1.1 Overview
The SharpEye 40/40I is a flame detector that utilizes improved IR3
technology to provide state-of-the-art fire protection. The 40/40I uses
patented digital signal processing to analyze the spectral and dynamic
characteristics of the measured infrared radiation, to identify fire events
with exceptional sensitivity and extreme immunity to false alarms.
All 40/40 series detectors include a heated optical window for improved
performance in icing, snow and condensation conditions.
Detection performance can be easily adapted to all environments,
applications and requirements, by changing the detector‟s configuration
parameters. Adjusting these parameters, as well and performing other
maintenance and monitoring tasks, is possible by means of RS485-based
Modbus communication or HART communication (in models with 0-20mA
output).
The detector enclosure is ATEX certified EExd flameproof with an integral,
segregated, rear, EExe terminal compartment (avoiding exposure of the
sensors and electronics to surrounding environment). Hence the combined
approval EExde IIB + H2 T5 (75°C) or T4 (85°C).
The SharpEye 40/40 detectors are designed to operate as a stand-alone unit
directly connected to an alarm system or an automatic fire extinguishing
system. The detector can also be a part of a more complex system, where
many detectors and other devices are integrated through a common control
unit.

1.4 Principles of Operation

This section describes the 40/40I principles of operation and includes:
 Hydrocarbon Fire Detection, page 4
 Heated Optics, page 5
 HART Protocol, page 5
 RS-485 Modbus, page 6
 Product Certification, page 6
1.4.1 Hydrocarbon Fire Detection

The SharpEye 40/40I detector is designed to detect flames in which carbon
dioxide (CO2) is produced in the combustion process. These include all
hydrocarbon flames, as well as other types of flames and burning materials
such as wood or alcohol.
The detector‟s principle of operation is based on patented IR3 technology.
This technology identifies the unique spectral signature that hot CO 2 has in
the infrared (IR), namely a peak of the intensity at wavelengths 4.2 to 4.7µ.
4 Features and Benefits

The original IR3 technique (such as implemented in the SharpEye 20/20I

flame detector) utilizes three infrared sensors, each sensitive to its own
wavelength range. The first sensor is sensitive to wavelengths within the
emission peak of hot CO2. The other two sensors are sensitive to
wavelengths above and below this peak. In the event of fire, the signal
measured in the first sensor is significantly higher than those measured in
the other two sensors. In order to issue a fire alarm, the detector requires
that this occurs, as well as other conditions (for example, radiation is
flickering in frequencies typical of flames). If exposed to non-fire radiation
sources, the specific conditions required does not occur, and the detector
does not react.
The SharpEye 40/40I further includes an additional IR sensor, sensitive to a
different band within the emission peak of hot CO2. The signal of this sensor
is compared to those of the other three. This increases sensitivity for some
types of flames. (For example, gas flames).
1.4.2 Heated Optics

The SharpEye 40/40 Flame Detectors use heated optics. The heater
increases the temperature of the optical surface by 5-8°F (~3-5°C) above
the ambient temperature to improve performance in icing, condensation and
snow conditions.
The heated optics can be set to one of the following:
 Not operated
 On continuously
 Automatic, per temperature change (default): you can define the start
temperature below which the window is heated. (The default is 68°F
(20°C).) This temperature can be defined between 32°F (0°C) to 122°F
(50°C). The heating stops when the temperature is 27°F (15°C) above
the start temperature.
For more information, see Configuring your Detector on page 29.
1.4.3 HART Protocol

The 40/40 Flame Detectors use the HART Protocol.
HART Communication is a bi-directional industrial field communication
protocol used to communicate between intelligent field instruments and host
systems. HART is the global standard for smart process instrumentation and
the majority of smart field devices installed in plants worldwide are HART-
enabled.
HART technology is easy to use and very reliable.
Through the HART connection, you are able to perform:
 Detector set-up
 Detector troubleshooting
 Detector health and status
For more details, refer to the HART Manual TM 777030.
Principles of Operation 5
1.4.4 RS-485 Modbus

For more advanced communications, the 40/40 detector has an RS 485
Modbus-compatible output that provides data communication from a
network (up to 247 detectors) to a host computer or universal controller for
central monitoring. This feature allows for reduced installation costs, easy
maintenance and local or remote diagnostic tools.

1.5.6 Detector Status

The possible detector function statuses are listed in Table 8. A more detailed
fault analysis can be seen via HART or RS485.
Table 8: Detector Status
Status Description
Normal Normal operation.
BIT Built-In-Test being performed.
Warning Fire detected - changed to Warning (pre-alarm state).
Alarm Fire detected - changed to Fire Alarm state.
Latched Alarm The alarm outputs remain latched on following detection
(Optional) of a fire that has already been extinguished.
BIT Fault A fault is detected during BIT sequence or other electric
failure. The detector will continue to detect for fire.
Fault A fault is detected when the power supply is too low or
due to a software fault or electrical failure. The detector
will NOT detect fire in this condition.
In each state, the detector activates different outputs, as specified in

Table 9.

