A high-speed microprocessor based fire detection and process control system specially designed for liquid and powder coating applications, the FS System 10™ quickly detects the presence of a flame, reacts by initiating a shutdown of the electrostatic finishing process in a matter of milliseconds: and effectively interrupts the fire before residues and wet paint films can ignite.
- Multi-Spectral digital electro-optical infrared fire detector
- Immune to false alarms caused by arcs or corona discharges
- Built-in automatic ‘through the lens’ self-test
- Not sensitive to background radiant energy sources such as paint heaters
- Not affected by absorbing smoke or paint solvent mist in liquid pant spray booths
- Sees through paint, powder or oil residue on detector’s lens
- Digital communications with RS-485 interface
- FirePic™: retrieval of recorded pre-fire data
- SnapShot™: dynamic graphical display of what the detector sees
It has an advanced function to perform Analysis of the flame flicker-frequency for improved false alarm rejection. Dual sensing methodology enables a wide range of hydrocarbon and Non-hydrocarbon fires to be effectively detected. Good resistance against the influences of: – Direct and reflected sunlight
– Artificial light, such as fluorescent tubes and glass covered halogen lamps
– Arcs and electric discharges (static or from e.g. electric motors)
– The radiation from electric welding provided that the electric welding takes place at a distance more than 10 feet from the flame detector (a welding rod contains organic compounds which may produce a small flame)
