Mode 4 has lower than normal smoke sensitivity combined with
high heat sensitivity. This makes it suitable for applications in
which a certain amount of fumes or smoke is considered normal.
Mode 5† has no smoke sensitivity at all but gives a pure heat
detector response meeting the response time requirements for a
Class A1R detector in the European Standard EN 54-5. In this mode
the detector will respond to slowly changing temperatures and has
a ‘fixed temperature’ alarm threshold at 58OC. The analogue value
in this mode will give the approximate air temperature over the
range 15OC to 55ºC.
In Mode 5 the smoke sensor is still active though it does not
contribute to the analogue signal. As a consequence, if the detector
is used in a dirty or smoky environment the optical sensor drift flag
may be activated in the heat only mode.

detector is forced electrically into alarm. An analogue value of 85
is returned to the fire control panel to indicate that the detector is
working correctly.
Rejection of transient signals
Discovery detectors are designed to give low sensitivity to very
rapid changes in the sensor output, since these are unlikely to
be caused by real fire conditions, resulting in fewer false alarms.
Drift compensation
Discovery MarineOptical / Heat Multisensor Detectors include
compensation for signal drift to compensate for changes in
the sensor output caused, for example by dust in the chamber,
and will therefore hold the sensitivity at a constant level even
with severe chamber contamination. This increased stability is
achieved without significantly affecting the detectors sensitivity
to fire whilst still meeting the requirements of the EN54 standard.
