The unique ROOM·IDENT technology makes it possible to determine the lo-
cation of a fire when monitoring up to 5 separate areas. So that the emer-
gency services can act as quickly as possible, the seat of the fire can be
made known, for example, via reaction indicators which are allocated to the
various monitoring areas.

has one potential free contact each for alarm
and fault So the smoke detection system can be switched to collective and
addressable (Via the address module of the particular FAS) recording lines
of any central fire alarm systems (FAS). A relay card (optional) can be con-
nected to the TITANUS
MICRO·SENS
®
in order to connect the potential-free
contact for the pre-alarm to a detector line of a CFDU.
With the DIAG 3 diagnostics device, there is a system available for commis-
sioning, inspection and servicing which makes it possible to configure the
device quickly and easily and contain faults. For diagnostics purposes
events are stored in the TITANUS
MICRO·SENS
®
for 72 hours.
The monitoring surfaces of the detection point type for the TITANUS
CRO·SENS
®
are to be set to match the point-specific smoke alarms. The de-
MI-

Areas of Application
The TITANUS
MICRO·SENS
®
air sampling smoke detection system is a fire
alarm system for the protection of rooms, equipment and air conditioning
Principle
ducts.
Air samples for a monitoring area are taken through the draw-off holes in a
pipe system and fed to the detection unit.
The principle is particularly suitable for areas in which point type alarms are
not used or can only be used to a limited extent.
This involves areas in particular …
▪ where is a high risk of fire,
▪ where high detection sensitivity is required,
▪ where false alarms must be avoided,
▪ which are difficult to access and in which it is difficult to mount and/or in-
spect point type alarms,
▪ where interrupting operations for inspection and servicing must be
avoided, • which are air conditioned,
▪ where the height is greater than is allowed for point type alarms,
▪ where for aesthetic reasons point type alarms are not wanted,
▪ where there are strong electromagnetic fields,
▪ which are subjected to high or low temperatures,
▪ which have a heavy dust load,
▪ where the fire alarm equipment must be protected against vandalism or
sabotage.

tioning duct (principle representation).
The TITANUS® aspirating smoke detection system can also be used for ear-
liest detection of fires in rooms with special air conditioning.
Its high level of sensitivity means goods and equipment can be reliably moni-
tored. The TITANUS
®
is therefore especially suitable for areas of application,
▪ in which because of concentrated high values early intervention is nec-
essary.
▪ in which equipment must always be operational.
▪ in which highly sensitive detection is required (e.g. in areas where, be-
cause of built-in filter elements, there is a low level of smoke particles in
the air).
▪ in which there are high rates of air change.

System Description
The TITANUS
MICRO·SENS
®
aspirating smoke detection system comprises
a detection unit, device base and pipe system.
The most important components of the TITANUS
MICRO·SENS
®
are the
sensitive detection unit for picking up smoke aerosols and the aspiration unit
with integrated air flow sensor for transporting air samples and for monitoring
the pipe system for breaks and blockages.
The pipe system consists essentially of pipe and fittings, in either PVC or
ABS plastics.
Figure 4: Air sampling smoke detection system TITANUS MICRO•SENS®
To guarantee safe operation even under the most difficult conditions (e.g.
recycling area), there are extensive accessories available such as, e.g., an
integrated air filter, various external air filters or the blow through device. In
very cold areas, a deep freeze version of the TITANUS
MICRO·SENS
®
can
be used. A redundancy ventilator can be used for applications where there
are particular safety requirements.
When fitted to monitor several monitoring areas and blind spots, there are
reaction indicators for rapid identification of the seat of the fire and an offset
parallel display as a status indicator for the detection unit.

3.1.1
Phase 1
Function
Air samples are taken from the area to be monitored via a pipe system with
defined aspiration apertures, using the TITANUS
MICRO·SENS
unit and these are sent to the sensitive detection unit (see the following fig-
ure).
It is possible to locate the site of the fire using ROOM·IDENT with an I-pipe
design for a maximum 5 rooms or pieces of equipment. The operating prin-
ciple incorporates four phases:
During operating conditions air samples are taken from the pipes covering
the various rooms. The samples are taken via fan to the detector unit and
analysed for possible smoke particles.

Phase 2
Figure 5: Phase 1 ROOM·IDENT standard operation
The system will activate an alarm once it has reached an alarm threshold
level due to the rise of typical smoke aerosols. If „Fire alarm after
ROOM·IDENT“ is enabled, then the localisation process will start after an ad-
justable Action - Alarm threshold. The system will activate an alarm once the
localisation is completed.

In case alarm or at function „Fire alarm after ROOM·IDENT“ once the system
has reached the adjustable action the aspiration fan is switched off and a
second fan is switched on, blowing out the smoke particles in the opposite
direction.

Phase 4
After the pipe system has been freed from smoke, the airflow is reversed
once again and the time it takes for the smoke to reach the detector unit is
measured. With this time value the exact location of the smoke source is
given and shows which room is affected.

Detection
Depending on the reaction sensitivity of the detection unit used (which can
be 0.1 %/m to 2 %/m light obscuration or 0.5 %/m to 2 %/m light obscura-
tion), the TITANUS
MICRO·SENS
®
triggers the main alarm once the corre-
sponding light turbidity is reached. The sensitivity can be set in steps of 0.1
%/m. The alarm is shown on the device via the alarm display and forwarded
to a connected fire alarm system (FAS).
By changing the delay time with the diagnosis tool, the forwarding of alarms
and faults can be set.
The intelligent LOGIC·
SENS
signal processing device serves to blank out
fire-like false alarms and ensures high false alarm safety.
irflow monitoring
An airflow sensor checks the connected pipe system for breaks and block-
ages.
Depending on the design of the pipe system and the setting on the air-flow
sensor, the blockage of just one aspiration aperture can be picked up. The
airflow monitoring is temperature-compensated and can be made air pres-
sure-dependent.
At the end of the adjustable delay time, the fault is shown on the smoke de-
tection system and a corresponding message is forwarded to the central fire

environmental conditions.
The principle of the airflow sensor signalling process can be seen in the fol-
lowing figure.

Device monitoring
irflow adjustment
The detection unit is monitored for dirt and signal fault. Any fault which oc-
curs is displayed at the TITANUS
MICRO·SENS
®
and can be forwarded to
the FAS via a contact.
Airflow adjustment on the TITANUS
MICRO·SENS
®
is fully automatic when
the detection unit is inserted in the device base, if previously the Jumper X4
had been changed. This plug & play reduces the time needed for commis-
sioning to a minimum. It is also possible, however, to adjust the airflow using
the DIAG 3 diagnosis tool. This means the initialisation phase can be carried
out in an air pressure-dependent or air pressure-independent manner.
Resetting through FAS
A fault message is reset via the connected FAS. If whilst the TITANUS
CRO·SENS
®
is operating an FAS alarm and fault [messages] have to be re-
MI-
set at the same time as the control line, then as an option a reset board can
be inserted in a separate housing. The reset board can only be placed in a
separate housing and if the idle current on the line is between 5 mA and 50
mA. The line must be switched to dead for resetting. The effect is that when
there is any short-term switching off of the line voltage, the alarm and fault
messages on the TITANUS
06/13
MICRO·SENS
®
are automatically reset.
