A January2005 3.3 False Alarms Prevention The detector will not provide an alarm or a warning signal as a reaction to the radiation sources specified below. Notes: IAD = Immune at Any Distance. All sources are chopped from 0 to 20Hz.
Spectrex Inc. - SharpEyeTM Single IR Flame Detector Manual – TM 20/20R, Rev. A January2005 4. Operation 4.1 Visual Indications Two LED-indications are located in the detector front window: i. Power LED (Yellow) Normal - LED ON BIT failure - LED flashes (4 Hz) ii.
Spectrex Inc. - SharpEyeTM Single IR Flame Detector Manual – TM 20/20R, Rev. A January2005 4.2 Output Signals The detector controls the following outputs: • Alarm relay • Accessory relay • Fault relay • 4-20mA current output • RS-485 communication The detector can be in one of the following states. Normal: BIT: Warning: Alarm: Latched Alarm (Optional) Fault: The detector is functioning normally. The detector performs a Built-In-Test. Fire detected - changed to warning – pre-alarm state.
Spectrex Inc. - SharpEyeTM Single IR Flame Detector Manual – TM 20/20R, Rev. A January2005 4.2.1 Optional latching The detector includes a latched alarm output capability, which operates according to the DIPswitch SW1-1 position. Upon the detection of a fire, the detection signal is latched until manually reset (disconnecting the power supply or performing a manual BIT). 4.2.2 Built-In-Test (BIT) Successful Manual BIT will activate the following outputs according to SW1 switches.

Spectrex Inc. - SharpEyeTM Single IR Flame Detector Manual – TM 20/20R, Rev. A January2005 4.3.2 Address switch (SW2) (Optional): The address switch provides 64 alternative addresses that can be used with the RS-485 communication link. See tables 7 and 8. Table 7: Address Switches SW2 SWITCH Description 1 Address bit 0 (LSB) 2 Address bit 1 3 Address bit 2 4 Address bit 3 5 Address bit 4 6 Address bit 5 (MSB) Legend: 0 = OFF 1 = ON LSB = Least Significant Bit MSB = Most Significant Bit.
Spectrex Inc. - SharpEyeTM Single IR Flame Detector Manual – TM 20/20R, Rev. A January2005 4.3.3 Alarm Delay switch (SW3): The detector is equipped with an Alarm Delay option, which provides programmable time delays of 0 to 30 seconds with eight (8) fixed settings at: 0, anti-flare, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 seconds, using SW3 switches 1-3. See table 10. When an Alarm (Detection) level condition is encountered, the detector delays the execution of the Alarm output relay by the specified period of time.
Spectrex Inc. - SharpEyeTM Single IR Flame Detector Manual – TM 20/20R, Rev. A January2005 ANTI FLARE Anti Flare mode is selected to prevent false alarm in locations where fast flares may be present. The Time delay for fire alarm in this mode is from 2.5 to 15 seconds (mostly less than 10 seconds). Figure 5: Switch Locations 4.4 Built In Test A.
Spectrex Inc. - SharpEyeTM Single IR Flame Detector Manual – TM 20/20R, Rev. A January2005 B. Principles If the result of a BIT is the same as the detector’s current status (NORMAL or FAULT), the detector's status will not change. If the result of a BIT differs from the detector’s current status, then a second BIT is executed after a delay of 0.5 seconds. If the result of the second BIT is the same as the previous BIT (and still differs from the current status), the detectors’ status will be changed.
Spectrex Inc. - SharpEyeTM Single IR Flame Detector Manual – TM 20/20R, Rev. A January2005 D. Automatic & Manual BIT (SW1-3 = ON) Manual Bit Functions as described in Para. 4.4.c. In the case of an unsuccessful BIT all outputs will function as described in para. 4.4.c, but the BIT will be automatically executed every 1-minute. This mode of operation will continue until two consecutive successful BIT's have been encountered. As a result, the detector will resume its normal operation.
