Figures 3 to 5 are detailed explanations of the present invention, in which an alarm signal is sent out in accordance with a change in the smoke detection signal Vo obtained by converting the ion current detected in the ion chamber into voltage. This shows what the timing will be like. As can be seen from the figure, when the smoke detection signal VO reaches the reference level VREFI of the first level discrimination circuit 21, the accumulation operation is started, and as long as the smoke detection signal Vo satisfies this level, the accumulation operation by the accumulation circuit 22 continues. This continues, and when the accumulation time t is reached, an alarm signal is sent out. Furthermore, even during the accumulation time t, as shown in FIG. 4, the level of the smoke detection signal VO reaches the reference level V RE of the second level discrimination circuit 3.
As soon as F2 is reached, an alarm signal can be sent out. However, for transient noise such as cigarette smoke, the monitoring state is maintained and no alarm signal is sent out, as shown in FIG.
