Function 

+IN 

Power V. +IN is the power supply input to the flame detector 
and is normally 24Vdc with respect to terminal 2. The current 
consumption of detector can be monitored to determine the detector 
status (Fault, Normal, Pre-alarm, Fire). If the detector is in latching 
mode then this supply line must be broken in order to reset the 
detector. A thermal fuse within the detector will blow and break the +IN 
connection if the detector operating temperature is exceeded. 

-IN 

Power Supply 0V. –IN is the return path for the detector supply current.  
-IN is also internally connected to terminal 4.  

+R 

Remote Detector Test Input +V. No connection to +R is necessary if 
the detector optical and circuit test feature is not required. If 24Vdc is 
applied to terminals 3 and 4 the detector internal optical test sources 
will activate to simulate a flame. The detector yellow test LED will 
flicker to indicate an optical test is progress. The detector will then 
alarm indicating that the test was successful.  

-R 

Remote Detector Test Input 0V. No connection to -R is necessary if the 
detector optical and circuit test feature is not required. 
-R is internally connected to terminal 2. 

 
 
 

 

 

 

RL1 

Flame Relay RL1. This volt free contact is normally open (N/O) and 
only closes when a flame has been detected. If the detector is in 
latching mode (see DIL switch settings) the contact will remain closed 
once a flame has been detected. Only when the detector IN is 
broken will the detector reset and the contact open once again.  The 
contact can be changed to a normally closed (N/C) state by moving the 
link on JP1 in the rear of the detector.  
Maximum relay contact ratings: Power=3W, Current=0.25Amp, 
Voltage=30Vdc. Resistive loads only. 

 
 
 

 
 
 

RL2 

Fault or Pre-alarm Relay RL2. This volt free contact is normally closed 
(N/C) if the detector has no faults and the supply voltage between 
terIN and –IN is the correct value. If the detector mode is 
changed (see DIL switch settings) this relay can be de-energised to 
reduce the detector current consumption. Alternatively RL2 can be set 
to provide a pre-alarm fire signal. The normal contact state can be 
changed state by moving the link on JP2 in the rear of the detector. 
Maximum relay contact ratings: Power=3W, Current=0.25Amp, 
Voltage=30Vdc. Resistive loads only.
