SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
2.1
Mounting Instructions
Consider the following guidelines when selecting Detector location:
1. As with all flame and fire Detectors, avoid areas that contain radiant energy sources (such as radiant
heaters, high intensity lamps, flare-stacks, etc.) in close proximity to the Detectors field of view.
2. Detectors should not be mounted so that they look up or face the horizon (especially outdoors). Use
a minimum thirty degrees (30) downward angle with the SM4 swivel mount (see Figure 2-1).
3. Make sure the Detector has a clear, unobstructed view of the threat area. Physical obstructions
between a fire and the Detector may cause the fire to be undetected.
4. The Model SM4 is a 316 Stainless Steel Swivel Mount designed for the FSC Detector housing. The
adapter plate, with the two (2) screw holes (facing away), is attached to the base of the Detector (see
Figure 2-1). The mounting plate, with the four (4) screw holes (facing towards), is used for mounting
the SM4 to a solid surface. Each adjustment increment along an axis is calibrated to 10. For single
axis adjustments, the center section need not be installed.
5. Avoid mounting the Detectors in areas where temperatures exceeds the specified operating
temperature range (see Sections 1.2.3 & 1.2.5).
6. Detector Conduit Entries
a) If only one conduit entry is used, correctly install and seal the conduit plug on the unused entry,
in. NPT or 25mm (see Figure 2-2).
b) Install an approved conduit trap or drain, if required to meet hazardous area classifications per
NFPA 70: National Electrical Code, latest revision.

Detector Connections (continued)

ATTENTION: FSX Power-Up After the application of 24 VDC input power or resetting the Detector,
wait a mimimum of (thirty) 30 seconds to allow the Detectors sensors to normalize to
the environments spectral background conditions.
FSX Testing - As with any intelligent flame or fire Detector, please wait a minimum of
thirty (30) seconds between tests (i.e., butane lighter, FSC test lamp, or test fires) to
allow the Detectors sensors to fully normalize to the spectral background conditions.
Changing the Detector Settings To activate changes to the settings using SW1,
SW2 and SW3, reset the Detector by cycling (OFF, then ON) 24 VDC input power.
1. Make sure that the external 24 VDC input power is turned OFF before connecting the Detector.
U
2. Avoid wire splices. However, if wire splices are required, all splices should be soldered and properly
insulated. The use of good wiring practices simplifies installation, improves reliability and facilitates
maintenance.
3. For applications requiring analog/digital communications, please refer to Section 3.2 of this Instruction
Manual.
2.4
Installation Practices
For installations in a Hazardous Classified Area, consult the National Electric Code Handbook, Articles 500
through 517 for the proper installation practices. For locations outside of the United States, observe local
and/or regional regulations.
U
IMPORTANT : The Detectors metal conduit plug by itself cannot make a weather tight seal. Metal-to-metal
does NOT provide protection against the ingress of moisture. It is necessary to obtain an approved material
to apply to the threads in order to maintain the weather-proof integrity and satisfy local/regional regulations.
U
Before completing the installation , check that the Detector is configured correctly for the specific
application. The FSX Detectors Factory Default Settings are:

If the application for the Detector requires different settings, refer to Section 3.2 for detailed descriptions.
U
Before applying 24 VDC power to the Detector, make sure :

U
1. Wire connections are correct (Section 2.3). Each wire must be stripped properly to the correct length,
loose wire strands must be removed and each wire must be securely and firmly screwed clockwise in
the connector.
2. If using conduit, ensure a proper conduit seal, (appropriate for the area classification), has been
installed and all measures to prevent moisture ingress have been taken .
U
3. The FSX Detector is securely mounted and has an unobstructed view of the area of coverage
(Section 2.1).
4. The Detector window is unobstructed and clean.
The Detector is now ready for Power-Up. On Power-Up, the Fault Relay will change status if the Factory

