Intended Use
Intended Use
The Draeger Flame Detector FD10 range is intended to monitor and trigger the
necessary control actions upon the detection of
fi
re or
fl
ame in a given environment
and is intended to be used in areas which may contain potential explosive
atmospheres.
Explosion protection approvals
The explosion-protection approvals are valid for use of the device in gas/vapour-
air mixture of combustible gases and vapours under atmospheric conditions. The
explosion-protection approvals are not valid for use in oxygen enriched atmospheres.
In case of unauthorised opening of the enclosure, the explosion-protection approval
is voided.
NOTE: The Draeger Flame detectors 1300, 1700, and 2300 are certi
fi
ed
under the designation FD10. All certi
fi
cates will refer to the FD10.
Installing
Only trained service personnel (e.g. Draeger Safety service personnel) may install
the
fl
ame detector under observation of the regulations applicable at the respective
location.
Selecting the Detector Position & Mechanical Installation
To ensure optimum performance and to minimise down time and false alarms,
consideration to the location and position of the
fl
ame detector must be observed.
The following points should be considered in the completion of this task:
- A clear view of the area to be protected
- Mounting of detectors on vibration free structures to provide best
performance.
- Adequate number of detectors to cover the area to be protected.
- Detectors to be positioned so that they operate within their recommended
operating distance.
- Type of
fi
re hazard presented.
- Further in
fl
uences which that could absorb wavelengths i.e. certain gases,
heavy rain and dense fog.
- The angle at which the sensor is positioned, this should always be downward
and at a minimum of 10° - 20°.
The device does not contain any parts that can be serviced by the user.
Mounting the unit
When mounting the bracket, it should be secured to a structure which is free from
vibration, and capable of holding the detector and bracket. In addition it is essential
that all of the factors above are considered.
