METHOD AND SYSTEM TO ENABLE SELECTIVE SMOKE DETECTION SENSITIVITY

摘要

There is provided a method to enable selective smoke detection sensitivity onboard an aircraft. The method has the step of installing one or more sensitivity selectable smoke detector assemblies. The method further has the step of electrically or wirelessly coupling the one or more sensitivity selectable smoke detector assemblies installed onboard the aircraft to one or more sensitivity selector controls installed onboard the aircraft. The method further has the step of selecting an alarm setpoint sensitivity level from two or more alarm setpoint sensitivity levels for each of the one or more sensitivity selectable smoke detector assemblies, based on sensitivity level determination factors of one or more of a mission type of the aircraft, a cargo type on the aircraft, a compartment zone specific area type on the aircraft, and an occupancy state on the aircraft.

1. A method to enable selective smoke detection sensitivity onboard an aircraft, the method comprising the steps of:
installing one or more sensitivity selectable smoke detector assemblies onboard the aircraft; electrically or wirelessly coupling the one or more sensitivity selectable smoke detector assemblies installed onboard the aircraft, to one or more sensitivity selector controls installed onboard the aircraft; and selecting an alarm setpoint sensitivity level from two or more alarm setpoint sensitivity levels for each of the one or more sensitivity selectable smoke detector assemblies, based on sensitivity level determination factors comprising one or more of a mission type of the aircraft, a cargo type on the aircraft, a compartment zone specific area type on the aircraft, and an occupancy state on the aircraft.
