Fireye SureFire II HTSS Instruction Manual

1. INTRODUCTION
This Instruction Manual contains a description of the type HTSS High Tension Spark and Sense Igniter
construction, operation principle and the instructions for installation, start-up and service, including the industrial
health & safety recommendations.
The type HTSS igniter is a reliable source of ignition for natural and forced draught gas igniters and
small capacity gas burners. It is designed to ignite a mixture of various types of gaseous fuels with air.
Typical fuel gases for HTSS igniter are: Natural gas, Propane or LPG gases. In case of or Refinery off gases, especially
including high hydrogen, sulphur compounds like hydrogen sulphide and other chemicals increasing the corrosion
rate, and in case of other waste gases, like low calorific value gas or wet and dirty gas consult
After ignition it can also be used as a continuous flame sensing device serving as a "Spark and Sense" Igniter.
The igniter is made of high quality materials, and it is rigorously checked and tested prior to dispatch.
Familiarization with the following instructions will reduce the possibility of equipment failure to a minimum and
ensure safe operation.
2. OPERATION PRINCIPLE AND TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
This HTI (High Tension Igniter) igniter
igniters. Both safe and hazardous area Zone 1 HTI versions are available.
The HTSS igniter can be used in gas pilots (igniters) which can accept a 16 mm diameter rod, with coaxial
electrode arrangement e.g. with the
FD gas pilots offered by
The igniter can be configured as igniter only or as igniter with "Spark & Sense" mode in following options:
Operation as igniter only, necessary parts:
When ignition transformer is powered, the high voltage 7,500V to 10,000V, between the central electrode
and outer tube at the igniter rod tip produces a continuous electric arc of rod of energy allowing the
ignition of air-gas mixture on gas pilots.
It can be used as "igniter only" in two options:
- without Power Pack, scope is: one of High Tension Rods P/N: HTSS-xxx-J, HTSS-xxx-CEX or
HTSS-xxx-J-CEX (each including HV cable) and Ignition Transformer P/N TX-230/110-8000 (see p. 3).
HTSS rods and tips are designed to work with this ignition transformer. Its output parameters are: 15 mA at
8000 V. Transformer should be mounted in a box or cabinet out of igniter scope of delivery (see Fig. 1 and 3
for Safe or Hazardous Area).
The ignition is activated by applying supply voltage to ignition transformer terminals (see p. 1).
- with Power Pack, scope is: one of High Tension Rods P/N: HTSS-xxx-J, HTSS-xxx-CEX or HTSS-xxx-
J-CEX (each including HV cable) and Power Pack P/N: HTSS-PP-230/110 or HTSS-PP-230/110-CEX
without Fireye MBCE-110/230FR flame module (see Fig. 2 or 4, 5 for Safe or Hazardous Area).
