Abstract

An ionization type smoke detector (10) includes a chamber having a measuring electrode (12), the voltage on the measuring electrode being a function of the concentration of smoke in the chamber, and further includes a comparison device (A3) for comparing the voltage measured on electrode (12) at two different times, and an output device (K) for producing an output signal if the voltages differ by a predetermined value.
