VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis System Configuration The following diagram shows the overall configuration of VIS-IR that can be connected to the laptop and Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) for simultaneous configuration and monitoring. Figure 1: Basic System Configuration...
The detector must be located and installed so that its Field of View (FOV), the distance to the target, is • per the ‘theoretical spot size ratio’ calculation. Use the user-friendly spreadsheet “36224 – Xtralis VIS-IR Theoretical Spot Size Ratio Calculator” for quick calculations and results.
Xtralis FOV and Theoretical Spot Size Calculation The Spreadsheet “36224 – Xtralis VIS-IR Theoretical Spot Size Ratio Calculator” is a user-friendly tool to determine lens, distance and minimum detection size at a given distance. The sheet allows to calculate according to the 5x5 pixel rule (CNPP approved installations) or the 3x3 pixel rule per the Manufacturer’s guidance.
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Installation The detector comes with a pre-fitted junction box. It would be preferable to mount the junction box prior to installing the detector. Figure 5: Wall Mounted FTD The detector can be wall mounted as explained below:...

VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Figure 6: Screw the Junction Box Perform field wiring as per section 5.2, Bring in the detector and connect the wires and then screw the detector housing to the junction box, Figure 7: Screw the Detector Housing to the Junction Box Power up the device after the connection to the router is complete, and ensure the router is powered up for camera to acquire IP.
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Adjusting Camera Position If any adjustments are required for the camera positioning, loosen the screws, adjust the position and then tighten the screws using Torx T10. Figure 8: Adjust Camera Position Wiring The junction box can be pre-mounted and field wiring can be done by an electrical contractor prior to the detector installation and commissioning.
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Figure 10: Wiring Diagram Power There are two sets of power terminals on the junction box. Connect a 24 VDC power supply which is compliant with local fire protection codes and standards to the PWR IN socket, and if required loop out to another detector via the PWR OUT socket.
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Inputs There are two inputs into the detector that can be used to reset and trigger a fault due to air purge fault. A voltage input between 5V and 30V signals RESET ON/Air Purge Fault ON. Less than 2V signals RESET OFF/Air Purge Fault OFF.
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Remote LEDs There is a provision to connect remote LEDs (if available) to the detector using the socket in junction box. The wiring diagram is shown below: Figure 12: Remote LEDs Connection to Detector Using Socket in Junction Box SD Card Installation The detector can use an optional micro-SD card to save alarm information.

To check the proper insertion of the SD Card, follow the below steps: Download Putty which is a free and open-source terminal emulator from the internet and install it on the same PC where the VIS-IR Software Management (ViSM) tool is installed, Open Putty,...
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Insert another command df -h and press Enter, it will be displayed as shown below above the Red line: Figure 18: ViSM - Check Proper Insertion of SD Card The above example shows that the SD Card is properly inserted and activated.
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Software Installation The ViSM software provides real time temperature information of all monitored areas, giving alarms, pre- alarms and fault notifications in every created area in the software. Once an alarm or fault is detected, it will generate a relay output which can activate any fire protection device connected to the FTD system.
Software Configuration Xtralis ViSM can be used to configure and monitor an installation (up to 8 FTD) in real time. It is easy-to-use and has been designed to provide operator complete control. The software allows to set the detection ROI, different detection area settings (spot, line, polygons, etc.), pre-alarm and alarm levels, color scheme selection,...

VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Figure 25: Detector List Once a detector is selected, its configuration page appears where you can change the device name, which default value is the device’s IP address. You can also select whether you need IR or Visual, as shown below: Figure 26: Detector Configuration You can view the detector’s details under the Identification tab, without the ability to apply changes.
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Figure 27: Detector Identification To see the live IR/visual image, click Accept then click the Play button. If you need to see both IR & visual image, you need to add the same detector twice.
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Emissivity: enter the average emissivity of the FOV. • Note! You can define the emissivity for each ROI in the Region definition. Transmissivity: typically, it should be left to 1.00. • Reflected Ambient Temperature: enter the average temperature of objects in the FOV.
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Once these parameters are selected, the next step is to introduce the region in the Detector window using the Edit Shape section. Click the Edit icon to start the edition, and when it is finished click End.
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis Alarms Configuration 8.5.1 Adding New Alarm or Pre-Alarm Alarms or pre-alarms for temperature analysis can be defined, edited and deleted through the Alarms menu. To create a new alarm, click the icon (Register new alarm, +).
VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis The options below can be all active at the same time for each of the ROI. Range Temperature: in this option the alarm notification is triggered when the indicated value is reached at the range (upper or lower alarm) during the indicated time. Both alarms, maximum and minimum, can be set.
