Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0384209A2] This detector exhibits a measuring chamber which can be ionised by a radioactive source, is accessible to the environmental air and has a first electrode connected to a d.c. feed voltage and a measuring electrode, the potential of which changes as a function of the density of the smoke when smoke enters the measuring chamber, and is measured for the purpose of generating a smoke alarm signal when it reaches a predetermined value, the potential of the measuring electrode being measured for at least one further electrical field strength and being compared with at least one second potential value which occurs at the second field strength in accordance with the law of small ion deposition when there are smoke aerosols in the measuring chamber. <IMAGE>
