Product Overview Product Overview Model 40/40UFL provides a combination of UV and IR sensors, where the IR sensor operates at a wavelength of 2.5–3.0µm. It can detect hydrocarbon-based fuel and gas fires, hydroxyl and hydrogen fires, as well as metal and inorganic fires with ultrafast ability to detect fire or an explosion in less than 20msec.
Required approval The configuration detail is included in the product part number on the product label and takes the form: 40/40UFL-XXXXX, where XXXXX defines the model according to the above requirements. To modify the default or pre-ordered configuration and perform maintenance tasks, please refer to the HART Protocol TM777030, the RS-485 Manual TM 777050 or TM777070.
Wiring option 1 is the default. The mA “Sink” output can be altered to “Source” type, with a link between terminals 1 and 8. No other wiring options can be changed onsite. Product number 40/40UFL-321SC has the following options: • Wiring Option: 3 (Power, Analog Output, RS-485, 0–20mA [Source] with the HART protocol, Fault Relay [N.O.], Alarm Relay [N.O., N.C.])
2.3.1 Sensing Elements The IR sensor in Models 40/40UFL is sensitive to radiation over the range of 2.5– 3.0 microns where the H emission has a unique spectral peak that enables detection of hydrocarbon fires, gas fires, hydroxyl, and hydrogen fires, as well as metal and inorganic fires.
2.3.3 Heated Optics The SharpEye 40/40 Flame Detector uses heated optics. The heater increases the temperature of the optical surface by 5–8°F / ~3–5°C above the ambient temperature to improve performance in ice, condensation, and snow conditions.
Product Overview 2.3.5 RS-485 Modbus For more advanced communications, the 40/40UFL detector has an RS-485 Modbus-compatible output that provides data communication from a network (up to 247 detectors) to a host computer or universal controller for central monitoring. This feature allows for reduced installation costs, easy maintenance, and local or remote diagnostic tools.

Accessories Air Shield The air shield (P/N 777650) is suitable for use with the SharpEye 40/40 Series Optical Flame Detector 40/40UFL, for both the aluminum and st.st. enclosures. Optical flame detectors are often used in highly polluted or dirty areas that force maintenance personnel to access the detector frequently in order to clean its optical window.
The setup parameters must be verified (as described in Using the 0–20mA Interface for Alerting on page 79; and in Using the Alarm Relay Contact for Alerting on page 80). The function of the 40/40 Flame Detector (flame detection, function of the 0–20mA interface, and relay functions) must be checked completely.
