Description
Technical Description – FDS301
Visual Flame Detection with Live Video
The FDS301 intelligent visual flame detector has the capability to output a live video signal over standard twisted pair cable. The live video provides instant visual verification of fire eliminating the need to send personnel into potentially hazardous situations and reducing the risk of injury. Although the FDS301 transmits live video images, it is not necessary to utilise them as the unit will still be a fully functioning flame detector.
A Closer Look
Visual flame detectors are spatial flame detectors. There is no integration of bright clusters across the field of view, each is analysed individually Visual flame detectors are unique in only having ONE sensitivity level.
Visual Flame Detection – FDS301/300
• Detects fire visually
• Will not be desensitised by sunlight
• Sensitivity not affected
• Direct sunlight, certified FM 1ft2 pan fire @ 44m
Benefits
• O&G Operator has confidence in safety system
• EPC Contractor can use less detectors because of greater sensitivity (no desensitisation)
• No fires missed due to solar radiation
Worldwide Approvals
With FM, FMC, IECEx, ATEX, CE and SIL2 approval, the FDS301 is accepted worldwide. This acceptance is enhanced
with a range of metric and imperial threads, and both PAL and NTSC video modes.
On-board Flame Video Recording
Each FDS301 incorporates an on-board Micro-SD card capable of recording 17 seconds of the alarm
video – 8.5 seconds pre-alarm and 8.5 seconds post-alarm. This video recording proves
invaluable during incident analysis and more crucially, you will never have an unknown alarm. This
feature has allowed operators who have experienced fires, to put preventative measures in place to
ensure the same incident does not occur again.
Immunity and Discrimination
Because of its principle of operation, the FDS301 is immune to common sources of unwanted alarms such as hot
work (e.g. grinding and welding), hot CO2 emissions (such as turbine exhausts) and reflected flare radiation.
Single Sensitivity
Unlike any other flame detector on the market, the sensitivity of the detector is preset, and no configuration is required. The detector is sensitive to fires of n-heptane 0.1m2 at up to 44m within a 90° Horizontal field of view. The sensitivity of the detector is pre-set and no changes in sensitivity are required.
Flexible Outputs
With built in relays, the FDS301 can be operated as a standalone alarm device with no need for further control equipment. Alternatively, it can be integrated into a control system using its 2 relay outputs, or a 0 to 20 mA signal with HART.
