Abstract

A physical quantity such as temperature, infrared radiation or smoke is detected by means of a conversion device for emitting an alarm signal whose amplitude is representative of the intensity of the physical quantity. The detector comprises a unit for measuring relative variations of the signal in time, for comparing them with a preset threshold level and for actuating the alarm when they exceed the threshold level.
