Product Features The iScan3 flame scanner is designed to detect flame from fossil fuels such as natural gas, refinery gas, waste gas, fuel oils, biomass and coals. The iScan3 consists of an integrated viewing head and signal processor. No secondary signal processor or amplifier is required.
Page 7
LED STATUS INDICATORS; “Ring of Light”: The iScan3 is equipped with a highly visible LED status indicator ring. This “Ring of Light” communicates the scanner’s operating modes including FLAME SIGNAL STRENGTH, GAIN LEVEL (the amount of signal amplification), and WARNINGS/FAULTS. This ring aids with “sighting” the flame; or in other words: proper aiming of the scanner. This must be done with care to ensure that a good flame signal is present over a range of operating conditions.
Thermal Protection The iScan3 Flame Scanner has redundant safety features for exposure above the maximum temperature rating. The modes of operation are described below: Mode Internal Temperature (T 4-20 Output Setting Indicator Light Setting Relay Operation Normal ≤ 95°C Normal (4-20 mA) Normal Normal Alternate left half yellow 0.5s...

Wiring Instructions All wiring shall be done in accordance with all applicable local and national codes, standards, and ordinances. The scanner has a quick connect cable. This cable does not require a flexible conduit if permitted by local authority. Connections for power, Earth Ground, and Flame Relay (N.O. and Common) are required for all applications. Use of the 4-20 mA outputs, Communications, and connections are “as-required”...

• Les interférences électriques provenant de sources d'allumage haute tension / énergie peuvent nuire au bon fonctionnement du scanner à flamme. Pour minimiser les risques d'interférences électriques avec le fonctionnement du scanner à flamme: • Ne pas installer les câbles d'allumage dans le même conduit que les câbles du scanner •...
Cable Connection Scanner Power/Control Cable Installation The iScan3 system utilizes a quick disconnect connector to connect the power/control cable to the electronics. To connect the power cable to the electronics, first turn the locking nut clockwise by hand until it is seated against the electronics.

Communications Wiring RS-485 Communication with the iScan3 is RS-485 via a USB to RS-485 Converter (PN 3425-057-01). RS-485 is a differential multi-drop network. For iScan3, the network is a half-duplex, 2-wire, echo-off configuration operating at 19200 KBAUD. The maximum allowable number of nodes on a given section of the network is 32 including the USB to RS-485 converter and any repeaters. If more than 32 loads are connected (1 USB converter, 1 RS-485 repeater and 30 iScan3s) then an RS-485 repeater is required between sections to boost the signal.
Remote File Select The Remote File Select feature provides a means for automatically selecting one the configuration files resident within the scanner. iScan3 has a two wire or four wire option to remotely select files. File select configurations are wire fault protected; meaning if any wire combination is broken, i.e.
Sighting the Scanner EXPLOSION HAZARD This Failure to sight the scanner properly can cause an explosion. Equipment must be installed and serviced by qualified personnel in accordance with applicable local and national codes, standards, and ordinances. TENSION DANGEREUSE N'ouvrez pas le capot de l'équipement et ne le réparez pas si une atmosphère explosive peut être présente.
Ring of Light Scanner Status Display Move the scanner while observing the LEDs on the back of the scanner. The left LEDs will turn red and light up just 1 bar [A6] when no flame is detected, when running under auto gain mode, the right LEDs will show purple color and the bar number will increase until it reaches to half ring.
Maintenance The scanner is a rugged, high temperature device, and contains no moving parts. NEVER open the scanner housing. Doing so may damage the scanner and will void the warranty. N'ouvrez JAMAIS le boîtier du scanner. Cela pourrait endommager le scanner et annuler la garantie Cleaning the Lens The only maintenance that may be required is periodic cleaning of the outside of the quartz glass lens.
Ne retirez pas l’objectif du boîtier du scanner. Cela pourrait endommager le scanner et annuler la garantie Special, “X”, Conditions of Use • The equipment should only be used in an area that has low risk of impact. • The equipment should be used in area that is free from falling debris. •...
