3.0 Cirrus Hybrid General


3.1 Introduction
The Cirrus Hybrid utilises both Cloud Chamber and Scatter Chamber detection technology to monitor for
Fire and Smoke through an aspirating pipe system. These two technologies are used together to combine
the best attributes of each technology in an algorithm based system.

3.2 Cloud Chamber


It is known that particles smaller than the wavelength of visible light occur spontaneously as a material is
overheated, and in numbers far above those present in a normal ambient environment. Cirrus Hybrid
utilises the Wilson Cloud Chamber principle to detect the sub-micron particles that are generated at the
incipient, and all other stages of fire.

A filtered air sample is delivered to the detector via a centrifugal blower, a portion of which is diverted into a
humidifier. At approximately 100% relative humidity, the sample is directed to the Cloud Chamber where,
because of cooling, due to rapid vacuum expansion, water condenses onto the small particles and forms a
‘cloud’.

Consequently, the thermally generated particles cause many droplets to form into the cloud, which is then
detected by the measuring system of the Cloud Chamber. The density of the cloud being proportional to
the number of particles present.

The result is a continuous signal that corresponds to the particle concentration. This signal is used to
provide a staged alarm sequence with four alarm levels.

The Cirrus Hybrid is a self-supervised system that continuously monitors for correct operation. Any problem
is immediately reported on the front panel display, buzzer and the operation of a Fault relay.

The Cirrus Hybrid locally stores fault data, background particle concentration and event data. These can be
accessed from the Menus.

3.3 Scatter Chamber Detector


The Scatter Chamber Detector (SCD) operates by measuring the light scattered by the air within the scatter
chamber.

A photo sensitive sensor element is placed in a dark chamber with a high brightness light source that
cannot be ‘seen’ by the sensor. When smoke is present the light is scattered in all directions, some of
which is detected by the sensor and relates to the amount of smoke present.

The scatter chamber detector in the Cirrus Hybrid is very sensitive, many times more than that of the point
detector and so can be used in an aspirating system which has considerable dilution from clean areas.

3.4 Hybrid
As scatter chambers are as sensitive to dust as they are to smoke, the hybrid system utilises the cloud
chamber as the primary detector which is not affected by dust with a boost signal when the scatter
chamber detects the smoke. Using the two technologies allows the Cirrus Hybrid to make the fire decision
even earlier whilst minimising the detection of false alarms.

The features of the Protec Cirrus Hybrid Aspirating Smoke Detector are:

 Incipient fire detection via Cloud Chamber  Common Fault output contact
Detector technology  5 Programmable output contacts
 High performance optical smoke detection  3 Programmable input contacts
via Scatter Chamber Detectors  Airflow monitoring per pipe channel
 Up to 4 detection areas  Variable blower speed control
 LED status indication; to indicate supply  7” Full colour LCD touch screen display for

8.0 Maintenance
Maintenance service visits are dependent upon the type of application environment. For example a unit
installed into a dirty environment will require more frequent maintenance then a clean environment. All
maintenance should be carried out by a suitably trained and qualified person.

8.1 Cloud Chamber Water Requirements


Distilled water only, replenished as required, dependent upon environment. Low ambient humidity
(<50% R.H) or high ambient temperature (>30C) conditions will increase the water usage.

8.2 Periodic Checks and Maintenance


The Cirrus Hybrid continuously adjusts its monitoring functions by means of feedback loops, ensuring a
minimum of maintenance. To ensure continued correct operation, the system must be checked:

 Daily by the User.


 Every three months by Protec Fire Detection or an authorised representative.
 Whenever building alterations have been performed which could affect the system's operation.
 Whenever equipment within the protected area has been altered which could affect the system's
operation.
 During a fault condition.
 After any alarm condition.

The following are based on average conditions. Because of the wide range of possibilities in various
applications, the frequency of periodic checks and maintenance may have to be adjusted accordingly.

8.3 Daily Checks


The following must be performed EVERY DAY by the system User:

 Check system indicates a healthy condition.


 Any fault indicated should be recorded in the system logbook and investigated.
