1 Introduction
1.1 Scope
Welcome to the OSID Smoke Detector Product Guide. This document will provide you with general product
information and detailed instructions on how to install, operate and maintain the OSID detector.
It is recommended that this product guide is read prior to installation and it is assumed that anyone using this
guide has an appropriate level of knowledge regarding fire detection systems.

1.2 Product Introduction

The OSID smoke detector provides early warning of fire by measuring the amount of smoke entering invisible
beams of light projected over a protected area.
New smoke detection technologies provide superior immunity to false alarms caused by dust and solid
objects that may interfere with the beams. Innovations in optical imaging and signal processing enable the
Imager unit to locate the Emitter unit(s) without the need for precise alignment, and compensate for natural
building shifts.
Features of the OSID system include:
l Product range to support a variety of ranges and fields of view
l Superior rejection of dust and intruding solid objects
l Simple mounting and installation
l Dual wavelength smoke detection
l Tolerance of coarse alignment
l Large adjustment and wide viewing angles
l Four-wire detector interfaces
l Simple user display for alarm, fault and power status annunciation
l Configurable alarm thresholds

2 Detector Operation
This section provides general information on the operation of the detector, status annunciation, and the basic
composition of the system.

2.1 Basic Principle of Operation

The OSID system detects smoke by measuring the attenuation of two wavelengths of light projected from one
or more locations within an area of protection. Each OSIDsystem consists of one Imager and up to seven
Emitters within the protected area. The Emitters are placed in the field of view of the Imager. Each Emitter
projects a wide-angled beam containing a sequence of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light pulses toward the
Imager. The sequence of pulses is unique for each Emitter, which prevents mutual interference and enables
the Imager to reject any other unwanted light sources.
The colinear UV and IR wavelengths interact differently with small and large particles. The shorter UV
wavelength interacts strongly with both small and large particles, while the longer IR wavelength is
predominantly affected by larger particles.
Smoke particles entering a beam path will interact strongly with the shorter wavelength and cause a loss
mainly in the UV signal. The relative path loss measurement between the UV and IR signal is used to
determine if there is smoke and produce an attenuation value. If the level of attenuation caused by smoke is
higher than the preset threshold in the detector, a Fire Alarm will be reported.
In contrast, dust particles and solid intruding objects that enter the beam path cause an equal signal loss in
both wavelengths and enable the detector to identify these events as non-smoke events. If the blockage
becomes excessive, a Trouble / Fault, and not a false alarm, is reported.
An optical imaging array in the Imager provides the detector with a wide viewing angle and the ability to locate
the Emitter(s) without the need for precise alignment. This ability, combined with the wide-angled beam
projected by the Emitter, provides greater ease in installation and enables the system to compensate for the
drift caused by natural shifts in the building structure.
The system can be configured to suit a range of detection spaces by selecting the type of Imager and number
of Emitter unit(s) used in the system design. Imagers differ by the type of lens that is fitted during
manufacture. Each Imager lens has different focal characteristics that determine the operating range and the
field of view of the system - an Imager that has a longer operating range will have a narrower field of view and
vice versa. The size and geometry of the protected space will determine the Imager type, and number of
Emitters that are required for the system.

2.2 Status Annunciation

The current status of the detector is annunciated from the Imager unit through the following methods:
l Detector Status LEDs
l Initiating Device Circuit (IDC) interface
l Remote Indicator interface

www.xtralis.com 5
OSID Product Guide OSID by Xtralis

2.2.1 Status LEDs

Legend
1 Fire Alarm LED (Red)
2 Bi-color LED
l Trouble (Yellow)
l Normal (Green)

Figure 2-1: Status LEDs located on Imager

Normal Operation and Power Status

The bi-color LED on the Imager will flash green once every 10 seconds when the system is working normally
and is free from Troubles or Alarms.
If the bi-color LED is continuously off, the system is not properly powered and a Trouble (Fault) will be
signaled to the fire panel via the IDC interface.

