Models FP-11 Siemens - did not test "FirePrint technology"
We were testing a Siemens panel and the canned smoke could not trip the FP-11 smoke detector
this is because the Siemens panel looks at the photo and heat together before it will trip.
this is the first time I saw this
The "on-board" FirePrint technology allows the
detector to gather smoke and thermal data, and to
analyze this information in the detector's "neural
network" . By comparing data received with the
common characteristics of fires, or fire fingerprints,
the FP-11 can compare these "Fire Prints" to those of
deceptive phenomena that cause other detectors to
alarm. The advanced FirePrint technology allows the
FP-11 to accurately determine a true fire hazard from
a nonthreatening deceptive phenomena WITHOUT
needing to use alarm delaying verification and confir-
mation techniques, which can increase the probability
of losses due to fire.

Testing ASD Devices Since one of the parameters transmitted to the detector adjusts the detection
algorithm (R-algorithm) to reduce false alarms, it is necessary to defeat ASD (or at least the R-algorithm) when
smoke testing ASD devices. The Test ASD_Devices menu option has been supplied for this purpose. When ASD
devices are to be smoke tested, the Test ASD_Devices option must be enabled. This disables the application
specific detection R-algorithm so the detector will alarm using the standard test gas method. If the Test ASD_Devices
option is not enabled prior to smoking the device, the tester may find it extremely difficult to alarm
the detector since the algorithms are designed not to be fooled by a deceptive phenomenon such as test gas.
