Good day! Our FDS 303 has steady yellow light and fault indication on our FDS System. I already restarted it by switching off the 24VDC power supply, but nothing changes. What must be the fault of this sensor. Thank you

A steady yellow light on the Micropack FDS303 sensor indicates an internal fault. A red fault alarm is also present in this condition.

Can I do something about the fault or should the sensor be replaced?
For European (ATEX) installations IEC/EN60079-14 ‘Electrical Installations in Hazardous Areas’ and ICE/EN60079-17 ‘Inspection and Maintenance in Hazardous Areas’ should be strictly observed. Multispectrum IR flame detector type FDS303 is to be installed in places where there is a low risk of mechanical damage.
The FDS303 is not approved for use in Oxygen-enriched atmospheres. As the FDS303 responds to flame. It cannot be used in locations where flare stacks are within its field of view or a reflected view is present without triggering alarms.
1547 Annunciation Undetected The FDS303 is classified as a Type B Element according to IEC 61508, having a hardware fault tolerance of 0. Therefore, based on the SFF of 94.83% a design can meet SIL 2 @ HFT=0 when the FDS303 is used as the only component in a SIF Sub-assembly.
