information needs to

be sent between the detector and the loop controller. Other
than regular supervisory polling response, the detector only
needs to communicate with the loop controller when it has a
new condition to report. This feature provides very fast
response time and allows use of a lower baud rate for
communication on the loop. The lower baud rate offers
several advantages including:

CAUTION
Mounting:
Signature Series detectors mount to bases (see next item,
Mounting Bases). For North American 1-gang boxes;
3-1/2 in. or 4 in. octagon boxes; and European BESA and
1-gang boxes with 60.3 mm fixing centers, you can use
the SIGA-SB Mounting Base. For 4 in. square electrical
boxes (purchased locally) 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) deep, SIGAIS Trim Skirt is used with SIGASB4 Mounting Base.
This detector does not operate without electrical power.

As fires frequently cause power interruption, discuss
further safeguards with your fire protection specialist.
This detector does NOT sense fires that start in areas
where smoke cannot reach the detector. Smoke from
fires in walls, roofs, or on the opposite side of closed
doors may not reach the detector to alarm it.
Mounting Bases:
SIGA-SB, SIGA-SB4 Standard Base
SPECIFICATIONS
SIGA-RB, SIGA-RB4 Relay Base. This base includes a relay.

Normally open or closed operation is selected during
installation. The dry contact is rated for 1 A at 30Vdc
(pilot duty). The relays contact positions are supervised
to issue a trouble message if the detector is accidentally
jarred and the contacts switch position. The relay base
does not support the SIGA-LED Remote LED.
