Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 2.5 Accessories 2.5.1 Mounting Bracket The detector should be mounted using the stainless-steel tilt mount part number SP-F-TILTMOUNT-SS1. This allows the detector to be securely attached to a wall, pole or other solid surface using appropriate fixings. See section 3.5 and 3.6 for further details.
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 2.5.3 Pole mount The pole mount enables the detectors to be installed with its tilt mount brackets. The pole mount kit we supply are suitable for 2-inch or 3- inch poles. Part number SP-F-POLEMOUNT-23.
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 2.5.5 Flame Simulator The Spyglass IR3-H2 may be tested using the SP-F-SIM-IR3-H2. Spyglass flame simulator family provides a fast and convenient means of periodically testing the detector and control system end-to-end. Maintenance costs can be reduced as the detectors can be tested in situ without needing a hot work permit.
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 2.5.6 Duct Mount Duct Mount SP-F-DMX-S01 The SP-F-DMX-S01 allows a standard (non-HD) detector to be mounted remotely from a potential fire source by allowing the device to look through cut hole in the side of a duct.
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 3 Installation This chapter does not attempt to cover all of the standard practices and codes of installation. Rather, it emphasizes specific points of consideration and provides some general rules for qualified personnel. You must always observe special safety precautions.

Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL Arc welding rods can contain organic binder materials in the flux that burn during the welding operation and are detectable by the device. Welding rods with clay binders do not burn and should not be detected. However, a system inhibit is always recommended, since the material being welded may be contaminated with organic substances (paint, oil, etc.) that will burn and may be of the size that should...
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. See details of the explosion proof approvals in section 10.6. The equipment is certified for use in ambient temperatures in the range of -67°F to +167°F (-55°C to +75°C) or -67°F to +185°F (-55°C to +85°C) and should not be used in temperatures outside this range.
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL a) Mount the tilt mount base ( ) to a solid structure using four suitable fixings through the Figure 13 four 7mm (0.28") diameter holes. Four captive screws with spring washers are provided in the tilt mount.
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 3.7 Electrical Wiring The sensor module in the front half of the detector contains no serviceable components and should never be opened. Opening will invalidate the warranty of the detector. The terminal compartment at the back is the only part of the housing that should be opened by the user.

Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL In alarm condition, the alarm relay will close the contact and short the loop. With this configuration, the panel does not know which detector in the loop caused the alarm or fault. See figure below.
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL In order to comply with EMC regulations, the cable must be shielded, and the detector grounded. The use of industrial grade, suitably armored field cable is recommended). When using HART® communications, there are some additional considerations. In particular, low capacitance cable should be used.
Some functions of the detector can be configured using an RS-485 modem connected to a computer with the “communicator” software. For details of how to download the software please contact technical support via email at oldhamsimtronics-support@Teledyne.com or detcon- service@Teledyne.com. These configuration options are listed in the following table along with their factory default values.
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 4.1 Sensitivity The detector can be configured to one of five sensitivity levels: very low, low, medium, high and extreme. The following table lists for each sensitivity setting the maximum distance, in which a standard fire would be reliably detected.
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 4.5 Enable Pre-Alarm 0-20mA If the Pre-Alarm is enabled and Alarm Delay is greater than 0, The detector 0-20mA output will be 16mA and the red LED will blink in case of a fire condition.
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 4.10 Manual BIT – Alarm Output Test (Full loop test) When enabled, the alarm outputs are activated when a Manual BIT is initiated. See section 5.2 for details. Make sure all fire extinguishing actions or alarms connected to the detector are DISABLED when the manual BIT is initiated and the “Manual BIT –...
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 5 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.
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 5.2 Testing The detector has a Built-In-Test (BIT) capability to ensure proper operation and to indicate when the windows are dirty. 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”...
Spyglass IR3-H2 Flame Detector USER MANUAL 6 Maintenance After powering up, the detector should work maintenance free. Regular checks should be in the form of a physical inspection and to periodically ensure the optical surfaces are clean (windows and reflective mirror). It is also recommended to perform a function test annually or in line with local requirements, whichever is the sooner.
