and Fire Sentry FS10-R
Unitized Detector
Features
• Multi-Spectral digital electro-optical infrared
fire detector
• Meets requirements of NFPA 33
• Unique two-stage ALERT and
FIRE ALARM response
• 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
Applications (indoor use only)
• Liquid Paint Spray Lines
• Aerosol Filling
• Powder Coating Booths
• Curing Ovens
Our fire detection systems have been
protecting electrostatic paint spray
booths worldwide – with millions of
booth operational hours and not a single
fire loss.
Fire Sentry FS System 10™
A high-speed microprocessor based fire detection and process control system
specially designed for liquid and powder coating applications, the Fire Sentry
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.
The Fire Sentry FS System 10 is the only system that provides a two-stage
response: an ALERT for spray gun “fireball” type fires and if the fire continues, a
FIRE ALARM is declared in 4-5 seconds.
The Fire Sentry FS System 10 is vastly superior to conventional detectors due to
the electro-optical quantum infrared sensors array and the ability to accurately
detect fires without false alarms. The FS System 10 is available in both wallmount controller and card controller configurations. (For additional information
on card controller, consult the factory.)
The detector is mounted in an explosion-proof housing. The wall-mounted
controller is a self-contained system mounted in a NEMA 12 enclosure with
LCD display and LED status lights. Three 10-amp mechanical relays have been
incorporated for shutting down the paint flow, electrostatics and conveyor. Event
history and fire tech data are reported by the detector in real time and data,
then stored in the controller’s non-volatile memory. FirePic™ and SnapShot™
data can be downloaded from the RS-232 port of the controller from your PC.
The controller may operate with one or two detectors.
Fire Sentry FS10-R Unitized
The Fire Sentry FS10-R Unitized is a multi-spectral infrared electro-optical
flame detector designed specifically for liquid paint or powder spray booth
applications. Based on the Fire Sentry FS System 10, the FS10-R Unitized
flame detector meets the need for a stand-alone capability and complies with
the NFPA 33 Standard. The WideBand IR™, NearBand IR, and Visible sensors
combined with the advanced signal procession provide optimum performance.
High spend fire response with optional factory sensitivity settings and alarm
outputs provide the best, proven solution to fire detection for the
Finishing Industry.