Fire Alarm

The red LED on the Imager unit indicates an Alarm. The Emitter(s) from which the Alarm originates, can be
determined by the sequence of pulses as described in these steps:
1. The red LED pulses a number of times according to the Emitter number from which the Alarm
originates:
a. 'n' pulses identifies Emitter Beam 'n' as having a Fire Alarm.
b. a double pulse identifies all Emitter Beams in Alarm.
2. If more Alarms are present: 5 seconds OFF.
If no other alarms are present in the system: 10 seconds OFF.
3. Restart from Step 1.
Emitter beams are numbered sequentially from the left-to-right (from the point of view of the Imager), with '1'
as the left most Emitter beam.

Fault / Trouble Identification

The yellow color of the bi-color LED indicates if the unit is in Training Mode or if there are Trouble conditions.
The identification of the Trouble (Fault) condition and its source (Emitter/Imager) can be determined by the
sequence of pulses of the yellow LED. The identification sequence is described as follows:
1. Source identification: Yellow LED pulses according to whether the Trouble originates from the
Emitter or system:
a. 'n' pulses identifies Emitter Beam 'n' as having a Trouble (Fault) condition.
b. a double pulse identifies the system as having a Trouble condition.
2. 2 seconds OFF.
3. Trouble (Fault) Code: Yellow LED signals the fault type according to the pulsing sequences identified
in Table 2-1.
4. If more Faults are present: 5 seconds OFF.
If no other Faults are present in the system: 10 seconds OFF.
5. Restart from Step 1.

Note: Unused DIP switches must be set to '0'.
Two pulses Too many Emitters have been detected. Check the DIP switch
settings, and ensure that Emitters belonging to a different
system are not interfering with the Imager.
Three pulses Too few Emitters have been detected. Check the DIP switch
settings and ensure that all Emitters are contained in the field
of view of the Imager.
Four pulses Imager out of alignment. Check that the field of view of the
Imager is correctly aligned to all Emitters in the system.
Five pulses Internal fault in the Imager. Imager requires replacement.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, a Trouble is signaled to the fire panel for all System or Emitter Faults.

2.2.2 Initiating Device Circuit Interface (IDC)

An interface for connection to an IDC is provided for reporting the following conditions:
l Fire Alarm
l Trouble (Fault)
Dedicated FAULT (Trouble) and FIRE (Alarm) relay interfaces are provided on the Termination Card for
connecting to the IDC.
Separate terminals provide connections for supplying power to the detector.

2.2.3 Remote Indicator

The Termination Card provides a connection for a remote indicator that is activated when a Fire Alarm is
initiated and pulses in the same way as the Imager fire LED to signal the source of the fire.

4 Installing the Detector

The procedures in this chapter describe how to install the OSID detector. The design of the fire protection
system needs to be considered prior to installing the detector and should satisfy chosen protection goals while
complying with local codes and standards.
The key considerations in planning and implementing a successful installation include:
l Selecting appropriate locations for mounting the detector components
l Mounting and aligning the detector components
l Wiring the detection system
l Configuring the Imager components
The OSID Alignment Tool, used for both the Emitter and Imager units, is required. This tool is sold separately,
and is included in the Installation Kit. Please contact your local Xtralis supplier for ordering information.
l OSID Installation Kit - OSID-INST:
After installation, the system should be powered up to initiate system Training Mode. Refer to Section 5.1 for
further information.

4.1 Positioning the Detector Components

When deciding on the placement of the detector components, select positions that:
l Provide a stable and secure surface for mounting the Emitter and Imager
l Include no obstructions between the Emitter and Imager
l Ensure the system is mounted well above the head height of a person
l Avoid direct sunlight into the Imager and Emitter components
l Ensure Emitters for the same Imager are not placed within one meter of each other or lighting
l Consider effects like stratification and other parameters that may affect the performance of the
detector (e.g. room geometry, ceiling height, ceiling shape, fuel sources and location)
l Comply with spacing and location requirements for applicable codes and standards
The detector is able to work under a wide range of room lighting conditions, including complete darkness to
bright sunlight, and can allow for shifts in the building structure.

