Section 1: Introduction
1.1 Application
The Honeywell Analytics FS10-R (relay output) are unitized, stand-alone Flame Detectors designed for detecting and alarming to fires in electrostatic powder or paint spray booths and paint spray lines in industrial and automotive applications. These multi-spectral, digital, electro-optical, patented detectors are housed in explosion-proof enclosures and feature automatic "through-the-lens" self-test. Detectors can be ordered with dry contact relays for interfacing to control panels, with latching or non-latching outputs. FS10-R Detectors include a built-in controller and are unitized versions of earlier FS10 models.
The FS10 line is designed for indoor fire detection in areas with combustible materials. Typical applications include:
- Automotive Paint Lines
- Paint Kitchens
- Curing Ovens
- Powder Coating Booths
- Compressor Modules
- Diesel Generators
- Aerosol Filling
- General Finishing
- Paint Mixing Rooms
- Warehouse Storage
- Liquid Paint Spray Lines
- Internal Storage Tanks
1.2 Responses
FS10-R detectors provide Alert/Fire Early Warning, Fire Alarm, and Fault signal relays. During normal operation, Alert/Fire Early Warning and Alarm relays are de-energized, and the Fault relay is energized. A Fire Alarm is declared in less than 5.0 seconds.
1.3 Input Power Requirements
The FS10-R requires 85 mA (0.085 Amps) at 24 Volt DC (+/-15%) during normal operation. The maximum current required during an Alarm is 120 mA.
1.4 FirePic™
FirePic stores sensor data for the last six fire events in non-volatile memory, providing spectral evidence to postulate fire causes. It records the time and date for each event and includes a graphical display of relative spectral intensities over time.
? Note: A PC computer is required to access FirePic.
1.5 No Silicone Used
No silicone-based sealant or silicone greases are used in the Flame Detector.
1.6 FS10-R, -RN Unitized Flame Detectors
These multi-spectral detectors span Wide Band IR™, Near Band IR™, and Visible Band™ spectra. They use intelligent processing to differentiate between real fires and false alarm sources by simultaneously examining these three spectral bands.
Detection ranges are factory set for 15 feet (FS10-R15, -RN15) and 30 feet (FS10-R30, -RN30) for a one square foot Heptane reference pan fire. Response times are: Alert 0.3 seconds, Fire Early Warning 1.0 second, and Fire Alarm less than 5.0 seconds. Detectors are factory set for latching (FS10-R15, -R30) or non-latching (FS10-RN15, -RN30) outputs.
The Alert/Fire Early Warning response is not available for FS10-R45 or FS10-RN45 (45 foot detection range) versions.
Detectors feature real-world time and date stamped "Event History" files stored in non-volatile memory.
1.6.1 Alert / Early Warning Relay Output
Provides one Alert/Fire Early Warning relay (1 Amp @ 24 VDC). It is de-energized (open contacts) during Normal Operation and energized (closed contacts) during an Alert or Fire Early Warning condition.
1.6.2 Alarm Relay Output
Provides one Fire Alarm relay (1 Amp @ 24 VDC). It is de-energized (open contacts) during Normal Operation and energized (closed contacts) during a Fire Alarm condition. The Fire Relay can be configured as Latching (remains energized until reset) or Non-Latching (resets automatically after 5 seconds). Latching is the standard factory setting unless an RN version is ordered.
1.6.3 Fault Relay Output
Provides one Fault relay (1 Amp @ 24 VDC). It is energized (closed contacts) during Normal Operation and de-energized (open contacts) during a Fault condition. Faults can include loss of power or Self-Test failure.
1.6.4 Physical Description
The detector's electronics and sensors are housed in a water-tight and explosion-proof enclosure with ratings including Class I Div. 1, 2 (Groups B, C, D); Class II Div. 1, 2 (Groups E, F, G); Class III; NEMA 3 & 4. It features dual 3/4 inch NPT conduit openings and a copper-free aluminum housing with a red powder-coated epoxy finish. The 'O' ring material is Dupont Viton. The detector weighs approximately 3.5 pounds. For dimensions, refer to Figures 3 and 4.
1.6.5 Field of View
The detector's field-of-view is 90 degrees (± 45° horizontal and vertical).
1.6.6 Environment Range
Humidity range: 10% to 90% RH (non-condensing). Operating and storage temperature range: -40 °F to +185 °F (-40 °C to +85 °C).
1.6.7 Location
Detectors should be located within their specified detection distance (15, 30, or 45 feet) of the fire threat area, with a clear view of the monitored area. Positioning in room corners or ceilings can help avoid line-of-sight blockage.
1.6.8 Self-Test
The detector performs ACCTTL™ (Automatic Computer Controlled Through The Lens Test) every 10 minutes to check the window lens for contamination. If cleaning is needed, the LED blinks three times in a burst every 10 seconds. The system remains functional during these tests.
1.6.9 Warranty
Honeywell Analytics warrants the Flame Detector against defects in material and workmanship for two (2) years from the shipment date.
Section 2: Installation
2.1 Detector Views
The detector can be mounted directly on a wall or using optional swivel mounting assemblies (SM2 or SM4 Stainless Steel Swivel Mount). Refer to Section 6.1 for details.
