4.5.3 MINERVA CONTROLLER AND
REMOTE PRINTERS
The local bus is designed for transmission over a very short
distance [less than I metre] and so printers attached to this
[see para 4.4.2] must be positioned adjacent to the
controlkr. If it is required to have printers positioned at a
remote location, an MPIM [personality PIB-RJ must be
used. This MPIM has its address set on-board and is
connected to the controller's remote bus.
The connections between a MINERVA controller and remote
printers are shown in Fig. 25.

given in Table 3. The use ofll520 Mk 2 Line Isolator Modules is required for
two reasons, short-circuit protection and zoning.
Each LI520 Mk 2 module introduces a resistance of

1.1 PERIODIC INSPECTION
a) Ensure that there have been no structural chang-
es which may require a change of
protection. Any such changes must be the sub-
ject of a report to the Service Department,
h) check that no physical dmnagc has occ~irrcd to
the detectors, and that stability and alignment
arc not disturbed,
c) check that the interconnecting cables arc un-
damaged and secure,
d) check Heat Detectors [MD900 Series] and
Smoke Detectors [MF901, MR90I and
MR90 IT] to confirm that a clear space of at least
600mm radius is preserved in all directions be-
low the mounting plane of the detector,
c) check Smoke Dclectors [MF901, MR901 and
MR90IT] to confinn that the passage of smoke
into the detector i:s not obstructed by surround-
ing objects,
f) check those detectors as required in the servic-
ing schedule for correct operation. Detectors
which fail to operate satisfactorily must be re-
moved, a replacement inserted and the zone re-
commissioned. Do not attempt to disassemble
or repair a detector but return it to the factory for
disposal.

The optical system consists of an emitter and photodetector with
a lens in front of each, so arranged that their optical axes cross
in the centre of the sampling volume. The emitter, with its lens,
produces a narrow beam oflight which is prevented from reach-
ing the photodctector by the baffles. When smoke is present in

of which reaches the photodetector. For a given type of smoke,
the iight reaching the photodctector is proportional to the smoke
density and is converted into an analogue electrical signal for
transmission to the fire control unit.
