3.1

Sensitivity

The detector can be configured to one of four sensitivity levels: low, medium, high, and extreme. The

following table lists for each sensitivity setting the maximum distance, in which a standard fire

would be reliably detected.

ABLE

ENSITIVITY LEVELS

Sensitivity level

Detection distance

in feet (meters)

Low

16 (5)

Medium

49 (15)

High

75 (23)

Extreme

98 (30)

Further details about the response characteristics of the detector at the different sensitivity settings

and fuel types can be found in 10

3.2

Ultra-Fast Detection

The ultra-fast detection feature allows detection of fireballs and explosions at 5 milliseconds. If

enabled, this feature is independent of other detection algorithms and alarm delays.

3.3

Alarm Delay

When a flame is detected, the flame detector delays the execution of the alarm outputs up to the

configured period. After this time delay, the detector re-evaluates the situation. If a flame is still

detected the alarm outputs are activated.

3.4

Alarm Latch

If the alarm latch is enabled, the detector outputs will remain active even after a flame is no longer

detected. To reset the detector outputs the detector must be power cycled or a manual BIT

initiated.

3.5

Enable Pre-Alarm 0-20mA

If the Pre-Alarm is enabled and Alarm Delay is greater than 0, the detector 0-20mA output will be

16mA and the red LED will blink in case of a pre-alarm fire condition.

A standard fire is defined as a 1x1

(0.1 m

) N-heptane pan fire, with maximum wind speed of 6.5

ft/s (2 m/s).