Figure 3: Fire Detector Housing - Side View: This diagram illustrates the side profile of the detector housing, showing key dimensions such as height (4.38 inches), depth, and the location and size of the 3/4 inch NPT conduit openings.
Figure 4: Detector Housing - Rear View: This diagram shows the rear of the detector housing, detailing mounting hole dimensions and the overall width and height of the unit.
2.2 Conduit Installation
Detectors should be located to cover specific "fire threat" areas. When planning conduit runs:
- If only one of the two 3/4 inch NPT conduit openings is used, seal the unused opening with a threaded, tapered plug.
- In areas where moisture may accumulate, install an approved conduit trap or drain.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: BE SURE and DOUBLE CHECK that the external AC voltage electrical power is TURNED OFF before proceeding. Connect 120 Volts AC LAST for OPTION 1S-GF-120, and 240 Volts AC LAST for OPTION 1S-GF-240.
2.3 Power Supply Considerations
? Note: Apply ONLY 24 Volt DC to the Detectors Electrical Input Power Connections.
Refer to Section 1.3 for input power requirements and pin assignments. Ensure the panel's power supply can handle the total load current of all connected detectors. For example, ten Model FS10-R detectors may require a power supply capable of at least 1.20 Amps. This load must also be considered for 24-hour backup requirements.
2.4 Mounting the Flame Detectors
The detectors have a 90-degree field-of-view and can detect a one square foot heptane pan fire at half sensitivity off-axis up to 45 degrees. Position detectors with the primary fire threat location aimed at the center of the field-of-view. Mount detectors in locations like room corners or ceilings to ensure a clear view and avoid line-of-sight blockage.
Section 3: Operating Modes
3.1 Normal Operation
Apply only EXTERNAL 24 volt DC regulated electrical power. Upon power-up, the red LED blinks ON for about 10 seconds during initialization, then blinks once every 10 seconds during Normal Operation. The detector is ready to detect fires, report faults, and indicates normal operation with the red LED blinking every 10 seconds. Analog type detectors indicate a 4 mA output current.
3.2 Alert / Fire Early Warning
During an Alert or Fire Early Warning condition, the detector will:
- Rapidly blink the red LED continuously.
- Energize the Alert/Early Warning relay or indicate a 12 mA output current.
- Record FirePic data in non-volatile memory.
- Record the event in the Event History file.
3.3 Alarm Condition
During a Fire Alarm condition, the detector will:
- Turn ON the red LED continuously.
- Energize the Fire Alarm relay.
- Record FirePic data in non-volatile memory.
- Record the event in the Event History file.
3.4 Fault Condition
During a Fault condition, the detector will:
- Blink the red LED as indicated in Table 1.
- Indicate a fault (de-energize the Fault relay).
- Record the event in the Event History file.
Common fault causes include dirty detector windows, wiring failures (severed cables, loose terminations), internal self-checking failures, or power loss.
? Note: Fault conditions are self-resetting; the detector stops reporting a fault when the cause is remedied.
3.5 Automatic Detector Test
The detector performs ACCTTL™ tests every 10 minutes to check the operation of the Flame Detector. During a fault, the green LED blinks according to Table 1 "Detector Fault Codes". An inadequate signal may indicate a dirty window lens or reflector lens guard.
? Note: The system remains functional and can alarm to a fire during ACCTTL™ tests.
3.6 Manual Detector Test
⚠️ WARNING: Detector relay outputs must be isolated mechanically (not just by software/firmware) to avoid unintended alarms or suppression discharge during manual testing. Use a Portable Test Lamp, such as the Honeywell Analytics Model FS-846-B, to test the system "end-to-end" by activating each detector separately.
? Note: The Honeywell Analytics Model FS-846-B Portable Test Lamp is recommended for individual detector activation.
3.7 Advanced System Diagnostics
The detector's FireBus™ connections allow interfacing with a PC via the optional PC "Windows" Interface Kit (refer to Section 6.6).
Section 4: Maintenance and Replacement
4.1 Detector Faults
⚠️ WARNING: Serious injury or death may result if safety precautions are not observed.
If a detector fault occurs, the internal red LED blinks every 10 seconds with specific fault codes. If remedial action does not clear the fault, contact FSC Customer Service.
Event History File | Action |
---|---|
Fault CONDITION (1) No LED illumination | No power available. Check wiring for broken, crimped cables, or loose terminations. |
Fault CONDITION (3) LED blinks 3 times | Flame Detector "through the lens" test failure. Clean the lens and grill, including underneath the grill (See Section 3.5). |
Fault CONDITION (5) LED blinks 5 times | Flame Detector temperature ratings exceeded. This should clear when the unit returns to a standard environment. |
Fault CONDITION (4) LED blinks 4 times | Internal Detector Fault (e.g., broken relay coil). If persistent, return the detector to Honeywell Analytics for service (See Section 4.3). |
Fault CONDITION (6) LED blinks 6 times | Internal Detector Fault (e.g., memory failure). If persistent, return the detector to Honeywell Analytics for service (See Section 4.3). |
4.2 Cleaning Detectors Housing Windows
Clean detector windows and grills immediately after handling/installation, on a regular schedule, or when a fault indicates it. Use an air blast or a clean cloth. Honeywell Analytics' Disposable Protective Covers (Part No. DPC-12) can help keep the window lens and self-test grill clean.
4.3 Detector Module Replacement
