MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
Periodic flamepath inspections are not
recommended, since the product is not intended
to be serviced and provides proper ingress
protection to eliminate potential deterioration of the
flamepaths.
WARNING
The sensor module (“front” half of the detector)
contains no user serviceable components
and should never be opened. The terminal
compartment is the only part of the enclosure that
should be opened by the user in the field.
NOTE
Refer to the X33AF Safety Manual (116-P-X33AF-
SIL2/CGB) for specific requirements and
recommendations applicable to the proper
installation, operation, and maintenance of all SIL-
Certified X33AF flame detectors.
To maintain maximum sensitivity and false alarm
resistance, the viewing windows of the X33AF must be
kept relatively clean . Refer to the procedure below for
cleaning instructions .
CLEANING PROCEDURE
CAUTION
Disable any extinguishing equipment that is
connected to the unit to prevent unwanted
actuation.
To clean the windows and
oi
plate, use Autronicas window
cleaner (part number 116-001680-001) and a soft cloth,
cotton swab or tissue and refer to the following procedure .
1. Disable any extinguishing equipment that is
connected to the unit.
2 . Since the X33AF is less affected by contamination
than other detectors, removal of the oi plate is needed
only under extreme conditions . In addition, it is not
necessary to achieve perfect cleanliness, because
IR is not significantly absorbed by slight films of oil
and/or salt . If a fault condition is still indicated after
cleaning, remove and clean the oi Plate Removal and
Replacement procedure .
3 . In all environments, clean all three viewing windows
and reflector surfaces thoroughly . Use a cotton
swab and Autonicas window cleaning solution . Use
Isopropyl alcohol for contaminations that Autronicas
window cleaning solution can not remove .
IMPORTANT
When used in extreme environments, the reflective
surface of the detector
oi
plate may eventually
deteriorate, resulting in reoccurring
oi
faults and
the need for
oi
plate replacement.

PLATE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
1 . Disable any extinguishing equipment that is connected
to the unit .
2 . Loosen the two captive screws, then grasp the

plate by the visor and remove it from the detector .
See Figure 17 .
3 . Install the new (or cleaned)
oi
plate .
NOTE
When installing the stainless steel plate, ensure
that the gasket is present and correctly seated to
prevent moisture or contaminants from penetrating

oi
system . Refer to the
Inspector Monitor manual (95-8581) for instructions
regarding
oi