4.1.1 Spacing Requirements

The location and spacing of components of the detector system should comply with national and regional
installation codes. In any OSID system, the line of protection between the Imager and an Emitter is
recognized by many standards to be equivalent to a traditional beam detector. For areas that require multiple
lines of protection, the Emitters should be located and spaced according to the following recommendations to
provide full coverage of the protected space.
Note: Please refer to your local codes and standards for specific spacing requirements for your region.

www.xtralis.com 15
OSID Product Guide OSID by Xtralis

Figure 4-1: Horizontal spacing requirements - Emitters do not need to be at the same height
Figure 4-1 shows Emitter spacing requirements for rooms with flat ceilings.
Emitters should be positioned within a distance of H below the ceiling. For flat ceilings, this value is generally
between 25 to 600 mm (1 to 23.6 in.). The value of H will vary according to regional specifications, geometry
of the ceiling and specific requirements of the installation for the protected space.
Table 4-1: Mounting Distance from Ceiling for Flat Ceilings

International Standard Distance from Ceiling (H)

NFPA72 -
AS1670.1 25 to 600 mm (1 to 23.6 in.)1
BS5839.1 25 to 600 mm (1 to 23.6 in.)2
GB50166 300 to 1000 mm (11.8 to 39.4 in.)

Notes:
1. AS1670.1: If the system is mounted more than 600 mm (23.6 in.) below the ceiling, the maximum
distance between beams is half the mounting height of the beam above the floor. For example, if the
mounting height is 10 m (32.8 ft), the distance between beams is 5 m (16.4 ft).
2. BS5839.1: If the system is mounted more than 600 mm (23.6 in.) below the ceiling, the maximum
distance between beams is 25% of the mounting height of the beam above the floor. For example, if the
mounting height is 10 m (32.8 ft), the maximum distance between beams is 2.5 m (8.2 ft).

16 www.xtralis.com
OSID by Xtralis OSID Product Guide

Measured horizontally, Emitters can be spaced a maximum distance of S apart, with one half that spacing
from beams and the sidewall. The value of S varies according to local codes and standards, and is
summarized in the following table.
Table 4-2: Maximum Emitter Spacings

International Standard Maximum Spacing (S)

NFPA72 18.3 m (60 ft)1
AS1670.1 14 m (45.9 ft)2
BS5839.1 15 m (49.2 ft)3
GB50166 14 m (45.9 ft)4

Notes:
1. NFPA72: Peaked and sloped ceilings also require line of protection within 3 ft (900 mm) of the peak,
measured horizontally. Subsequent Emitters in both situations should be spaced according to a
smooth ceiling.
2. AS1670.1: This measurement is for Emitters placed 25 to 600 mm (1 to 23.6 in.) below the ceiling. For
Emitters placed more than 600 mm (23.6 in.) below the ceiling, the maximum spacing 'S' is reduced to
half of the distance between the Emitter and floor.
3. BS5839.1: For peaked ceilings, the Emitters need to be placed within 600 mm (23.6 in.) of the apex,
measured vertically.
4. GB50166: This value is valid for installations up to a maximum height of 20 m (65.6 ft). For installations
that have a height of greater than 20 m (65.6 ft), the maximum range is 20 m (65.6 ft).
5. To allow the Imagers to commission multiple Emitters as separate sources, a spatial separation
between Emitters of 3 degrees for the OSI-45, and 5 degrees for the OSI-90, is required.

4.2 Installation Instructions

The Emitter and Imager components of the detector can be secured to a stable surface either directly or with
the supplied mounting brackets. When mounting the Emitter and Imager units, please follow these steps:
1. Prepare the units for mounting. Refer to Section 4.2.1 for further information.
2. Secure the units to the mounting surface either directly, or with mounting brackets.
Always install the Imager first, and locate the Emitters within the Imager field of view.
a. If installing the unit via mounting brackets, follow these steps (see Section 4.2.2):
i. Install the mounting bracket and appropriate fasteners.
ii. Attach the rear assembly of the unit onto the mounting brackets.
b. If installing the unit directly onto the mounting surface, follow these steps (see Section 4.2.3):
i. Remove the Front Cover to access the mounting holes on the rear assembly.
ii. Secure the rear assembly of the unit onto the mounting surface using the mounting holes
as a template and the appropriate fasteners.
3. If required, wire the Termination Card (required for the Imager and externally powered Emitter).
Refer to Section 4.2.4 - Imager Wiring Connections.
Refer to Section 4.2.8 - Emitter Wiring Connections.
4. If required, re-attach the Front Cover after the rear assembly has been secured.
5. Manually align the Emitter to the Imager and vice versa. Refer to Section 4.2.10 - Coarse Alignment.
6. In extreme environments where the detector may suffer severe impacts, the front ball can be further
secured by applying a small amount of cyanoacrylate adhesive (e.g. Super Glue) into the hole (1) on
the outer locking ring of the ball mechanism. The Front Cover needs to be removed, the adhesive
applied and the cover re-attached.

