Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0002868A2] Fire detector comprising fire sensing means and switching means short-circuiting the lines in the case of a fire which is so constructed that a large alarm current flowing through the detector once operated by a fire is promptly reduced to a small current, and the line voltage to which the detectors are connected is promptly returned from a voltage nearly equal to the short-circuit voltage to the normal voltage. Accordingly, even if fire detectors connected to plural detector lines are operated successively, there is no possibility of coming short of the capacity of the power source in the control panel, or even after a detector in a detector line has been operated, fire detection by another detector connected in the same detector line is still possible.
