Page 8: Installation
FlameSpec UV-IR User Manual F110V0020.05 2 Installation The detector is intended for use as part of a complex system where many detectors and other devices are integrated with different vendors’ systems and interface communication to a variety of different types and configuration control units and panels including control of instrumentations computers. - Page 9 FlameSpec UV-IR User Manual F110V0020.05 Environment ▪ Environmental conditions including but not limited to dust, snow or rain can reduce the detectors sensitivity and require additional maintenance. Welding ▪ Arc welding should not be performed within 10 ft. (3m) of the detector. It is recommended that the system be inhibited during welding operations in situations where the possibility of a false alarm cannot be tolerated.

Page 15: Configuration Options
FlameSpec UV-IR User Manual F110V0020.05 3 Configuration options Some functions of the detector can be configured using an RS-485 modem connected to a computer with the “FDG communicator” software. These configuration options are listed in the following table along with their factory default values. -
Page 16: Ultra-Fast Detection
3.6 Modbus Address The detector can communicate with the “FGD communicator” software using a Modbus RTU compatible protocol on RS-485. This protocol allows for a network of detectors to be connected, each with a unique Modbus address. The address of the detector can be set to any value in the range 1–247. -

Page 21: Operation
FlameSpec UV-IR User Manual F110V0020.05 5 Operation The FlameSpec-UV-IR is a UV/IR flame detector ready for detecting fire approximately 30 seconds after power up. During this startup time the LED flashes Yellow. If the startup is successful, the indication LED turns to green, the 0-20mA indicates 4mA and the fault relay is closed. -
Page 22: Testing
The BIT process runs automatically at startup and periodically during the operation of the detector. The BIT can also be initiated manually by short circuiting the “Manual BIT” terminal and the “24 VDC (-)“ terminal for one second (see Table 3) or by using the FGD communicator software (connected through RS-485). -
