Installation Practices - Honeywell FS24X Installation Manual And Operating Manual

Detector Connections
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 Detector's sensors to normalize to
the environment's 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 Detector's 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. Verify that the external 24 VDC input power is turned
2. Avoid wire splices whenever possible. If wire splices are required, solder and properly insulate them.
Good wiring practices simplify installation, improve reliability, and facilitate maintenance.
3. For applications requiring analog/digital communications, please refer to Section 3.2 of this
Instruction Manual.

Installation Practices

F or installations in a Hazardous Classified Area, consult the National Electric Code Handbook, Articles 500
U
through 517 for the proper installation practices. For locations outside of the United States, observe local
and/or regional regulations.
Model FS24X911-24-5 detectors must be connected to control panels meeting the requirements of either
NFPA 71 or the local authority having jurisdiction.
: The Detector's metal conduit plug by itself cannot make a weather-tight seal. Metal-to-metal
