SafeFlame Installation and Operation Manual (Publication#: MA-SF200OM) 2. SafeFlame IR3 Introduction 2.1 Overview SafeFlame is a IR3 type flame detector that utilizes a combination of 3 sensors. One of the sensors monitors the spectral band for CO ² emissions. The other two sensors monitor adjacent spectral bands to reduce radiation interference and reduce false alarms. The spectrum for the radiation emitted by a flame measured by the detector is altered by the distance between the detector and the fire.
SafeFlame Installation and Operation Manual (Publication#: MA-SF200OM) 2.2 Principles of Operation 2.2.1 IR3 Flame Detector SafeFlame’s triple IR (IR3) flame detector compares three specific wavelength bands within the IR spectral range of a fire and their ratio to each other. This offers fast response without the fear of typical false alarms. One sensor monitors the 4.4 micrometer range and the other sensors monitor the bands above and below.
SafeFlame Installation and Operation Manual (Publication#: MA-SF200OM) 2.3.2 Detector Sensitivity The detector has two alarm levels: Warning (Pre-Alarm) and Alarm. The detection range for the detector is 200 feet (60 meters) for a standard fire. A standard fire is defined as a 1ft² (0.1m²) n-heptane pan fire. The Warning level is an alarm verification system. Having this option enabled will delay the alarm signal by approximately 5 seconds. 2.3.
SafeFlame Installation and Operation Manual (Publication#: MA-SF200OM) 2.3.4 False Alarm Protection and Immunity The detector is immune to a variety of potential false alarm sources. Below is a table showing either the immunity to a radiation source or the distance beyond which the detector is immune to the radiation source.

SafeFlame Installation and Operation Manual (Publication#: MA-SF200OM) 3. Installation 3.1 Guidelines for Installation For optimal detector performance and protection of the hazard, please consider the guidelines for installation: Spacing: The number of flame detectors in the protected area is determined by the size of the area, the Cone of Vision, obstructions, and sensitivity. Aiming: The flame detector should be pointed toward the center of the desired area of protection.

SafeFlame Installation and Operation Manual (Publication#: MA-SF200OM) 3.5 Setting up the Detector The detector has 3 programmable dip-switches (SW1, SW2, and SW3) which can set and change various detector functions. Dip-Switch SW1 SW2 Description Controls and sets Sensitivity, Alarm Delay, and Output Relays Sets detector address, and Baud rate SW3 JP1 Controls other output functions Connect remote reset signal 3.5.
SafeFlame Installation and Operation Manual (Publication#: MA-SF200OM) 3.5.3 Alarm Delay The SafeFlame is equipped with an Alarm delay option, which provides programmable time delays by changing settings. The alarm signal will be activated if the fire still exists after the programmed delay time. But if the fire disappears within the programmed delay time, the detector will return to its standby state. The alarm delay option affects the output relays and the 0-20mA.
SafeFlame Installation and Operation Manual (Publication#: MA-SF200OM) Fault Relay Output This is a feature to enable the fault relay and energize (N.C.) the relay in the standby state. The setting can be disabled to save power. SW1 Switch Setting Function SW1-8 Off Fault relay Enable (default) Fault relay Disabled ON 0-20mA Current Relay Output This is a feature to enable the 0-20mA current output signal. This can be disabled to save power.
SafeFlame Installation and Operation Manual (Publication#: MA-SF200OM) Setting Communication Baud Rate The detector can change the RS-485 communication baud rate. If communication is not available (SW3-2 is OFF), the baud rate setting is not applicable. After changing the baud rate, the detector must be reset before using the communication. SW2 Switch Setting SW2-7 Off SW2-8 Off ON Off Off ON ON ON Function 9600 bps (default) 4800 bps 19200 bps 38400 bps 4. Operating and Testing the Detector 4.
