Fault relay is normally energized to provide fail safe output and deenergizes on detection of fault. Thus, fault relays contacts are in closed state until any fault is detected. The IDDX amplifier checks for broken wire or disconnected IDD detector head or loss of 15 VDC power to detector and triggers fault alarm when such condition persist.

SECTION 3 SETUP AND CONFIGURATION The purpose of this section is to ensure that the IDDX Flame Amplifier is properly setup and configured, using recommended Forney practices. The amplifier tuning mode can be reached using either the handheld Termiflex/SmartDisplay® or the Forney Terminal Emulator Software (TES) installed on a laptop computer.
• The IDDX Flame Amplifier allows a maximum of 10 minutes of use while in the tuning loop before a time-out will occur. At a time-out, the tuning loop is exited and the system returns to active operation, any unsaved changes that were entered will be lost.
