Product Overview Product Overview The SPECTREX Model 20/20ML UV/IR Flame Detectors are designed to sense the occurrence of fire and flames and subsequently activate an alarm or an extinguishing system, directly or through a control circuit, for maximum fire protection. They use the innovative technology of advanced digital signal processing to analyze the dynamic characteristics of fire.
Product Overview The UV-IR Radiation Flame Detector is a dual spectrum optical detector sensitive to 2 separate ranges of the radiation spectrum, both of which are present in fires. The detector monitors the protected area, by measuring the radiation intensity in it, within 2 frequency ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum, namely the Ultra- Violet (UV) and the Infra-Red (IR).
Performance Performance Detection Sensitivity Detection sensitivity is the maximum distance at which the detector will reliably detect a specific size of fire and a typical type of fuel (standard fire). 3.1.1 Standard Fire A 1ft /0.1m gasoline pan fire with a max. wind speed of 6.5ft/sec / 2m/sec. 3.1.2 Sensitivity Ranges: The detector has 2 user selectable sensitivity ranges.
Performance 3.1.3 Other Fuels The detector will react to other types of fires as follows: • Pan fire size: 1ft /0.1m • Maximum wind speed: 6.5ft/sec / 2m/sec • Maximum response time: 10 sec Table 1: Response Sensitivity Ranges for Other Fuels Max.

Warning Fire detected – fire alarm state. Alarm The alarm outputs are latched due to the detection Latched Alarm of a fire that has already been extinguished.
See Detector Default Setup on page 26 for default factory settings. The 20/20ML incorporates several functions that can be set by the customer using SPECTREX Host software, which will be supplied for each detector shipment. The Host software enables you to change functions, as described in Detector’s Various Functions on page 25.

Installation Instructions Installation Instructions Scope The SharpEye Model 20/20ML is a self-contained optical flame detector designed to operate as a stand-alone unit, directly connected to alarm systems or to automatic fire extinguishing systems. The detector can be part of a more complex system where many detectors and other devices are integrated through a common control unit.
Installation Instructions 6.2.1.3 Environment • Dust, snow, or rain can reduce the detector’s sensitivity and require more maintenance activities. • The presence of high intensity flickering of IR sources may affect sensitivity. Preparation for Installation Installation should comply with local codes or NFPA as applicable to flame detectors.
Installation Instructions 6.4.2 Tilt Installation For tilt installation, see Figure 6 and Figure 7. Place the tilt mount (Item 1) in its designated location and secure it with 3 fasteners through 3 holes of dia. 5.2mm. Note: Skip this step if the tilt mount is already installed. Also, detector removal does not require tilt mount removal for maintenance purposes.
Installation Instructions Detector Mounting These detectors are not approved for location in hazardous classified areas. Choose the wiring configuration according to Appendix A: on page 47. Connect the wire to the required PIN on the connector or choose the required color on the cable, according to your wiring diagram.
The detector is supplied with a default function setup (see Table 7). The function setup can be reprogrammed by the user through RS-485 using a PC with SPECTREX host software or through use of a handheld unit. Refer to TM784050 for instructions.
Operating Instructions Operating Instructions Scope The following instructions are designed to obtain optimal performance from the detector over its lifecycle. Power-Up Turn on the detector and wait approximately 60 seconds for the detector’s automatic self-test. Note: Turning on the detector initiates the following sequence: The LED flashes (4Hz) yellow •...
Reset only when the optional latching alarm has been selected. Functional Testing Following is a testing procedure for proper functioning of the detector. The detector can be tested using the manual Built-in-Test or the SPECTREX Flame Simulator FS-1200. 7.4.1 Manual BIT Test Momentarily connecting Pin no.
Normal state and the LED to flash (1Hz) green. If the detector is on, skip this step. Aim the SPECTREX Flame Simulator Model FS1200 at the detector’s target point (see Figure 15), in a way that the radiation emitted by it is facing directly towards the detector.
Maintenance Instructions Maintenance Instructions Scope This chapter deals with preventive maintenance, describes possible faults in detector operation, and indicates corrective measures. Ignoring these instructions may cause problems with the detector and may invalidate the warranty. Whenever a unit requires service, please contact the manufacturer or its authorized distributor for assistance.
Maintenance Instructions Maintenance Records It is recommended to record maintenance operations performed on a detector in a system logbook. The record should include information that identifies the unit, the installation date, contractor, and entries for every maintenance operation performed including the description of the operation, date, and personnel ID. If a unit is sent to the manufacturer or distributor for service, a copy of the maintenance records should accompany it.
Typical Wiring Configurations Figure 9: Cable Interface Option RS-485 Communications Network Using the RS-485 network capability of the IR detector and control software, it is possible to connect up to 32 detectors in an addressable system with 4 wires only (2 for power and 2 for communications).
Typical Wiring Configurations Figure 12: 4–20mA Wiring (Source Option) Notes: The detectors are factory set to isolated 4-20mA-sink version. • To work at non-isolated 4–20mA source version, connect Pin 3 • (blue wire) to Pin 1 (red wire). This can be done on the mating connector or in the junction box in the cable option.
