  • Patent number: 10360789
    Abstract: A composite fire detector (12) which senses a heat temperature, smoke concentration, and gas concentration due to fire is connected to a transmission path (16) drawn from a fire receiver (10). When a fire test operation is sensed by the fire receiver, a test mode is set to the fire detector. The fire detector performs display control over alarm indicating lights in a mutually varied manner corresponding to each alarm test when a test jig is used to conduct an alarm test by sensing of a heat temperature, an alarm test by sensing of a smoke concentration, and an alarm test by sensing of a gas concentration in a state where the test mode is set. For example, the fire detector repeats one-time blinking of the alarm indicating lights for heat sensing, two-time blinking for smoke sensing, and three-time blinking for gas sensing at intervals of a predetermined nonoperating period.

  • Publication number: 20170103843
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wound iron core (3) for a static apparatus in which magnetic paths in the inside of the wound iron core are subdivided to improve iron core characteristics. The iron core (3) is configured by using two or more kinds of magnetic materials (11 to 14) with different magnetic permeabilities to form laminated blocks with single plates or a plurality of laminated plates and by alternately arranging the laminated blocks with different magnetic permeabilities from the inner circumference. An iron core material (14) with large magnetic permeability out of iron core materials with different magnetic permeabilities is arranged on the inner circumference side. Further, when the iron core materials with different magnetic permeabilities are alternately arranged, the iron core materials (11) with the same magnetic permeability are configured to gradually change in thickness to ease an excessive magnetic flux density distribution in the iron core.
