Principles of Operation Applications The SafEye Xenon system may be used to monitor flammable gas concentration in various applications, such as: Petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and other chemical storage and production areas Flammable and toxic chemical storage sites, and hazardous waste disposal areas ...
Principles of Operation 2.3.2 Spectral Finger Print Each hazardous material is detected at a specific wavelength selected according to its specific spectral absorption or “finger print.” There are 3 IR sensors: 2 signals and 1 reference. The detection process involves 2 separate filters, one transmitting radiation that is absorbed by a particular gas, and one that is not sensitive to it.
Actual selections should be made by the user in consultation with experts to provide for safety requirements. However, for special cases where none of the 4 calibrations are appropriate, SPECTREX, through its local agents, can advise how to calibrate a SafEye Detector to any specific gas.
Principles of Operation 2.3.8 Heated Optics SafEye Xenon includes heated optics for the detector and source. To improve performance in conditions where there is ice, condensation, or snow, the heater increases the temperature of the optical surface by 5–8°F / 3–5°C above the ambient temperature. The heated optics are configured to automatically operate when the change in temperature requires heating (default).
Models and Types 2.3.11 Tilt Mount The newly designed stainless steel tilt mount provides a smaller installation footprint that can conform to limited space constraints, while the sturdy construction maintains alignment even with constant vibration. The improved “X” and “Y” axis worm-gear adjustments provide quick and easy alignment for installation and maintenance procedures.

Models and Types The 700S Series has 3 wiring options: Option 1: Power, alarm relay, fault relay, 0–20mA Option 2: Power, alarm relay, fault relay, accessory relay Option 3: Power, alarm relay, RS-485, 0–20mA, RS-485 RTN (default) Note: SIL2 covers only 0–20mA outputs.
Description Description The SafEye is comprised of 2 main units: The Flash Source Unit The Detector Unit Xenon 700S detects gases over an open path transmitted from the flash source to the detector. 2.6.1 Flash Source Unit The flash source unit emits IR radiation pulses at the rate of 2 pulses per second.

Description 2.6.2 Detector Unit The detector receives the transmitted pulsed radiation signals from the flash source. The signals are then amplified and fed into an analog-to-digital signal converter to be processed by the internal microprocessor. When the signals drop below a prescribed level, the internal microprocessor will compensate for them.

Operating Modes In this chapter… Operational Modes page 29 Output Signals page 31 System Setup page 33 Operational Modes The SafEye 700S has 4 operational modes: Normal Mode Maintenance Call Mode (3mA Output) Fault Mode Zero Calibration Mode (1mA Output) 3.1.1 Normal Mode This mode is used for gas detection.
Operational Modes 3.1.2 Maintenance Call Mode (3mA Output) This mode indicates a low signal or low signal ratio that may be caused by a dirty window, misalignment, poor source, or that 1 of the detector’s parameters is at the “limit” value. The detector continues to operate, reading any gas present, but provides a (3mA) pre-warning signal that a maintenance procedure is required.
Output Signals Output Signals The SafEye system provides the following outputs depending upon the wiring option selected (see Models and Types, page 22): Standard 0–20mA Current Output Dry Contact Relays RS-485 Interface 3.2.1 Standard 0–20mA Current Output The 0–20mA output can provide the detector status measurement in one of the following ways: ...
