Page 31: Enable Dirty Window Warning 0-20Ma
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 32: Operation
FlameSpec UV-IR User Manual F110V0020.08 Operation On power up, the LED on the front of the detector flashes Yellow indicating the startup routine has begun. After approximately 30 seconds, if the startup is successful, the LED turns green, the 0-20mA output goes to 4mA and the fault relay is closed. -
Page 33: Testing
The BIT can also be initiated manually by short circuiting the “Manual BIT” terminal and the “24 VDC (-) “terminal for one second (table 1) or by using the FGD communicator software (connected through RS-485). In case of “Dirty Window” fault the detector may still detect flames but at a lower sensitivity. -
Page 34: Cleaning Procedure
FlameSpec UV-IR User Manual F110V0020.08 Cleaning Procedure To clean the detector: Disconnect the power to the unit and disable/inhibit any extinguishing equipment that is connected to the unit.
