Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Model 121 Smoke Detector is designed for use in confined public areas where fire risk is significant. It provides early smoke detection to maximize time for fire-fighting and evacuation.

Operating Principle
The detector measures light absorption across a fixed distance, a method used in industrial opacity monitors. It emits a controlled light beam from a transmitter, detected by a receiver, to determine opacity. Clean air is 0% opacity, while black air is 100%. The system uses a high-intensity LED modulated at 600Hz to ensure only the intended light is measured.

Specifications
  • Range: 0 to 100% opacity
  • Response Time: 5 seconds for 90% response
  • Construction: Fully sealed to IP68
  • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C
  • Power Supply: 24V DC
  • Output: 4-20mA current loop proportional to opacity
  • Fault Alarm: Integrated in current loop output

Design and Durability
The Model 121 is designed to withstand harsh environments, including high vibration and shock levels, particularly in rolling stock. It is modular for easy installation and requires minimal maintenance, typically annual lens cleaning.

Certification and Testing
  • Shock and Vibration: IEC571
  • EMI: IEC801-3 and IEC801-4
  • Magnetic Fields: MIL STD461 and 462

Applications
Successfully used in Eurotunnel's 'roll-on-roll-off' trains for over 15 years, demonstrating high accuracy and stability over long periods.

Model 121 - Smoke Detector-1

high accuracy & stability maintained over long periodsdesigned to withstand the harshest environments modular construction ensures simple installation& low cable requirementsrugged units, fully sealed to IP68, designed forvery high availability with minimal maintenance requirements In confined public areas where the risk of fire isever-present, the need for adequate smoke detection is becoming increasingly important if unnecessary loss of life is to be avoided. Early warning of the presence of smoke allows the maximum possible time to instigate fire-fighting and evacuation procedures.The CODEL Model 121 measures the absorption of lighttransmitted across a fixed measurement distance, a priciple used in CODELs well-proven industrial opacity monitors. The Model 121 has been extensively tested to withstand the unique conditions associated with rolling stock and the high levels of vibration and shock likely to be encountered particularly when carriages are being shunted. These ceiling-mounted smoke detectors are easilyinstalled and maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the lenses - as little as once per year depending on the application.CODEL smoke detectors, together with UV flamedetectors (Models 602 and 611), have been in successful operation in the ґroll-on-roll-off trains operated by Eurotunnel for over 15 years. > Doc i/d : 090011 Issue : A Rev. : Date : 18/3/09ҩ 2009 CODEL International Ltd.