4.2.1 Unit Preparation

Detach the mounting brackets from the main assemblies.
In the case of the Imager, externally-powered Emitter, or if directly mounting the unit to the mounting surface,
also carefully detach the Front Cover by using a flat-blade screwdriver to gently lever the front cover away
from the main assembly.

Figure 4-3: Remove front cover with a flat blade screwdriver

Determine the cable entry points to the termination card and remove the cut-outs (if required) by using a sharp
blade to cut around the circular discs. Take care not to damage the termination card or optical components.
Cable glands can be fitted to enable cable entry through the top of the unit.

4.2.2 Securing via Mounting Brackets (preferred method)

Note: This section only applies for components secured via mounting brackets. Ensure that the Imager is
mounted first, and Emitters are within the field of view of the Imager.

Fixing the Mounting Brackets

Secure the mounting bracket to the mounting surface, using the screw holes as a template and appropriate
fasteners for the surface type. When screwing in the mounting plate, it is recommended that star washers are
used to prevent the mounting brackets slipping.

Figure 4-5: Securing the mounting brackets with screws and star washers
The brackets are provided with one vertical and one horizontal slot to facilitate mounting if the drilled holes are
difficult to position accurately, such as on a rough brick surface. Ensure that the mounting bracket is straight
and sits flush on the surface. If considered necessary by the installer, extra screws can be fitted through the
round holes provided in the mounting plate, to ensure that the plate cannot slip on the mounting surface.

Manual alignment of the system is easily achieved by using the OSID Laser Alignment Tool. The alignment
tool can be ordered from Xtralis. To align the Emitter to the Imager using the laser alignment tool, please follow
these steps:
Warning: The laser alignment tool incorporates a 635-655 nm laser with an average power less than
5 mW. Avoid exposure from the laser radiation emitted by the alignment tool.
Caution: Do not rotate the laser alignment tool beyond 1/4 turn as excessive force may cause internal
damage.

Emitter or 10 Imager Alignment

1. Switch ON and insert the laser alignment tool (1) into

the alignment hole (2).
2. Use the laser tool to move the optical sphere (3) until
the laser beam is pointing towards an area within the
specified limits as shown in Figure 4-19.
3. Rotate the tool 90 clockwise to lock the sphere into
place. A STOP position will be felt when locked. This
will also activate the Emitter.

5 Commissioning and Maintenance

5.1 Starting Up
After installing the detector, it is necessary to initiate Training Mode to allow the system to learn the locations
of the Emitters and specific characteristics of the installation. Follow these steps to initiate Training Mode:
1. Ensure that all Emitters are activated. Battery-powered Emitters are activated automatically by locking
the optical sphere in place, while externally powered Emitters activate after locking-in and powering the
unit as described in Section 4.2.10.
2. Apply power to the Imager to initiate Training Mode.
After powering-up the Imager, the Imager automatically searches for Emitters in its field of view to record their
position and timing. During this time the Trouble LED on the Imager will indicate that the detector is in Training
Mode.
Training Mode takes a maximum of 10 minutes before the detector either enters normal operation or reports a
Trouble (Fault).
Note that after a power failure to the system (lasting 10 seconds or more), the system will re-initiate Training
Mode. During power-up, the Fire relay will be in the non-fire states; and the Fault relay will indicate fault until
commissioning has successfully completed.

