Product Overview

The Model FS20X™ Detector senses the Ultraviolet and
WideBand IR™ radiant energy of blackbody particulate and
molecular emissions generated by both hydrocarbon and non-
hydrocarbon flames and fires. The WideBand spectral radiant
energy wavelengths sensed by the Quad (4) sensors span
approximately 0.185 to 0.26 microns and 0.4 microns to 3.5
microns for the FS20X Detector.
The Model FS20X Multi-Spectrum Fire and Flame Detector is
designed and Factory Mutual approved for use in Class I,
Division 1 and 2, Class II and Class III; AEX d/Ex d IIC, and
ATEX/IECEx Ex db IIC, Ex tb IIIC Hazardous Locations (see
Figure 1-1).
The FS20X Detector is available in copper-free Aluminum or
in 316 Stainless Steel enclosure. The FS20X Detector
electro-optical electronics module (puck) is enclosed in a
replaceable black, hard anodized aluminum puck that
provides superior ruggedness, handling, ease of installation,
and protection against EMI/RFI.
FS20X Detector Field Connectors
The field connections feature two (2) connector choices for the installer:
1. A removable ten (10) pin screw terminal connector (J2) for hardwired relay applications.
2. A removable six (6) pin screw terminal connector (J1) for analog output or RS-485 Digital
Communication applications.
The removable connectors provide quicker installation and allows the Detector enclosure to be installed prior
to the Detector Module (puck).
Field Selectable Configuration Switches
1. The eight (8) pin DIP switch (SW2) is used to select the
Detector's Sensitivity and Relay Options.
2. The ten (10) pin DIP switch (SW1) is used for:

Selecting a unique digital address (128 choices).

Factory Use
3. The ten (10) position Rotary switch allows selection of
the analog and digital communication protocol.
