SAFETY
Caution
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It is also
used to alert the user against unsafe working practices and potential damage to equipment.
Warning
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
1. Installation and commissioning must only be carried out by a Honeywell Analytics approved person or by a
qualified person trained in accordance with this manual, and only in accordance with the recognized
regulations and standards of the appropriate authority in the country concerned.
2. Do not make any unauthorised changes to the equipment as essential safety and certification requirements
may be invalidated.
3. Do not operate the detectors in normal conditions with covers open or removed. Access to the interior of the
detector must only be carried out by trained personnel.
4. Ensure the detector power is off and electrically isolated before opening the detector in a hazardous area.
Do not open the enclosure or touch live terminals when the system is energised.
5. Do not touch or contaminate the sensors or lenses as this may shorten their life and may affect their
sensitivity to UV / IR radiation. Clean contaminated sensors and lenses carefully using lint-free or micro-fibre
cloth dampened only with optical-grade cleaning solution.
6. These flame detectors do not require earthing (grounding), but must be installed correctly to avoid electrical
shocks and interference.
7. The FSL100 Flame Detector is only assessed under ATEX for ignition hazards.
8. Operators, site personnel and visitors should be made fully aware of the action to be taken in the event of an
alarm sounding.
Important
Read and understand the instruction manual before operating or servicing the equipment.

Overview
The Honeywell Analytics FSL100 series of Flame Detectors comprises three models:
FSL100-IR3 Triple Infrared flame detector
FSL100-UV Ultraviolet flame detector
FSL100-UVIR Ultraviolet and Infrared flame detector
These flame detectors monitor an area by looking for the presence of invisible infrared or ultraviolet light that occur outside the
frequency range occupied by visible flames, and they can do this in the presence of interference (sunlight, smoke, dust, vapour
etc.) to determine whether or not a fire is actually present within their field of view.
All three detectors utilize a microprocessor for sophisticated electronic signal analysis. Detectors with IR sensors also analyse
the flame flicker effect. The Triple IR flame detector uses this method to give highly reliable nuisance alarm rejection and is also
less affected by optical contamination and smoke than are UV based flame detectors.
The diagram below shows the spread of invisible UV/IR radiation that is available for sampling outside the human visual range,
and shows how a UV/IR detector can be potentially 1 million times more sensitive than a human eye.
Frequency (Hz) Wavelength
Note: Monitoring a fire zone (i.e. a fume chamber) through its glass or acrylic walls could reduce or defeat the sensitivity of
certain types of flame detector.
For example, plain glass and acrylic are known to block IR but may transmit UV, whereas coated materials may block both.
Please consult Honeywell Analytics Technical Support for further information if you need this type of application

Mechanical Installation
This chapter describes the mechanical requirements for installing FSL100 Series Flame Detectors. Electrical
installation is discussed in the next chapter.
4.1 Siting
The number, type and placement of fire detectors and alarm control systems should be determined in consultation with
Honeywell Analytics specialist technical advisors and Site specialists.
Remember that the FSL100 series are flame detectors only; they cannot detect flammable gas or dust atmospheres. Please
contact Honeywell Analytics if you need a flammable atmosphere detection system.
Generally speaking, one or more FSL100 flame detectors should be positioned on walls or posts above the monitored object or
area, and they should overlap so that shadow areas cannot occur (see diagrams that follow).
4.2 Mounting and Orientation
In this chapter a number of general guidelines are given for the flame detector system design. Several of these guidelines are
discussed in more detail in the following chapters.
4.3 Installing the FSL100 Flame Detectors
There are 2 options for installing the FSL100 series of Flame Detectors:
1. You can use the optional Swivel Mount to mount them on walls, ceilings or posts (see Ch.10 FSL100-SM21 Swivel Mount).
2. You can mount them directly to a ceiling (i.e. in a fume chamber or in an engine room) or inside ducting.
Use the measurements below for mounting, remembering to allow clearance for the cables.

4.4 Cone of Vision
The FSL100 flame detector has a cone of vision of 90° so it can monitor an area extending from floor to ceiling and
extending to approximately 23 m (FSL100-UV and UVIR) or 35 m (FLS100-IR3).
Figure 3. Cone of View
4.5 Shadow Effect
If monitoring a solid object, the mounting height (hd) of the flame detector should be at least twice the height (ho) of the highest
object in the monitored zone:
Detector height (hd) = 2 x height of the highest object (ho) Shadow effect
Figure 4. Shadow Effect
INSTALLATION
MAN0987_Iss 2_09/16
11
FSL100 Series Flame Detectors
Technical Handbook
Caution
Reducing the height of a detector above the monitored item will increase the size of shadow areas, so a
minimum of two detectors will be required to cover the shadows. See Shadow Effect explanation above.
D m

o
To avoid the shadow effect (in zones that cannot be fully monitored by a solo flame detector) place a second flame detector in
the opposite corner.
Figure 6. Shadow Cancelling
4.6 Mounting Below a Ceiling
Smoke rises and can form a layer at ceiling height long before naked flames are visible. Dense smoke can block some of the
wavelengths of light given off by flames, and this can ultimately decrease the sensitivity and speed of the flame detector.
To avoid the risk of smoke blocking their fields of view, you should mount the FSL100-IR3 flame detectors at least 0.5 m (2 ft),
and the FSL100-UV and FSL100-UVIR detectors at least 1.5m (6 ft), below the ceiling (see dimension ‘D’ below).

INSTALLATION
MAN0987_Iss 2_09/16

FSL100 Series Flame Detectors
Technical Handbook
Caution
A flame detector is a line of sight detector so voting with just two flame detectors in not reliable. The redundant
flame detector in the opposite corner cannot be used for a 2 detector dependent output because a flame
occurring in a shadow area would not be seen by the second detector until the fire is well established. In this
case the second flame detector will give an alarm too late or not at all.
Monitored object
4.7 Vote Count
FSL100 flame detectors will not give an alarm until several different alarm criteria occur at the same time, and the probability of
a false alarm is very low. The flame detector is therefore suitable for relay activated actions (i.e. drenching) based on the signal
of one flame detector.
However, ‘voting’ may be demanded in a functional specification, in which case the ‘voting-system’ may be applied; i.e., the
flame detectors may be mounted in multiples, as shown in the example below where an alarm output would be dependent on
the controller receiving confirmatory alarm inputs from at least two of the available detectors.
Figure 8. Voting Arrangement Using Four Detectors
A good example of voting would be in a Server room or process room that uses inert gas drenching to replace oxygen in the
atmosphere, and the voting of any 2 out of the 4 flame detectors should be mandated before the relay output can be triggered.
Note: The fire control panel or PLC must be able to support the two detector voting system.

4.8 Weather Protection
It is recommended to place a hood or shield above the flame detector to protect it from sunlight, rain and snow. A stainless steel
metal plate of approximately 30 x 30 cm (12 x 12 in) can be mounted directly above the flame detector without inhibiting its field
of view. A similar plate can be used to shield it from potential false alarm sources such as smoke-stack flares.
4.9 Hot Work
Flame Detectors may alarm in the presence of hot work, for example a welding operation, and this must be taken into
account when doing Hot Work risk assessments and when issuing Hot Work permits.
Usually it is sufficient to inhibit or isolate the alarm system in that area and substitute a ‘Fire Marshall’ or safety man armed with
an appropriate fire extinguisher.