5.2 Acceptance Testing

After start up, the sensitivity of the detector should be tested using a calibrated method such as a smoke test,
or inserting a special optical filter into the beam path of each Emitter. This filter can be ordered from Xtralis. To
ensure that only one Emitter is tested at a time, the filter should be placed directly in front of the Emitter.
Prior to testing, ensure that the detector is isolated and the proper fire authorities and building maintenance
personnel are notified.
Components that do not pass the sensitivity tests should be cleaned or replaced. Refer to Section 5.3 for
preventative maintenance instructions.
Note: The OSID system will not respond to test smoke from aerosol cans nor to filters supplied with
traditional third party beam detectors, as it recognizes that these are not real smoke.

5.3 Maintenance
Although the OSID detector is highly tolerant to dust and dirt, a regular schedule of maintenance should be
implemented to ensure the best possible detector performance. Visual inspection and maintenance testing
similar to the sensitivity test performed during the commissioning process should be performed yearly or in
accordance to local codes and standards or as indicated by the Contamination fault in Table 2-1.
Preventative maintenance simply includes wiping optical surfaces using a damp lint-free cloth. Make sure that
during the cleaning of the detector its alignment remains unchanged. If the alignment was changed, it is
advised that Training Mode is re-initiated. Training Mode may be initiated by powering down the Imager for 10
seconds or more, then powering up to re-initiate system alignment.
The OSID detector has no user-serviceable parts.

6 Emitter Replacement and Addition

After the system has been installed it may be necessary to replace or add another Emitter into the system.
For replacing or adding an Emitter, please follow these steps:
1. Select an appropriate position for the Emitter, ensuring that the position complies with the guidelines
(Section 4.1).
2. Mount the Emitter in the appropriate position either by using supplied mounting brackets (Section 4.2.2)
or direct surface mounting (Section 4.2.3).
3. Wire the Emitter (if required) as shown in Section 4.2.8.
4. Manually align the Emitter to the Imager within the guidelines shown in Section 4.2.10.
5. If extra Emitters are being added to the system, the number of Emitters must be configured via the DIP
switch located on the Imager (Section 4.2.4).
6. Initiate Training Mode as described in Section 5.3.
7. Perform sensitivity tests as described in Section 5.2 to ensure the correct functioning of the detector.

7 Installation Kit
The OSID Installation Kit (OSID-INST) is used in commissioning and maintaining the correct operation of the
OSID Smoke Detector.
The kit contains the following items:
l OSID Installation and Maintenance Manual
l OSID commissioning aid (reflector)
l Blu-Tack adhesive
l OSID smoke simulating test filter
l OSID cleaning cloth
l OSID serial PC interface cable
l OSID laser alignment tool, with three LR44 button cell batteries pre-installed
The following sections describe how to use each component in this kit.

7.1 Use of Commissioning Reflector

When the OSID system is installed over very large distances and in brightly lit areas, it may be difficult to see
the output laser from the OSID Laser Alignment Tool when commissioning the system. To aid in the alignment
of the Imager and Emitter, the Commissioning Aid (reflector) is provided. The reflector should be attached to
the opposing unit that is not being aligned. For example, if the Emitter is being aligned, the reflector should be
attached to the front cover of the Imager. Returning light to the user, off the reflector, from the laser alignment
tool will be brighter and make it easier to determine if the unit being commissioned has been aligned correctly.
To attach the reflector to a unit, use a suitable amount of Blu-Tack adhesive. Insert two pieces of the adhesive
through the two holes in the reflector such that the adhesive material becomes rivet shaped on both sides.
Press the reflector firmly onto the unit as shown in Figure 7-1.

Figure 7-1: Attachment of reflector onto OSID unit

Note: A string can be connected to the reflector via the hole at the bottom so that once commissioning is
completed, the reflector can be removed from the ground by pulling on the string attached to the
reflector.
Refer to Section 4.2.10 for further information.

