ABSTRACT:
A light emitting device for projecting a light beam onto a monitor area, and a light receiving device, arranged so that a light beam is not directly received by the device, for receiving diffused light caused as a result of fine particles, such as dust, or smoke caused by a fire, entering the monitor area, are provided. Also, an amplifying device for amplifying an output from the light receiving device, and a counting device for counting the output from the amplifying device in units of time are provided. In addition, a computing device for computing an average value or an integrated value of the output from the amplifying device in units of time, and a determining device for determining the level of contamination of the monitor area on the basis of the count value of the counting device and for determining the level of the fire on the basis of the average value or the integrated value computed by the computing device, are provided. As a result, a smoke detecting apparatus consisting of a single unit capable of detecting both smoke and fine particles can be provided, the apparatus detecting a fire on the basis of an environmental abnormality.
