The supporting structure must allow for horizontal adjustment of the detector orientation. The support structure should be in place prior to detector installation. Information on mounting is available from Micropack (Engineering) Limited. The threaded flame path of the enclosure cover and body must be protected from damage during installation.
FDS300 Flame Detector FDS300 Safety and Technical Manual Ref: 2401.6000 Rev: 2.3 ECN: 4436 Application Guidelines In considering the application of the detector it is important to know of any conditions that may prevent the detector from responding. The detector provides reliable response to visible flames within its field of view, and insensitivity to common false alarm sources.
The detector sensitivity to different fuel sources is dependent on the apparent size of the flame, the detectors typical response is shown below (see table 4). Table 4: Typical FDS300 Response Characteristics Fuel Fire Size...