OSID Product Guide OSID by Xtralis

7.2 Changing Laser Alignment Tool Batteries

When the laser alignment tool is switched on to be used and no light source is emitted, the batteries need to
be replaced. The OSID Laser Alignment Tool uses three LR44 button cell batteries.
To change the batteries, unscrew the front half of the tool (1) from the back part of the alignment tool. Take out
the three existing batteries and insert the new batteries, with the positive (+) battery terminal facing out of the
laser tube. When the new batteries have been inserted, screw the two halves of the tool back together.

Legend
1 Front part of alignment tool
2 Switch part of alignment tool

Figure 7-2: Laser Alignment Tool

Notes:
l Used batteries should be disposed of according to local codes and standards.
l Ensure that the laser alignment tool is left switched off when not in use. A piece of adhesive tape over
the switch in the off position will ensure it does not switch on inadvertently.

7.3 Removing OSID Emitter Battery

The OSID Battery Emitter (OSE-SP) contains a Lithium Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCl2) D-cell battery. When the
battery has been drained and the Emitter is no longer functioning, the battery must be removed from the
Emitter and disposed of according to local codes and standards.
To remove the batteries, first take the front cover off the Emitter using a flat blade screwdriver as shown in
Figure 7-3.

Figure 7-3: Remove front cover from Emitter

Using a Pozidriv No. 1 tipped screwdriver, remove the three screws on the retaining ring of the front ball. Once
the retaining ring is removed, insert a flat blade screwdriver in the slot between the two halves of the front ball
and twist the screwdriver to split the front ball in half. Unplug the battery and detach it from the adhesive tape.
Do not dispose of the battery along with general waste. Contact your local waste disposal agency for the
address of the nearest battery deposit site.

Notes:
l Do not recharge, crush, disassemble, heat above 100C (212F), incinerate or expose the Lithium
Thionyl battery to water.
l Do not attempt to open or service batteries.
l Batteries are not replaceable.
l Do not dispose of the battery along with general waste.
l The Emitter is not allowed to be shipped in normal passenger aircraft with the battery installed .

7.4 Use of Commissioning Test Filter

After the OSID system has completed Training Mode, acceptance testing is initiated by simulating a smoke
condition to the system and verifying that an Alarm is initiated. The use of an OSID Smoke Simulating Test
Filter is the preferred method of conducting the Acceptance Test. Insert the test filter wholly in front of each
Emitters optical window in the OSID system. Keep the filter in place (up to 40s) until an Alarm has been
generated by the OSID Imager. When an Alarm has been generated, remove the filter from the beam path and
wait for the Imager to indicate a Normal functioning system before testing the next Emitter in the system.
Note: Prior to Acceptance Testing, the OSID detector should be Isolated to prevent false alarms from
being signaled to the fire authorities and building maintenance personnel.
Refer to Section 5.2 for more information.

7.5 Maintenance Cleaning

Regular maintenance on the OSID detector should be performed yearly or in accordance to local codes and
standards or as indicated by the Contamination Fault. Dampen the OSID Cleaning Cloth and wipe the optical
surface thoroughly, removing all dust and contaminants, leaving a visibly clean surface. Make sure that during
the cleaning of the detector its alignment remains unchanged. If the alignment was changed, it is advised that
Training Mode is re-initiated. Training Mode may be initiated by powering down the Imager for 10 seconds or
more, then powering up to re-initiate system alignment.
Note: Prior to cleaning, the OSID detector should be Isolated or de-energised to prevent false alarms or
faults from being signalled to the fire authorities and building maintenance personnel.
Refer to Section 5.3 for more information.

7.6 Using OSID USB FTDI Cable and OSID Monitor Software
The OSID Serial PC Interface Cable can be used to aid with commissioning of the OSID system during
Training Mode, and to diagnose any subsequent Faults in the system.
The Interface Cable is connected to the Imager via the jack plug socket on the underside of the Imager. The
USB connector end of the cable is connected to a computers USB port.
Notes:
l If the cable is of insufficient length, up to two 10m active USB 2.0 extension cables can be used to
extend the length.
l The cable is used in conjunction with the Xtralis OSID commissioning software called OSID Monitor.
l Before connecting the OSID Serial PC Interface Cable to a computer, the USB drivers should be
installed. The drivers and OSID Monitor software can be obtained from the Xtralis website, along with
software installation instructions.
