Abstract
This fire detector is provided with a light-emitting portion that repeats stopping of light emission and light emission a plurality of number of times in predetermined light emission periods during a predetermined smoke detection operation time set for each first period; a light-receiving portion that receives the light emitted from the light-emitting portion and outputs a light reception signal during the smoke detection operation time; a light reception signal detecting portion that detects as a zero-point light reception signal the light reception signal that the light-receiving portion outputs at each light emission stop timing of the smoke detection operation time, and detects as a smoke light reception signal the light reception signal that the light-receiving portion outputs at each light emission timing; a smoke detecting portion that detects a smoke detection signal based on the zero-point light reception signals of a plurality of number of times and the smoke light reception signals of a plurality of number of times detected by the light reception signal detecting portion; and a noise assessing-processing portion that assesses the presence of mixing-in of noise to the light reception signal based on the zero-point light reception signals of a plurality of number of times and the smoke light reception signals of a plurality of number of times, and carries out noise removal processing in a case of having assessed that the noise is mixed in.