Start-Up and Commissioning

During Start-Up and Commissioning, DISABLE all outputs from the Detector to any control panels or control
devices. As with any flame and fire detector, after the Detector(s) is powered, perform an external Detector
test end to end. Using an external hand-held test lamp ensures that the Detector has a clear unobstructed
view of the threat area and the wiring is correct to the control panel or device.
Note:
Fire Sentry FSX Detectors feature an automatic built-in "through the lens" test that verifies the
cleanliness of its viewing window lens and test its internal electronics and software. As with
any optical fire and flame detector, this does not constitute a fully functional "end to end" test
as these types of internal self-tests only partially check and test the operational readiness of a
detector.
In order to test the full functionality and operational readiness of any fire or flame detector
"end to end", without starting a real fire (which is not permitted in hazardous areas), it is
necessary to test the detector(s) with an external test lamp.
Using a test lamp is the only non-hazardous and safe method to test any flame or fire
detectors sensors, internal electronics and its alarm activation software, viewing window lens
cleanliness, terminal wiring integrity, actual relay activation, and the proper functionality of
any other outputs that are used. Also, since most detectors are installed in a fire alarm
system, this is the only method to test the complete fire alarm system, ensuring all the system
wiring and cabling and system control panel are properly installed.
Additionally, using an external test lamp eliminates the following detector conditions:
1. The fire or flame detector(s)' window lens being covered up (such as paint, paint over
spray, paint masking material, hanging garments, etc.),
2. Improperly positioned and orientated for coverage of the threat area,
3. Partial or full blockage of the detector's line of sight by one or more object(s) (i.e., recently
installed air ducts or pipes, storage boxes, vehicles, etc.) such that the threat area is not
fully protected. Since all optical fire and flame detectors are line-of-sight sensors, they
must be properly positioned and oriented with an unobstructed view of the threat area so
that they can detect flames/fires.
To test the full functionality of a FSX Detector, use the Model TL1055X or TL2055X Test Lamp
in the manner prescribed in this Instruction Manual.
The TL1055X and the TL2055X are the only Test Lamps that will activate the FSX Detectors..
Additionally, do not use these Test Lamps to activate other Fire Sentry Detectors (nor any
other conventional fire and flame detectors). Do not use other Fire Sentry Test Lamps or nonFire Sentry Test Lamps to test the FSX Detectors.

Start-Up and Commissioning (continued)
Remember to disable the outputs, as a full functional test includes activating the ALARM outputs. A Fire
Sentry Test Lamp must be used for this test (Section 4.4). Point the Test Lamp directly at the front of the
Detector (on axis as much as possible, within a distance of about 1 to 25 feet). Activate the Test Lamp by
pressing and holding its pushbutton. While watching the red ALARM LED on the face of the Detector, slowly
move the Test Lamps boresight to ensure the Detector receives its full intensity. ( NOTE: Practicing this
technique may help to optimize testing of the FSX Detectors ). (Sections 3.6 and 4.4). The Detectors
red ALARM LED will illuminate, usually within three (3) to ten (10) seconds. Also, the ALARM Relay outputs
will activate and the 4-20 mA analog output will change to 20 mA (0.6 mA).
U
If the Detector fails to respond within ten (10) seconds, do the following:
1. Wait ten (10) to twenty (20) seconds before performing another test.
2. Check the Distance: verify that the testing distance is between one (1) and twenty-five (25) feet
from the FSX Detector(s).
3. Check Aiming Accuracy: verify that the proper testing technique (as described above) is
followed.

SECTION 3: OPERATION
3.1
Principle of Operation
Fire Sentry Corporations (FSC) multi-spectrum and multi-spectral infrared Fire and Flame Detectors are
sophisticated, state of the art, electro-optical digital radiant energy transducers that sense the wideband
radiant energy emitted by fires combustion processes that include flames molecular emissions and hot
particulate blackbody emissions. Radiant Energy Fire Detectors respond much faster to flames and fires at a
longer distance than other types of conventional photoelectric and ionization smoke and heat detectors
because a fires emitted radiant energy travels at the speed of light. Fast response is critical for detecting
flaming fires in time to successfully activate suppression or activate other fire responses such as closing fire
doors. Seconds can make the difference between suppressing a small fire with little or no damage or having
a disastrous fire that overwhelms a suppression system thereby failing to stop the fire.
Infrared (IR) consists of spectral wavelengths longer than the color red. The IR range for fire detection, which
is invisible to the human eye, is from about 700 nanometers to 7000 nanometers (0.7 to 7.0 microns). Fire
Sentrys FS24X Fire Detectors utilize a NearBand IR portion of the spectrum from approximately 0.7 to 1.1
microns and a WideBand IR portion from approximately 1.1 to 7.0 microns. This allows the FS24X Detectors
to sense over 80% of the total radiant Blackbody Energy emitted by a fire. Fire Sentrys Detectors sense
and measure the radiant energy generated by a fire at the speed of light.
FSX Detectors also utilize an additional spectral region, the Visible Band, that spans from about 400 to 700
nanometers (0.4 to 0.7 microns.) The Visible Band is used to further discriminate against non-fire false alarm
sources. The Model FS24X Detectors also sense the specific WideBand 4.3 IR Triple IR. Sensing these
hydrocarbon wavelengths does not inhibit the Detectors ability to see non-hydrocarbon fires. Built-in
microprocessors use sophisticated Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to accurately distinguish radiant energy
from a real fire and a false alarm source(s). Fire Sentry has developed and refined these complex proprietary
and patented WideBand IR algorithms over the last 30 years. These patented algorithms perform real-time
DSP, and precisely analyze the signals in high-resolution frequency and time domains. This decision making
process involves thousands of real-time calculations every second. Fire Sentry FS24X Detectors use solidstate high speed quantum sensors (not heat sensors such as pyroelectric or thermopile) that all respond to
the fires radiant energy emissions. The quantum sensors convert the rate of photonic energy directly into
analog electrical signals. These analog signals are then converted to high resolution digital bits for real-time
microprocessor analysis. The Detector microprocessors incorporate random access memory (RAM), readonly memory (ROM), and non-volatile flash memory. When the microprocessors determine that a real fire
has been detected, the pre-alarm digital sensor data (FirePic) and the event information are recorded in
flash memory. Depending on the configuration, other actions may include activating one or more status
LEDs, relays, a current loop and sending digital data such as the RS-485 FireBusII, and ModBus. If the
microprocessors determine, based on internal testing and through-the-lens testing, that the Detector is not
operating correctly, it records the Fault data and activates the Fault outputs and the yellow status LED. The
digital data in the Detector can be easily accessed with a PC for later analysis and record keeping using Fire
Sentrys Windows based PC software and FSIM-2 USB Interface Unit.

