To fully comply with EMC directive and protect against interference
caused by RFI and EMI, the cable to the detector must be shielded
and the detector must be grounded. The shield should be grounded
at the detector end.
Spacing and Location
: The number of detectors and their locations in
the protected area are determined by:
Size of the protected area
Sensitivity of the detectors
Obstructed lines of sight
Cone of view of the detectors
Environment
:
Dust, snow or rain can reduce the detectors sensitivity and require
more maintenance activities.
The presence of high intensity flickering IR sources may affect
sensitivity.
Aiming the Detector
:
The detector should be aimed toward the center of the detection
zone and have a completely unobstructed view of the protected area.
Whenever possible, the detector face should be tilted down at a 45º
angle to maximize coverage and prevent accumulation of dust and
dirt.
Do not start an installation unless all conceivable considerations
regarding detection location have been taken into account.
Installation should comply with
NFPA 72E or any other local and
International regulations and standards
, as applicable to flame
detectors and installation of Ex approved products.
