VIBRATION AND SHOCK
The FV300 detectors have been designed and tested for vibration and shock and comply with the
requirements of:
EN 54-10, European standard for point flame detectors,
Lloyd’s Register of Shipping (LRS) Test Specification Number 1 (2002),
Det Norske Veritas (DNV) Certification Notes No 2.4 (April 2001) Class A,
Germanischer Lloyd (GL) Rules for Classification and Construction, Test Requirements for
Electrical, Electronic Equipment, Computers and Peripherals (April 2001),
Factory Mutual FMRA 3260, Approval Standard for Radiant Energy-Sensing Fire Detectors for
Automatic Fire Alarm Signalling.
The following maximum levels are applicable:
Operational vibration:
1.24 mm displacement (from 5 Hz to 14.2 Hz)
1.0 g (from 14.2 Hz to 150 Hz)
Operational shock/impact:
20.0ms

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
The FV300 detector is insensitive to normal levels of radio frequency interference. It has been
designed and tested, and complies with the following requirements:
EN 50130-4, the European product family standard for components of fire and
security systems,
VdS 2504 1996-12 (01),
LRS Test Specification Number 1 (2002),
DNV Certification Notes No 2.4 (April 2001), Class A,
GL Rules for Classification and Construction, Test Requirements for Electrical, Electronic
Equipment, Computers and Peripherals (April 2001),
Factory Mutual FMRA 3260, Approval Standard for Radiant Energy-Sensing Fire
Detectors for Automatic Fire Alarm Signalling.
The following maximum levels of interference are applicable:
Radiated radio frequency:
10V/m (from 80MHz to 2GHz)
30V/m (from 415MHz to 466MHz)
30V/m (from 890MHz to 960MHz)
Conducted radio frequency*:
10V/m (from 150kHz to 100MHz)
Fast electrical transient burst:
±
2kV (applied for 5 minutes)
Slow high-energy surge:
±
2.4kV
Electrostatic discharge:
±
8kV (air discharge)
±
6 kV (contact discharge)
*Radio frequency coupled into signalling, d.c. power supply and screen/earthing wires.
The FV300 detector has also been tested for compliance with the radio frequency emission
requirements of EN 61000-6-3 and, hence, meets the European Union EMC Directive 89/336/
EEC. It also complies with the radio frequency emissions requirements of LRS, DNV and GL
Maritime Societies.
