Abstract: A drive pulse for emitting and turning-off a light emitting element is output, the level difference or the level ratio between the light emission zero point detection signal from a light receiving element having received the light from the light emitting element and a putting-off zero point detection signal from the light receiving element when the light emitting element is put off is calculated, and the level difference or the level ratio is compared with a preset level to thereby determine the abnormality of the light emitting element, the light receiving element and a peripheral circuit. With this arrangement, even if the ratio of noise light occupied in the zero point output is reduced, whether detecting elements and the peripheral circuit are good or bad and whether the elements are abnormally polluted or not can be reliably tested without the effect of the dispersion of the detecting elements and the change of an ambient temperature, whereby the reliability of a smoke detector is improved.

Abstract: In a light scattering smoke sensor of the present invention, a first diaphragm portion is disposed just aheat of a light receiving device, and a second diaphragm portion is disposed ahead of the first diaphragm portion. A gap between the first and second diaphragm portion is a smoke introducing portion which introduces smoke to a smoke detecting space via a gap between labyrinth members and the second diaphragm portion.

Abstract: A light scattering type smoke detector arranged such that even if the range in which light from an LED is emitted has a dispersion, a labyrinth member 90 in the light emitting range has no edge or only a predetermined labyrinth member exist therein. The labyrinth member 90 is preferably formed by a single plate larger than the other labyrinth members 9. The edges of the labyrinth members 9 are preferably formed to a curved surface or chamfered, and the dispersion of the 0 point of a detection output is reduced and the level of the 0 point of the detection signal is lowered to thereby accurately detect light scattered by smoke.

Abstract: A light scattering type smoke sensor of the present invention has a plurality of labyrinth members for facilitating an inflow of smoke entering from the outside, and for cutting off light entering from the outside; a plurality of smoke inlets each of which is formed by a space between paired ones of the labyrinth members being adjacent to each other; a smoke detecting chamber which is formed in a center portion by the labyrinth members; light emitting device for radiating light toward the smoke detecting chamber; and light receiving device for detecting light which is scattered by the smoke in the smoke detecting chamber, the light receiving device having an optical axis which intersects in the smoke detecting chamber an optical axis of the light emitting device at a scattering angle in the range of 60.degree. to 80.degree.

Abstract: A fire alarm system comprises a first light emitting device (11), a first polarizing filter (31), a first light receiving device (21), a second light emitting device (12), a second polarizing filter (32), and a second light receiving device (22). With the above arrangement, the amount of the parallel polarized component to the scattering plane as well as the amount of the perpendicular polarized component to the scattering plane is detected. The ratio between these amounts of light has a correlation with the type of smoke. A calculation section (4) calculates this ratio from the outputs of the light receiving devices (21, 22). A decision section (6) compares the above-described ratio with a reference value which has been preset according to the type of smoke to be detected, whereby the judgement of whether there is a fire or not is performed depending on the type of smoke. Thus, the detection of a fire can be performed from the light scattered by smoke taking into account the type of smoke.

Accordingly, the sensitivity test can be performed by visually counting the number of blinkings of the light emitting device.

Abstract: A smoke detector in which a plurality of labyrinth members are disposed on an upper wall in a standing position. In an area surrounded by the labyrinth members, a smoke detecting chamber is formed. A light emitting device and a light detecting device are disposed in such a manner that their optical axes intersect each other at the center of the smoke detecting chamber. In order for the visual field of the light detecting device with respect to the smoke detecting chamber to be restricted to the front area thereof, the labyrinth member which cross the optical axis of the light emitting device is formed so as to be longer than the other labyrinth members, and a gap is formed between the front end of the long labyrinth member and a light shielding plate for preventing the light emitted by the light emitting device from directly reaching the light detecting device.
