Features and Benefits
Selectable Sensitivity (four settings)
User can set an FSX Detector to four (4) different Detector sensitivity levels
(see Section 3.2).
Selectable Relay Options
User configurable for a variety of dry contact relay interface options (see Section 3.2).
Selectable 4
– 20 mA Output
User can set for Source or Sink non-isolated output (see Section 3.2).
Selectable Communications
User can configure for analog or digital communication outputs such as ModBus (see Section 3.2).
Selectable Digital Communication Address
Users can select unique 7-bit code (128 addresses) (see Section 3.2).
Lower Power Consumption
Requires smaller external power supplies and fewer system backup batteries.
Dual Microprocessors
Reduces the number of discrete Detector components, provides larger programming and memory
capacity, and provides redundant self-checking.
100% Solid-State Quantum IR Sensors
Superior performance, stability, reliability, durability, and ruggedness. Provides higher MTBF and much
wider operating temperature range.
Higher Operating Temperature
185°F (85°C) for more applications and 230°F (110°C) available for higher temperature applications.
Lower Operating Temperature
-40°F (-40°C) for more applications and -76°F (-60°C) available for lower temperature applications.
Built-
In Automatic “Through-the-Lens” Self-Test
Monitors window lens obscuration and checks the operation of the Detector’s Sensor Array and Electro-
Optical Electronics Module.
Anodized Field Removable Detector Aluminum Module (Puck)
Rugged, superior protection against EMI/RFI and handling plus easier field installation and replacement.
Three Separate Bright LED’s (Red, Yellow, Blue)
Field stat
us indicators with individual LED’s for Alarm, Fault and Normal conditions. Provides superior
Detector status viewing in bright outdoor environments (see Section 3.6).
FSC Windows® based PC Interface
User can perform remote FSX Detector diagnostics, real-time status, Real-Time Graphing (RTG
),
SnapShot
data recording, and downloading FirePic’s
with Fire Sentry’s exclusive FSIM-2 USB
Interface Unit and easy to use Windows
®
based PC Software.
Designed to Detect both Hydrocarbon and Non-Hydrocarbon Fires with one FSX
Detector
All fire and flame threats are sensed, not just hydrocarbon fires as with other Triple IR Flame Detectors.
Designed, Manufactured, Tested, and Patented by Fire Sentry Corporation
Over 28 years of proven fire / flame detection product excellence worldwide.
