‎Detector Database Import/Export

 

The Detector Database can be accessed in one of two ways:

 

• From the toolbar, selecting Project -> Detector Database

• Selecting the Flame Detector Model Database icon on the tool strip menu.

 

Below is an image of the Detector Database window. Here, starred FOV models will show up in the dropdown menu options when selecting to change or add a new detector. You may also search the Manufacturer's Database and 'star' devices most applicable for your project. Starred models will be available from the dropdown menus in the Project Items and Add Items tabs.

In this window you can click the view button to see a top and side view of the curvature and ranges of the model, export a single detector, import a detector, or delete a detector.
