Conventional and older technology UV/IR detectors, using
narrow band 4.3 micron IR sensors, will not respond to smoky
fires or if the detector lens is contaminated with oil and
other substances since both UV and 4.3 micron signals are
attenuated, obscured or absorbed by thick smoke or detector
lens contaminations. All UV sensors will be attenuated to some
degree. Also, these old technology UV/IR detectors will not alarm
to any fire if they are installed behind ordinary window glass.
