IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
WARNING
Do not open the detector assembly in a hazardous
area when power is applied. The detector contains
limited serviceable components and should never
be opened. Doing so could disturb critical optical
alignment and calibration parameters, possibly
causing serious damage.
CAUTION
The wiring procedures in this manual are intended
to ensure proper functioning of the device under
normal conditions. However, because of the
many variations in wiring codes and regulations,
total compliance to these ordinances cannot be
guaranteed. Be certain that all wiring complies
with the NEC as well as all local ordinances. If
in doubt, consult the authority having jurisdiction
before wiring the system. The PowerLoop
calculator must verify all wiring calculations.
Installation must be done by a properly trained
person.
CAUTION
To prevent unwanted actuation or alarm,
extinguishing devices must be disabled prior to
performing system tests or maintenance.
CAUTION
The multispectrum IR flame detectors are to be
installed in places where the risk of mechanical
damages is low.
ATTENTION
Remove the protective cap from the front of the
detector before activating the system.
ATTENTION
Observe precautions for handling electrostatic
sensitive devices.
INSTALLATION
NOTE
The recommended lubricant for threads and
O-rings is a silicone free grease (part number
116-005003-001) available from Autronica. Under
no circumstances should a lubricant containing
silicone be used.
DETECTOR POSITIONING
Detectors should be positioned to provide the best
unobstructed view of the area to be protected . The
following factors should also be taken into consideration:
•
Identify all high risk fire ignition sources .
•
Be sure that enough detectors are used to adequately
cover the hazardous area .
•
Be sure that the unit is easily accessible for cleaning
and other periodic servicing .
•
Verify that all detectors in the system are properly
located and positioned so that any fire hazards are
within both the Field of View (FOV) and detection
range of the detector . The Q1201C Laser Aimer is
recommended for establishing the detector's FOV .
Refer to the "High Resolution Field of View Diagrams"
section for specific information regarding detector
range and FOV .
•
The detector should be aimed downward at least 10
to 20 degrees to allow lens openings to drain . See
Figure 1 .
The detector should be positioned so
that its FOV does not cover areas outside the area
that requires flame detection monitoring. This will
minimize the possibility of false alarms caused by
activities outside the area requiring protection .
