IR FLAME DETECTOR RIV-601P/F General notions At higher temperature a shorter wavelength is generated and viceversa. The IR flame detector sees very well this IR radiation but is The IR flame detector model RIV-601P/F is an electronic optical fire near blind to the visible light. detector device that responds immediately to the thermal infrared Furthermore the thermal infrared radiation passes through the smoke, radiation emitted by fire, and is tuned to the pulse frequency of the...
IR FLAME DETECTOR RIV-601P/F DESCRIPTION It is equipped with the “teletest” device for remote monitoring of detector. The IR flame detector model RIV-601P/F is an electronic optical fire This device simulates a flame inside the detector so as to stimulate a detecting device which responds immediately to the thermal infrared sensor response like to a real fire.

RIV-601P/F IR flame detector operation The RIV-601P/F infrared Flame Detector turns on into the alarm state The detector field of view is a 90° cone, starting at the optical window after a pre-set delay time (waiting time) from the moment a flame is centre.
RIV-601P/F IR flame detector applications Mounting information For example, from a height of 10 m a floor area of 14x14m can be The waterproof model RIV-601P/F can be installed without any controlled. bracket by means of four screws. This sort of installation uses the full detector field of view, that is the The explosion-proof model RIV-601P/FA is made by mounting the best one.
RIV-601P/F IR flame detector applications The smallest detectable flame size is 20 cm on the centre (2% - Vertical application with PARTIAL area coverage of 10m distance) and 28cm on the border (2% of 14m When ceiling is low or not high enough for full coverage, the distance).
RIV-601P/F IR flame detector applications Also, the diagonal mounting makes the detector seeing other strong - Diagonal application with FULL area coverage infrared lights entering into its field of view, like lamps and sun, which When ceiling is too low for full area coverage with centre vertical can cause false alarms.
RIV-601P/F IR flame detector applications This type of application is the double of the “A” type described above, - Vertical application of two detectors with FULL area coverage and has a better performance than the “C” type of the previous page. When a room cannot be under the field of view of one detector, then In the case of a room 10 m high with a floor of 14x28 m the smallest the room can be divided into two detection areas, each of them being...
RIV-601P/F IR flame detector applications In the second case the room is the same but the two detectors are - Diagonal application of two detectors with FULL area coverage mounted in a slightly different position. The disadvantages of the diagonal mounting must be considered In this example of application two detectors are mounted diagonally before deciding for this solution.
RIV-601P/F IR flame detector applications In the case sensitivity is too high for the application, one or more - Vertical application over pole with FULL area coverage attenuation optical filter can be added on the front of the optical For outdoor applications the rules to be followed are the same as the window.

RIV-601P/F IR flame detector electrical connections Output: The electrical connections are done on 7-way screw type terminal block, plug in type. • One static output on the “S” terminal from an NPN collector. Each terminal function is printed on the top of every terminal and on Normally it is high (+24V).

RIV-601P/F IR flame detector automatic remote fault warning Electrical connections to a standard fire alarm panel Both the normally open (C-L) and the normally closed (C-R) relay contacts are used. The normally open contact (C-L) is used for the fire alarm and provides the line current determined from the R1 and R2 resistors parallel.
