FDS301 Flame Detector FDS301 Safety and Technical Manual Ref: 2200.5009 Rev: 2.3 ECN 4434 Safety Instructions For the correct and effective use of this equipment, to maintain safety and avoid hazards it is essential that you read and understand these instructions fully, act accordingly BEFORE installing, operating or maintaining the equipment.
As the FDS301 responds to visible flame the FDS301 cannot be used in locations where flare stacks are within its field of view without triggering alarms. The FDS301 is unable to detect fires that are invisible to the naked eye, such as those using pure hydrogen, methanol and sulphur as fuel.

The FS301 flame simulator can be used to verify correct detector positioning and coverage (see section 6.2 of this document). • The FDS301 has one sensitivity setting, this is factory set, and no changes can be made to set-up except by fully trained Micropack engineers. •...
FDS301 Flame Detector FDS301 Safety and Technical Manual Ref: 2200.5009 Rev: 2.3 ECN 4434 Mounting & Orientation The mounting bracket allows the detector’s vertical orientation to be adjusted from 0 to 45°, and allows a horizontal rotation of +/-45°. Figure 1: Detector Mounting Bracket & Orientation Status led must be below the lens.
FDS301 Flame Detector FDS301 Safety and Technical Manual Ref: 2200.5009 Rev: 2.3 ECN 4434 Wiring Procedure The wiring terminals are located in the rear section of the detector enclosure and are accessible by removal of the end cap. The front section of the enclosure should only be accessed by trained personnel.

Reversal of polarity across terminals 1 & 2 will enable Micropack RS485 communication. 2 Pair Termination: 4-20mA output only with reversal of polarity across terminals 1 &...
Fully functional detector with continuous video, alarm and fault relays as well as permanent Micropack RS485 communication connections. Micropack RS485 communication should only be accessed by trained personnel. EOL and Alarm resistor values defined by the client and the control system which the detectors are being integrated into.
A&B (3&4) whilst the power supply polarity is reversed. Using Micropack Simple Apps software, the RS485 channel can be used to view and/or modify detector firmware, version, configuration or download recorded alarm video from SD card. Contact Micropack for Simple Apps software.
Figure 14: FDS301 Coverage & Field of View Software analysis of the actual detector coverage may be required to ensure adequate coverage of the hazards. This analysis can also be used to optimise the number of detectors.
FDS301 Flame Detector FDS301 Safety and Technical Manual Ref: 2200.5009 Rev: 2.3 ECN 4434 Maintenance and Commissioning Procedure This maintenance schedule / commissioning procedure is intended for guidance only. The actual level of maintenance required will depend on the severity of the operating environment and the likelihood of damage or the rate of contamination from oil, sea spray, deluge system etc.
Refer to the FS301 Flame Simulator user manual (ref. 2301.6042) for instructions on its use. Failure of the detector to respond to the FS301 flame simulator should be reported to Micropack (Engineering) Limited (info@micropack.co.uk). It should be ensured that the flame detector and flame simulator are being used correctly in the first instance by referring to their manuals.
