The UV/IR and IR3 flame detectors have a good false alarms rejection. The UV is insensitive to practically all false alarm sources, except for arc welding. Common applications in which the three GFE-SWR series flame detector models can be used can be found in the table below. Contact us if your application is not mentioned in this list.

GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016 3. Function of the detector The LEDs on the display The GFE-SWR flame detector has 3 LEDs on the display. These have the following meaning: Continuous green: normal operation Continuous yellow: fault ...
GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016 Remarks: Caution: during a manual optical self-test, the alarm relay is energized, when the test is successful. Make sure that before you start a manual self-test the outputs of the control panel or PLC are disconnected. Reconnect the outputs after you have finalized the self-test. Wiring the manual self-test is explained in the section electrical installation.
GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016 4.1 General planning guidelines A flame detector is a detector which is suitable for fast detection of open fires. These are typically fluid and gas fires but can also be solids such as paper or wood. Flame detectors are “line of sight”...
GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016 4.4 Orientation By mounting the flame detector with an angle of 45 heading to the bottom, you make full use of the cone of vision of the flame detector. If, seeing from the top, the flame detector also is directed diagonally, a volume is monitored. Top view 4.5 Shadow effect As rule of thumb you can take that the mounting...
GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016 4.6 Voting The flame detector will not give an alarm until several alarm criteria are met at the same time. The probability of a false alarm is therefore very low. The flame detector is for this reason suitable for an extinguishing action based on the signal of one flame detector.
GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016 Remarks: With the optional GFE-SWR-BKT ) swivel mount a convenient alignment of the flame detector on the fire risk is possible. (SM21 We strongly recommend applying the GFE-SWR-BKT ) 1 swivel mount. (SM21 6. Installation: Electrical The flame detector has several wiring options;...
GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016 Connection diagram 6.1 Wiring: Fire Control Panel The flame detector can be electrically connected to a fire control panel the same way that a manual call point is connected; by means of the current increase principle. The flame detector is connected to the fire panel with 3 or 4 wire cables. 2 wires for the power supply wiring and 1 or 2 wires for the zone.
GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016 Principle: The zone uses the alarm contact and the fault contact of the flame detector plus resistors. In case of a detector fault a wire breakage is simulated. In case of a fault followed by an alarm, a current Vn/AL is flowing through the zone. Thus an alarm “overrides”...
GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016 6.3 Installing the manual self-test For the installation of the manual self-test in this section, 4 options are shown by means of a scheme: Flame detector connected to a fire control panel, with a self-test switch on the fire control panel. Flame detector connected to a fire control panel with a separate switch for the manual self-test.
GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016 7.1 Commissioning Before the flame detector is activated, the following steps must be executed: Clean the detector window. Close the housing of the flame detector. Check the position and the alignment of the flame detector. Check if there are potential false alarm sources in the sight of the flame detector.
GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016 8. Maintenance Except for cleaning there is no specific preventive maintenance needed. Inspection of the following items is necessary: Check the position and the alignment of the flame detectors. Check if there are no potential false alarm sources in the sight of the flame detector. Check if there are no obstacles which restrict the sight of the flame detectors.
