1 Introduction
To comply with local standards and jurisdictional authorities, end-to end loop testing of fire
protection alarm systems, including detectors, should be performed periodically. Many
safety authorities and plant managers of high value / high risk assets and facilities insist on
quarterly end-to end testing of their entire fire protection systems using an external flame
simulator.
Rosemount Flame Simulators emit electromagnetic radiation in a unique sequential
pattern corresponding to and recognizable as fire by the specific Rosemount 975 Flame
Detector model. This allows the detector to be tested under real fire conditions without
the associated risk of an open flame. Rosemount Flame Simulators are ATEX certified EExd
for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2, Zone 21 and Zone 22 hazardous areas and are powered by
rechargeable lithium ion batteries. When fully charged, the Flame Simulator will operate
for at least 1,000 tests without recharging.
Using an external, portable Rosemount Flame Simulator is the best means to perform a
full, functional end-to-end test of the detector and the fire protection system without the
need to start a real fire (which is not permitted in hazardous areas and can be dangerous in
non-hazardous areas). The Rosemount Flame Simulator is the only non-hazardous and safe
method to test the Flame Detector's sensors, internal electronics, alarm activation
software, cleanliness of the viewing window/lens, wiring integrity, actual relay activation,
and proper functionality of any other outputs used (mA, RS-485, HART).
Introduction
1.1 Model and types
The FS-HR-975 Flame Simulator is compatible with the following detector type:
Flame simulator compatibilityTable 1-1:
Simulator P/N Compatible with:
Multi-spectrum Infrared Hydrogen Flame Simulator
FS-HR-975 975HR
1.2 Features and benefits
• Used for maintenance and testing of flame detectors.
• Can activate the flame detector from a distance of up to 12 m.
• Includes rechargeable battery.
• Operates at least 1,000 tests before recharging the battery.

Introduction
1.3 Principles of operation
The FS-HR-975 emits IR energy, which is filtered to emit electromagnetic radiation in a
unique sequential pattern, corresponding to and recognizable as a fire by the Rosemount
975HR Flame Detector. The simulator includes a reflector which accumulates the IR
energy and directs it towards the detector.
The FS-HR-975 includes a laser diode and a sight in order to point the simulator to the
center of the flame detector.
1.4 Simulator status
For the first five seconds, the laser defines the simulator status.
Normal status
At normal, the laser turns on constantly for five seconds before the IR radiation turns on.
These five seconds are used to aim the simulator to the center of the detector before the
IR radiation turns on. The IR radiation turns on for fifty seconds. After these fifty seconds,
the IR radiation turns off, and the simulator cannot be operated for a further twenty
seconds (delay between activations).
Fault status
1. Low battery - The laser flashes three times, stops flashing for a few seconds, flashes
three more times, stops flashing, and flashes three more times.The IR radiation will
be activated.
2. IR fault - The laser flashes five times, stops flashing for a few seconds, flashes five
more times, stops flashing, and flashes five more times. The IR radiation will not be
activated.
3. Total failure - The laser does not turn on. The IR radiation will not be activated.
