Hochiki HF-24 UV Flame Detector – Installation Manual 

9

 

 

Detector to Detector Distance 

In mounting more than one detector, the value of ‘R’ shown below is determined 
according to the detectable area mentioned in 2.2. 

 

 

Performance Check 

 

Approximately one second after the power supply is switched on, the 
 

detector which has been mounted reaches its’ normal operating condition 

 

Make flames within the detectable area using a candle or a lighter and 
confirm that an alarm is produced within 5 to 30 seconds in the area 
approximately 3m apart from the sensor 

 

The flame of a candle or a lighter should satisfy the requirements shown 
below 

 

 

Performance tests should be carried out in the area specified below
