Planning Establish flame detector arrangement 4 Planning In this chapter you will learn how to arrange the flame detector for optimum room monitoring and how you determine the mounting site and appropriate parameter set. Sequence 1. Establish flame detector arrangement [ 2.
Planning Establish flame detector arrangement 4.1.1 Line of sight In order for the flame detector to detect a fire, the fire's infrared radiation must reach the flame detector. The infrared radiation can reach the detector through direct or indirect irradiation. Direct irradiation: Indirect irradiation from reflections on walls, equipment etc.: Direct irradiation is many times higher than indirect irradiation.
Planning Establish flame detector arrangement 4.1.2 Arrangement of several flame detectors If several flame detectors are needed in a room, they must be arranged such that as high a level of monitoring redundancy as possible is present. In other words, some of the monitoring areas of the individual flame detectors should overlap.
Planning Establish flame detector arrangement 4.1.3 Deceptive phenomena When arranging the flame detector, take possible deceptive phenomena into account and take appropriate measures. Deceptive phenomena which may activate the flame detector and trigger a false alarm are listed below. Direct and indirect solar radiation Hot objects, such as hot motors Arc welding Moving parts between the flame detector and a hot object, such as air hoses...

Only an expert is permitted to carry out installation work. Incorrect installation can take safety devices out of operation unbeknown to a layperson. The electrical connection depends on the following factors: Connection to an FDnet/C-NET detector line or collective detector line Use of unshielded cables or shielded cables The general process is described below.
Mounting / Installation Electrical connection 5.3.1 Connection to an addressed detector line The following applies to FDnet/C-NET detector lines: Loops, stubs and T-branches are possible. You may only connect external alarm indicators to one detector. Permissible cables for detectors with more than one external alarm indicator according to the collective connection diagram may be migrated to the FDnet/C-NET without any changes.
Mounting / Installation Electrical connection 5.3.1.2 Use of shielded cables The detector line shielding must be connected through in the detector base with auxiliary terminals DBZ1190-xx. There are two ways of connecting external alarm indicators: LINE LINE LINE LINE LINE LINE Figure 19: Connection diagram for addressed detector line with and without external alarm indicators (with shielded cables)
Mounting / Installation Electrical connection Variant B 1. Connect the positive pole of the external alarm indicator to the positive pole for the external alarm indicator on the detector. 2. Leave the negative pole for the external alarm indicator on the detector unoccupied.
Mounting / Installation Electrical connection Wire-saving cabling NOTICE Cabling for new sites Wire-saving cabling in external alarm indicators is prohibited for new sites. With wire-saving cabling, the external alarm indicator is connected as follows: The external alarm indicator must be connected to the positive and negative poles of at least one detector (A).
