The innovative design of the Soteria Dimension Optical Detector differs from standard fire detectors, having no chamber and being flush mounted. A new optical sensing technology is used to detect smoke particles outside the detector housing. A combination of Infra-Red (IR) LEDs and photo-diodes identify smoke particles, detected just below the detector housing and initiates an alarm.

Electrical Description
The Soteria Dimension Optical Detector is designed to be connected to a two-wire loop circuit carrying both data and a 17 V - 35 V dc supply. A short-circuit isolator is also integrated into the detector head.
Operation
The Soteria Dimension Optical Detector contains two daylight filtered photo-diodes and three IR emitters in different positions and angles. Different combinations of these are used to act as smoke sensors and proximity sensors to measure the smoke level at the detector and to detect any physical obstruction or interference of the detector.
As this detector is chamberless, an IR LED emits light outside the detector. The light is scattered by smoke back towards the detector and registered by a photo-diode.
A pair of microprocessors control these sensors, setting the sensor timings and using a digital phase-sensitive detection algorithm to reduce noise and the effect of background light. They then provide digital filtering for transient rejection, compensation for drift and temperature and ultimately make an alarm decision.
The mode of operation may be selected at the fire control panel.
Anti-abrasion coated windows make the detector more resistant to physical damage. With the detection region external to the detector case, the Soteria Dimension Optical Detector is designed to be flush mounted, with a very low profile.
The device has a polycarbonate front plate, which can be locked into place with a grub screw locking mechanism. Three LEDs provide status indication as detailed on Datasheet PP2550.
The Soteria Dimension Optical Detector has been designed and manufactured in the UK to exacting standards using advanced simulation and development processes.
Device Addressing
The device address may be set using an 8-bit DIL switch on the detector head.
Communication
The Soteria Dimension Optical Detector uses the Apollo digital CoreProtocol to allow more advanced control and configuration, whilst maintaining backwards compatibility with previous generations of Apollo products – Discovery and XP95. For future feature availability, please check with your panel partner.
It should be noted that not all features of the Soteria Dimension Optical Detector will be available when used with Discovery or XP95 fire control panels. If the Soteria Dimension Optical Detectors are used with XP95 fire control panels incorporating drift compensation algorithms, these must be disabled when communicating with the Soteria Dimension Optical Detectors.
Backward Compatibility
The Soteria Dimension Optical Detectors have been designed to operate on XP95 and Discovery loops.
Maintenance
For testing and maintenance of the SOTERIA® Dimension detectors you will need the Solo 365 Smoke Detector Tester equipped with the Solo 372 Adaptor.
