Product Overview: The FS24X is the latest generation high technology Multi-Spectrum
Triple IR (IR/IR/IR/Visible) Flame Detector, which is part of our
FSX family of advanced technology Electro-Optical fire detectors.
Using our patented* WideBand IR™, WideBand 4.3 micron IR™, and
Visible detection technology, the FS24X is a quantum leap in flame
detection. Sophisticated software algorithms and dual
microprocessors ensure that the FS24X has the highest fire
detection performance combined with optimal false alarm rejection.
The WideBand IR™ Infrared technology using high-speed solid-state
Quantum sensors allows detection of all types of fires, hydrocarbon
and non-hydrocarbon, in all weather conditions. If the detector’s
signal is blocked by ordinary window glass, the patented WideBand
IR sensors will still alarm to the fire but at a reduced
sensitivity and slower response time. Dual microprocessors provide
a high level of fail-safe operation combined with fast and reliable
performance. The Master Microprocessor performs high-speed digital
sampling and signal-processing calculations: while the slave
microprocessor handles various sensor data, performs
communications, self-diagnostics and provides interface
versatility: and additional memory for storing Event Log and
FirePic™ data. The FSX family of detectors feature our patented*
FirePic data storage and information retrieval facility. FirePic™
records pre-fire data, which can be recovered from the Detector’s
non-volatile flash memory for post fire analysis and postulation of
the fire cause. Additionally, unique Real-Time Graphing (RTG™)
allows viewing of the data that the Detector actually sees. A
combination of outputs makes the FS24X a truly versatile detector
for today’s demanding industrial requirements. The FS24X Flame
Detector has a detection range greater than 200 feet (Very High
Sensitivity setting) for the detection of a one square-foot Heptane
reference fire and has a cone of vision far greater in volumetric
coverage than any other Multi-Spectrum IR Detector. This means
fewer detectors can be used as compared to other manufacturers’
detectors.
Test Lamps Some manufacturers claim that their detectors do not
need remote testing with an external Test Lamp because it tests
itself. Even though Honeywell Analytics Detectors also perform
“through the lens” self-testing and tests themselves, Honeywell
Analytics, in compliance with NFPA 72 codes, has developed portable
test lamps for periodical “end-to-end” testing their Detectors
remotely. Some of the most important functions of the remote test
lamp are to ensure the Detector’s optical path is not blocked, the
Detector is aimed properly at the fire threat area (that the
Detector mounting bracket didn’t move or was accidentally bumped by
someone), and the Detectors alarming circuitry and outputs (i.e.
relays, 4-to-20 mA, etc.) function properly. Internal Detector
testing and window lens cleanliness testing cannot insure the
Detector is aimed properly, that its view of the fire scene has not
been blocked by something such as a newly installed pipe or duct,
storage box, parked vehicle, etc., and its alarm outputs are
functioning properly. For calibrated testing, in compliance with
NFPA 72 Codes for flame detectors, as manufacturers of the FSX
product line, our calibrated testing using our TL-2055 Test Lamp is
as follows. If the FS24X set at Highest Sensitivity alarms to a
fully charged TL-2055 Test Lamp at a distance between 1 and 25
feet, t
