Abstract
An integrated system platform includes a sensor containing an embedded microcontroller and associated circuitry for providing safety critical functionality. Signal conditioning circuitry is coupled to the sensor along with gas concentration determining circuitry, alarm status circuitry and fault status evaluation circuitry. Wherein the sensor is operational with a main control module and at least one alarm output device.
Claims18
A detector comprising:
- a sensor module which includes a sensor, circuitry which provides at least one of gas, fire, smoke or radiation sensing evaluation of potential alarm conditions in response to outputs from the sensor, and, generation of at least one output indicator in response thereto in accordance with predetermined certification requirements;
- and
- a second module which is coupled to the sensor module and which provides different, uncertified functions.
A modular detector comprising:
- a sensing module with at least one ambient condition sensor, and condition sensing and evaluating circuitry coupled thereto wherein the circuitry includes executable control instructions wherein the configuration and performance of the instructions pertains to regulated, safety issues;
- and
- an electronic module coupled to the sensing module which includes circuits that do not pertain to regulated safety issues.