Notes:
1 The alarm outputs are activated while alarm conditions exist and will
stop approximately 5 seconds after the fire is no longer detected.
2 The Alarm state can be optionally latched via programmed function.
(Default is non-latching).
3 The detector will remain in BIT Fault state until it has passed a
successful BIT.
4 The Auxiliary Relay can be activated at the Warning level or Alarm level,
depending on programmed function.
5 The outputs depend on the wiring options.
1.5.6.1 Optional Latching

Alarms are set as non-latching by default. However, the detector includes a
latched alarm output capability, which operates according to the
programmed function.
If selected, upon detection of a fire, the detection signal is latched until a
manual reset is performed (disconnecting the power supply or performing a
manual BIT (see Manual BIT on page 16).
Latching affects the Alarm Relay, 0-20mA output, the Alarm LED (the
Auxiliary Relay will be latched only when the programmable function
Auxiliary Relay is set to YES.
Notes:
 The Auxiliary Relay is available only in Model 40/40I – 4XXXX and 5XXXX
 The 0-20mA is available only in Model 40/40I – 1XXXX, 2XXXX, 3XXXX
1.5.7 Auxiliary Relay as End-of-Line Resistor

The Auxiliary Relay can be used as End-of-Line (EOL) resistance in Model
40/40I-4XXXX, and 5XXXX only. In this case, the Auxiliary Relay is active as
long as the detector is not in Fault state.
1.6 Internal Detector Tests

The detector performs two types of self tests:
 Continuous Feature Test, page 14
 Built-In-Test (BIT), page 15
1.6.1 Continuous Feature Test

During normal operation, the detector tests itself continuously and indicates
a fault if a failure is found. This type of test complies with SIL-2
requirements.
The detector continuously tests:
 Input voltage level
 All internal regulator voltage level
 Voltage level status of sensor and sensor circuitry for noise or
disconnection in the electronic circuitry
 0-20mA level output
 Relays and heater operation
14 Internal Detector Tests

 Processor Watch dog

 Software
 Memory
 Oscillator frequency
Response to Fault Indication
If a failure is found, the detector indicates by:
 Fault relay:
 Opens in wiring option 1, 2, and 4
 Closes in wiring option 3 and 5
 0-20mA: indicates Fault (0mA or 2mA) in wiring option 1, 2, 3
 LED – Yellow flashes (4 Hz)
Correcting the Fault
The fault indications remain until the detector‟s power is removed. The fault
indications return if the fault is still found when power is restored.
1.6.2 Built-In-Test (BIT)

The detector‟s Built-In-Test (BIT) also checks the following:
 Electronics circuitry
 Sensors
 Window cleanliness
The detector can be set to perform the BIT in the following modes:
 Automatically and manually
 Manually only
Note: In Manual BIT, the outputs may also be tested and Control System
„inhibit‟ should be applied if this could initiate other systems.
1.6.2.1 How the BIT Operates

 The detector's status remains unchanged if the result of a BIT is the
same as the current status (NORMAL or BIT Fault)
 the detectors‟ status is changed (from Normal to BIT Fault or vice versa)
if the BIT differs from the current status
Note: In „BIT Fault‟ status the detector can continue to detect a fire.
Internal Detector Tests 15

1.6.2.2 Automatic BIT

The detector automatically performs a BIT every 15 minutes. A successful
BIT sequence does not activate any indicator.
The results of a successful and unsuccessful BIT are listed in Table 10 and
Table 11.

60 215 65
2.8.2 Alarm Delay

The detector is equipped with an Alarm Delay option, which provides
programmable time delays with settings at:
 Antiflare* (default)
*The Antiflare mode is selected to prevent false alarms in locations
where fast flares may be present. The Time Delay for fire alarms in this
mode ranges from 2.5 to 15 seconds (usually, less than 10 seconds).
Other delays settings are available:
0, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 seconds
When an Alarm (Detection) level condition occurs, the detector delays the
execution of the Alarm outputs by the specified period of time. The detector
then evaluates the condition for 3 seconds. If the Alarm level is still present,
the Alarm outputs are activated. If this condition no longer exists, the
detector returns to its standby state.
The Alarm delay option affects the output relays and the 0-20mA. The LEDs
and outputs indicate warning levels during the delay time only if the fire
condition exists.
2.8.3 Address Set-up

The detector provides up to 247 addresses that can be changed with RS485
communication link or HART Protocol.

1 Verify that the detector is Normal Mode.
2 Initiate Manual BIT. The results of successful and unsuccessful manual
BITs are detailed in Table 12 and Table 13.
3.3.3 Testing with Fire Simulator Model 20/20-310

The Fire Simulator Model 20/20-310 can be used to simulate exposure of
the detector to a real fire condition. The detector is exposed to radiation at
the required detection level. As a result, the detector will generate a Fire
Alarm signal. See Long Range IR3 Fire Simulator on page 59 for more
information.
Important: If the detector is exposed to a fire simulator, the Alarm
and Accessory Relays and 4-20mA are activated during the
simulation. Therefore, automatic extinguishing systems or any
external devices, which may be activated during this process, must
be disconnected.
➣ To perform Fire Simulator Test:

1 Power up the system and wait up to 60 seconds for the detector to turn
to a normal state. The Power LED turns on.
