APPLICATION
9
Mechanical:
Rugged two part stainless steel 316L housing sealed to IP66/IP67 for use in harsh
environments.
Choice of gland entry back box with terminal blocks for direct field wire termination or
sealed entry back box fitted with a flying lead to connect to an external EExe junction box.
Optional mounting bracket in 316L stainless steel allows 90° adjustment in both horizontal
and vertical plane and includes angular markings.
Detector ATEX and IECEx certified (‘Flameproof’) by Baseefa.
The FV300 FlameVision series are infrared flame detectors giving the FV300 major benefits over
detectors working in the visible or ultra-violet regions of the spectrum, such as UV detectors or
video flame detectors. These include:
Highly sensitive to flame, thus increasing probability of early detection of hydrocarbon
fires over a longer range.
Much less affected by window contamination from dirt and oil deposit, thus decreasing
maintenance requirements leading to operating cost reduction.
Able to see flames through smoke and through high densities of solvent vapours thus
increasing the probability of early detection of hydrocarbon fires, particularly from heavy
black smoke generating fuels.

POINTS TO NOTE WHEN USING FV300 FlameVision DETECTORS
OR S200 FLAME DETECTORS
The FV300 FlameVision series are a whole new range of flame detectors developed from the
knowledge and experience built up from previous detectors such as the S100 and S200 series.
However, the FV300 series is not a complete replacement for the existing detectors and the
following should be considered:
The FV300 will only be available in Flameproof versions. An IS version will not be
available due to the power consumed, especially by the camera. The S200 range should
continue to be used in these applications.
The FV300 consumes more power than the S200 and needs an external PSU.
The FV300 is smaller than the S200 and does not fit the S100/200 bracket. To replace an
S200 with an FV300 the FV300 bracket will have to be fitted.
FV300 has a discrete 4-20mA level for pre-alarm. It is not variable like the S200.
The FV300 has a consistent range over the field of view and automatically adjusts to the
distance and size of a fire. It does not need adjustable sensitivity as used on the S200.
The FV300 has a clear field of view, there are no blind spots.
The FV300 provides all electrical interfaces (relays, 4-20mA, etc.) on ALL models.
