Introduction

1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The Rosemount 975MR Multi-spectrum Flame Detector uses improved multi-spectrum
infrared technology to provide state-of-the-art fire protection. The detector uses patented
digital signal processing to analyze the spectral and dynamic characteristics of the
measured infrared radiation to identify fire events with exceptional sensitivity and extreme
immunity to fire alarms.

All Rosemount 975 series detectors include a heated optical window for improved
performance in icing, snow, and condensation conditions.

The operator can easily adapt detection performance to all environments, applications,
and requirements by changing the detector's configuration parameters. Adjusting these
parameters, as well as performing other maintenance and monitoring tasks, is possible by
means of RS-485 based Modbus® communication or HART® communication (in models
with 0-20 mA output).

The detector enclosure is ATEX certified Exd flameproof with an integral, segregated, rear,
Exe terminal compartment (avoiding exposure of the sensors and electronics to
surrounding environment). Hence the combined approval:

Ex II 2G D
Ex db eb op is IIC T4 G
Ex tb op is IIIC T96 °C Db
(-55 °C ≤ Ta ≤ +75 °C)
or
Ex II 2G D
Ex db eb op is IIC T4 Gb
Ex tb op is IIIC T106 °C Db
(-55 °C ≤ Ta ≤ +85 °C)
The flame detector is designed to operate as a stand-alone unit directly connected to an

alarm system or an automatic fire extinguishing system. The detector can also be part of a
more complex system where many detectors and other devices are integrated through a
common control unit.

Introduction

1.4 Principles of operation

1.4.1 Hydrocarbon fire detection

The Rosemount 975MR uses four infrared sensors, each sensitive to its own wavelength
range. Two of the sensors are sensitive to wavelengths within the emission peak of hot
CO2. The other two sensors are sensitive to wavelengths above and below this peak.

1.4.2

1.4.3

In the event of fire, the signal measured in the first sensor is significantly higher than those
measured in the other two sensors. In order to issue a fire alarm, the detector requires that
this occurs, as well as other conditions (for example, radiation is flickering in frequencies
typical of flames). If exposed to non-fire radiation sources, the specific conditions required
do not occur, and the detector does not react.

Heated optics

The flame detector uses heated optics. The heater increases the temperature of the
optical surface by 5 to 8 °F (3 to 5 °C) above the ambient temperature to improve
performance in icing, condensation, and snow conditions.

The heated optics can be set to one of the following:

• Off, not operating.

• On continuously.

• Automatic, per temperature change (default): the operator can define the start

temperature below which the window is heated. The default is 41 °F (5 °C). The
operator can define this temperature between 32 °F (0 °C) and 122 °F (50 °C). The
heating stops when the temperature is 27 °F (15 °C) above the start temperature.

For more information, see Configure the detector.

HART® protocol

The flame detector uses the HART protocol.
HART communication is a bi-directional industrial field communication protocol used to

communicate between intelligent field instruments and host systems. HART is the global
standard for smart process instrumentation, and the majority of smart field devices
installed in plants worldwide are HART-enabled. HART is available in output configurations
1A, 2A, and 3A (see Table 1-1).

1.5 Performance considerations

1.5.1 Detection sensitivity

Detection sensitivity is the maximum distance at which the detector reliably detects a
specific size of fire and typical type of fuel (standard fire).

Standard fire

Defined as 1 ft.2 (0.1 m2) n-heptane pan fire with maximum wind speed of 6.5 ft./sec
(2 m/sec).

Sensitivity ranges

The detector has four user-selectable sensitivity ranges. For each range, there are two
response levels:

• Warning (Pre-alarm)

• Alarm

The detection distance for the Warning level is approximately 10 percent higher than the

Alarm distance.

Alarm response times for a standard fire at a specified range are shown in Table 1-4.

For some typical ambient conditions, the Zeta parameter as defined in NFPA 72 for the
detector is 0.005 (1/meter).

Note

Zeta parameters may vary significantly with changes in temperature, air pressure,
humidity, visibility conditions, etc.

Other fuels

The detector reacts to other types of fire as follows:

• The baseline fire refers to n-heptane 1 ft.2 (0,1 m2) and is defined as 100 percent

sensitivity.

