There are no user serviceable parts inside the Cirrus Hybrid. A competent person trained to
undertake such work MUST carry out any internal maintenance work. A separate installation
and commissioning manual is available.
This equipment has been manufactured in conformance with the requirements of all
applicable EU council directives and regulations.
Electrical or electronic devices that are no longer serviceable must be collected separately and
sent for environmentally compatible recycling (in accordance with the European Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive). To dispose of old electrical or electronic devices,
you should use the return and collection systems put in place in the country concerned.
The policy of Protec Fire Detection plc is one of continuous improvement. As such we reserve the right to
make changes to product specifications at any time and without prior notice. Errors and omissions excepted.

BS5839 Pt 1: 2013 Section 7 states that the user of the fire alarm system must appoint a single named
person to supervise all matters regarding the fire alarm system.

A filtered air sample is delivered to the detector via a centrifugal blower, a portion of which is diverted into a
humidifier. At approximately 100% relative humidity, the sample is directed to the Cloud Chamber where,
because of cooling, due to rapid vacuum expansion, water condenses onto the small particles and forms a
‘cloud’.
Consequently, the thermally generated particles cause many droplets to form into the cloud, which is then
detected by the measuring system of the Cloud Chamber. The density of the cloud being proportional to
the number of particles present.
The result is a continuous signal that corresponds to the particle concentration. This signal is used to
provide a staged alarm sequence with four alarm levels.
The Cirrus Hybrid is a self-supervised system that continuously monitors for correct operation. Any problem
is immediately reported on the front panel display, buzzer and the operation of a Fault relay.
The Cirrus Hybrid locally stores fault data, background particle concentration and event data. These can be
accessed from the Menus.

A photo sensitive sensor element is placed in a dark chamber with a high brightness light source that
cannot be ‘seen’ by the sensor. When smoke is present the light is scattered in all directions, some of
which is detected by the sensor and relates to the amount of smoke present.
The scatter chamber detector in the Cirrus Hybrid is very sensitive, many times more than that of the point
detector and so can be used in an aspirating system which has considerable dilution from clean areas.
3.4 Hybrid
As scatter chambers are as sensitive to dust as they are to smoke, the hybrid system utilises the cloud
chamber as the primary detector which is not affected by dust with a boost signal when the scatter
chamber detects the smoke. Using the two technologies allows the Cirrus Hybrid to make the fire decision
even earlier whilst minimising the detection of false alarms.
The features of the Protec Cirrus Hybrid Aspirating Smoke Detector are:
Incipient fire detection via Cloud Chamber Common Fault output contact
Detector technology 5 Programmable output contacts
High performance optical smoke detection 3 Programmable input contacts
via Scatter Chamber Detectors Airflow monitoring per pipe channel
Up to 4 detection areas Variable blower speed control
LED status indication; to indicate supply 7” Full colour LCD touch screen display for
healthy, fault, pre-alarm and fire fault reporting and ease of setup

Selecting a pipe dial on the home page displays the two fire
and smoke technologies calculated to generate the combined
fire and smoke signal (CFS).
Fire and Smoke is a combination of the two technologies to
create the combined fire and smoke (CFS) algorithm.
Time zone
Providing ‘timezone’ is enabled, the home page will display to
indicate the pipe night mode is activated.
The Cirrus Hybrid is fitted with an internal buzzer. The buzzer will sound when the unit is in Fault, Pre-
alarm or Fire.
Buzzer parameters
Fault Slow 1 second ON and 1 second OFF
Pre Alarm Slow 1 second ON and 1 second OFF
Fire Fast ½ second ON and ½ second OFF
The user access level allows the internal buzzer to be silenced by pressing the silence button.
When a fire is active the Cirrus Hybrid displays a reset button. Press the reset button to manually reset the
fire. The fire will automatically reset once the potential hazard is removed.

The Cirrus Hybrid stores all fire, faults and events in the event log. The event log can store a maxium of
256 events. In the user access level 16 latest events are viewable.
Displays a map of the system pipework installation, providing requested at time of commissioning.
To remove the image map from the display touch the screen anywhere, the display will return to the home

The appointed ‘Responsible Person’ should investigate the relevant area following the official
procedures for the building. Extreme care must be exercised at all times.
5.2 Fire
When a fire alarm condition is activated the Cirrus Hybrid unit will display the pipe text of the pipe in alarm
and the fire alarm level (1, 2 or 3) in the ‘detector status’ list. The fire alarm level LED will illuminate and the
buzzer will pulse (fast). Any commissioned outputs will activate and the fire condition is reported to the
Protec Fire panel.
To reset the fire panel refer to the fire panel user manual.

8.0 Maintenance
Maintenance service visits are dependent upon the type of application environment. For example a unit
installed into a dirty environment will require more frequent maintenance then a clean environment. All
maintenance should be carried out by a suitably trained and qualified person.
The following are based on average conditions. Because of the wide range of possibilities in various
applications, the frequency of periodic checks and maintenance may have to be adjusted accordingly.
