76-M-6010-02-02 1. Introduction The F-Guard-IR3-H2-HD flame detector will detect hydrogen and other “energy transition” fires quickly allowing actions to be initiated to minimize the extend of the fire. The detector addresses slow growing fires as well as fast eruptions of fire using improved IR3 technology. The detector operates in all weather and light conditions.

3 Configuration options Some functions of the detector can be configured using an RS-485 modem connected to a computer with the “Gastech communicator” software. For details of how to download the software please contact technical support on: via email at info@gastech.com These configuration options are listed in the following table along with their factory default values.
Modbus address 1 – 247 Manual BIT – Alarm Output Test Disabled, Enabled Disabled • Note: Medium, sensitivity setting allows detection of a 32-in Plume hydrogen flame at a distance of 66ft (20m). For more information & technical support: info@gastech.com...
16mA and the red LED will blink in case of a fire condition. A standard fire is defined as a 32-in Plume of H2 fire, with maximum wind speed of 6.5 ft/s (2 m/s). For more information & technical support: info@gastech.com...
NTSC or PAL format, depending on the “Video analog output” setting Modbus Address The detector can communicate with the Gastech 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.
BIT is initiated and the “Manual BIT – Alarm Output Test” is enabled as the Manual BIT will set the 0-20mA terminal to 20mA and close the alarm relay and auxiliary relay if configured. For more information & technical support: info@gastech.com...
76-M-6010-02-02 4 Operation The F-Guard-IR3-H2-HD is a triple-IR flame detector that includes a built-in high-definition video camera module. The video module automatically records video of alarm events and can provide live video of the detection zone to a screen in the control room.
Flame simulators are often used by industry to perform detector testing during installation and periodic end to end testing of a flame detector alarm system. Refer to the F-Guard Flame simulator manual F300V0020 for full instructions. For more information & technical support: info@gastech.com...