LED Status Indicators

The Model FS24X Detector uses three (3) separate, bright LEDs to indicate the Detectors status.
The Blue LED blinks (flashes) once every ten (10) seconds to indicate a Normal, safe operational
condition (i.e. no Faults and no Alarms). The Blue LED is OFF when no external 24 VDC input power
is applied to the Detector.
The Red LED turns ON when a fire is Alarmed.
The Yellow LED blinks (flashes) when the window lens is dirty. For all other Fault conditions, the
Yellow LED will turn ON.
3.4
Normal Operation
In Normal operation, the bright Blue LED blinks (flashes) every 10 seconds. See Figure 3-4 for the location
of the Blue LED. Normal Operation is defined as the Detector with 24 VDC applied and no Alarm or Fault
conditions are present. If one of the 4-20 mA options are selected (Table 3-1), the current, sink or source, will
be 4.0 mA (0.06 mA).

3.7
Maintenance
After the FS24X Detector is installed and commissioned, there is little maintenance required. However, a
complete end-to-end test of the entire fire detection system should be performed periodically depending on
the application. Additionally, semi-annual or quarterly testing should be performed, using the correct Fire
Sentry Test Lamp, to ensure the integrity of the entire fire protection system.
In order to ensure the Detector is operating properly at all times, it may be necessary to establish a periodic
cleaning schedule. Some industrial environments may necessitate more frequent cleaning of the Detectors
optical surfaces than others.

Test Lamps
Some manufacturers claim that their detectors do not need remote testing with an external Test Lamp
because it tests itself. Even though Fire Sentry Detectors also perform through the lens self-testing and
tests themselves, Fire Sentry, in compliance with NFPA 72 codes, has developed portable test lamps for
periodical end-to-end testing their Detectors remotely. Some of the most important functions of the remote
test lamp are to ensure the Detectors optical path is not blocked, the Detector is aimed properly at the fire
threat area (that the Detector mounting bracket didnt move or was accidentally bumped by someone), and
the Detectors alarming circuitry and outputs (i.e. relays, 4-to-20 mA, etc.) function properly. Internal Detector
testing and window lens cleanliness testing cannot insure the Detector is aimed properly, that its view of the
fire scene has not been blocked by something such as a newly installed pipe or duct, storage box, parked
vehicle, etc., and its alarm outputs are functioning properly.
For calibrated testing, in compliance with NFPA 72 Codes for flame detectors, as manufacturers of the FSX
product line, our calibrated testing using our FT-2055X Test Lamp is as follows. If the FS24X set at Highest
Sensitivity alarms to a fully charged FT-2055X Test Lamp at a distance between 1 and 25 feet, then the
FS24X is in normal operating condition.
TL1055X is a general purpose NEMA 1 hand held
rechargeable Test Lamp designed for testing the
FS24X Detectors externally. The hand held Test
Lamp (see Figure 4-1) comes with a Universal
Charger (110 VAC and 220 VAC).

Field of View Restrictor

There are some unique and specialized applications that may require a restricted field of view in order to
prevent the Detector from alarming to a known (friendly) fire/flame source (such as a flare stack). The Model
FVR-01 Field-of-View Restrictor is easily modified in the field with a simple hack saw to obtain custom
Detector field-of-views for applications where specific narrow field-of-views are required. The Model FVR-01
Detector accessory has been developed specifically for these unique types of applications.