• For fuel fire: standard pan fire size: 1 ft.2 (0,1 m2)

• For gas flame: 30 in. (0.75 m) high, 10 in. (0.25 m) wide plume fire

• Maximum response time: 10 sec.

Table 1-10: Detector Statuses

Status Description

Normal Normal operation.

BIT Built-in test being performed.

Warning Fire detected - changed to Warning (pre-alarm state).

Alarm Fire detected - changed to Fire Alarm state.

Latched alarm (optional) The alarm outputs remain latched on following detection of a fire

that has already been extinguished.

BIT fault A fault is detected during built-in test sequence or other electric

failure. The detector will continue to detect for fire.

Fault A fault is detected when the power supply is too low or due to a

software fault or electrical failure. The detector will not detect fire
in this condition.

In each state, the detector activates different outputs, as specified in Table 1-11.

(1) The auxiliary relay can be activated at the Warning level or Alarm level, depending on programmed function.
(2) The alarm outputs are activated while alarm conditions exist and will stop approximately five seconds after a fire is no

longer detected.

(3) The Alarm state can be optionally latched via programmed function. (Default is non-latching).
(4) The detector will remain in BIT Fault state until it has passed a successful built-in test.

Red Constant On On Off 20 mA

Note

The outputs depend on the output configurations.

Optional latching

Alarms are set as non-latching by default. However, the detector includes a latched alarm
output capability, which operates according to the programmed function.

If selected, upon detection of a fire, the detection signal is latched until the operator
manually resets the detector (disconnecting the power supply or performing a manual
built-in test [see Manual built-in test]).

Latching affects the alarm relay, 0-20 mA output, and the alarm LED. The auxiliary relay is
latched only when the programmable function Auxiliary Relay is set to Yes.

NOTICE

The auxiliary relay is available only in models with output configurations - 1RXXXXX and
2RXXXXX.
The 0-20 mA is available only in models with output configurations - 1AXXXXX, 2AXXXXX,
and 3AXXXXX.

1.6 Internal detector tests

The detector performs two types of self-tests:

• Continuous feature test

Rosemount 975MR 21

Introduction

August 2019 00809-0100-4975

• Built-in test (BIT)

Reference Manual

1.6.1 Continuous feature test

During normal operation, the detector tests itself continuously and indicates a fault if a
failure is found. This type of test complies with SIL-2 requirements.

The detector continuously tests:

• Input voltage level

• All internal regulator voltage level

• Voltage level status of sensor and sensor circuitry for noise or disconnection in the

electronic circuitry

• 0-20 mA level output

• Relays and heater operation

• Processor watch dog

• Software

1.6.2

• Memory

• Oscillator frequency

Response to a fault indication

If a failure is found, the detector indicates it by:

• Fault relay:
— Opens in output configurations 1A, 2A, and 1R

— Closes in output configurations 3A and 2R

• 0-20 mA: indicates fault (0 mA or 2 mA) in output configurations 1A, 2A, and 3A

• LED - yellow flashes (4 Hz)

• Correcting the fault

The fault indications remain until the detector's power is removed. The fault indications
return if the fault is still found when power is restored.

Built-in test (BIT)

The detector's built-in test (BIT) also checks the following:

• Electronics circuitry

• Sensors

• Window cleanliness

The detector can be set to perform the built-in test in the following modes:

• Automatically and manually

• Manually only

Reference Manual Introduction

00809-0100-4975 August 2019

NOTICE

In a manual built-in test, the outputs may also be tested; apply control system inhibit if
this could initiate other systems.

How the built-in test operates

• The detector's status remains unchanged if the result of a built-in test is the same as

the current status (Normal or BIT Fault).

• The detector's status is changed (from Normal to BIT Fault or vice versa) if the built-in

test differs from the current status.

NOTICE

In BIT Fault status, the detector can continue to detect a fire.

Automatic built-in test

The detector automatically performs a built-in test every fifteen minutes. A successful
built-in test sequence does not activate any indicator.

All outputs of built-in test results function as described in Table 1-12 and Table 1-13, and
the built-in test is automatically executed every one minute.

This continues until a successful built-in test occurs, when the detector resumes normal
operation.
