Safety Field of application - FMX5000 IR SF All detectors are available in silicone-free versions and thus free of substances which inhibit paint adhesion. For example, these detectors can be used in paint finishing plants. INFORMATION Ensure that the assembly and installation accessories as well as the detector base are also silicone-free during assembly and installation.
Design and function Design and function General description of the function FMX5000 IR Ex flame detectors have three optical input channels and react to flames from fuels containing carbon. Depending on the respective version, the detectors are suitable for indoor and outdoor use and approved for use in the following explosion hazard areas: Zone 0, 1, 2, 20, 21 and 22.
Design and function 3.2.1 Detector type FMX5000 IR Ex Intrinsically safe flame detector with integrated function test of the optical channels via IR emitter. Aluminum housing. This detector is also available as a silicone-free version. 3.2.2 Detector type FMX5000 IR Ex ST Intrinsically safe flame detector with integrated function test of the optical channels via IR emitter.

Design and function Viewing range The viewing range of the detector is shown in the following figure. The relative sensitivity is given (in percent). FMX5000 IR Ex viewing range Status indicators 1 Alarm indicator (red) 2 Operation indicator (green) or fault indi- cator (yellow) Fig.
Design and function The status indicators show that operation is normal or if an alarm or fault exists. The detector has a red status indicator as well as a two-color green/yellow status indicator. Status Indicator Description Miscellaneous indicator behavior green flashes every Correct operation.
Design and function Fault signaling If a fault condition is met, the internal fault circuit is activated and an additional fault current flows . This increase in current allows a connected evaluation unit to recognize that a detector is in a fault state. The fault indicator of the detector lights up.

Project planning information Room monitoring as per VdS 2095: 2010-05 (07) In a rectangular room the detector must be aligned at an angle of 45° between the optical axis and wall. Fig. 11: Room monitoring as per VdS 2095: 2010-05 (07) Flame detector Maximum edge Longest path to...
Project planning information The inverse-square law also applies to sources of disturbance! If the radiative heat transfer of a modulated source of interference is considerably larger than the radiative heat transfer of a fire to be detected, then detection is delayed considerably or does not take place at all.
Page 30
Project planning information ° Fig. 12: Sensitivity is reduced by half at an angle of 45 NOTICE Hot surfaces in the detector viewing range can prevent fire detection. At minimum, maintain a distance of 5 m (16 ft) between hot surfaces (e.g. electrical resistance heaters, fan heaters, radiators) and the detector.
