PO60 SEMIFINAL Flashcards
Fire detection system primary purpose?
To detect
Two categories of engine fire detection?
- Spot detection
2. Continuous loop
In a —— individual fire detectors, or switches, detect a fire. A fire warning sounds only when a fire exists in the same location as a detector
Spot detection
The —— uses a single switch in the form of a long tube to detect fire.
Continuous loop
When you depress the single loop test switch the warning light does not illuminate and or the warning horn does not sound. What are the possible faults?
- Open in test circuit.
- Open in warning light/horn circuit
- Open in the fire loop
- Faulty relat or relay ground
- Faulty lamp or ground
- Faulty test switch
The fenwal continuous loop type system that consists of
Single fire detection element (overheat)
What happens when a fire or overheat condition occurs in the fenwal continuous loop system?
The electric core resistance drops and current flows to ground and the alarm circuit is energized
The kidde continuous loop system consists if a single overheat sensing element that…
Has twonwire conductors + thermistor material
3 primary pneumatic continuous loop detector systems?
- Lindberg
- Systron Donner
- Meggit
What happens in the lindberg continuous loop system when the gas absorbing material is heated?
Release gas and mechanically actuated the switch
What type of fire detection system uses a photoelectric sensor to measure the amount of visable light or infrared radiation in an enclosed area?
Flame detector
