3.3 Life Cycle
The device is designed to have a service life of 10 years or 250,000 cycles. The functional
safety calculations are based on these values.
The actual service life of the F300K depends on the ambient temperature among other factors.
In particular, operation at high temperatures reduces the actual service life.
3.4 Proper Use - Conditions of Use
The F300K is designed to monitor the safety of burner flames in single- and multi-burner combustion plants and in combustion chambers for dust- and grate-fired systems.
As an explosion-proof device, the flame scanner can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres (up to Zone 2).
Any other usage going beyond this is considered to be improper use. The plant operating company is liable for any damages that resulting from this.

sages
2 Amplifiers 6 Flame relay 10 LED status display
3 Power supply 7 Integrated operating unit (UI) 11 Mode selector
4 Microcontrollers 8 Ready
The F300K analyses the flickering of the flame in the UV or IR range. For preparation for signal
processing there is a semiconductor sensor (1) on a button strip. For each sensor signal,
the level is adjusted by means of two adjustable amplifiers (2). These two amplifiers are located on the main board, as are the two microcontrollers (4). Due to the amplitude and the
course taken by the signal to be evaluated over time, both microcontrollers detect the existence of the flame.
The safety of the device is monitored by means of both software and hardware diagnostics.
The ready contact (8) indicates that the flame scanner is ready for operation.
The mode selector (11) allows you to choose between three different sets of parameters.
These parameters are stored in the EEPROM and influence the analysis of the current sensor
signal of the flame to be monitored.
There is a FSB interface (9) available for operation. The F300K is operated by means of an
external or internal user interface (7) or the PC with F300K-Remote-Software. An LED dis-
play (10) makes the status of the flame scanner visible. The flame intensity is provided as
non-failsafe information with a 4 (0) ... 20 mA current loop (5).
The circuit is supplied with 24 VDC (3) by an external power supply unit with safe separation
(e.g. FN20 or FN30).
An internal temperature sensor monitors the temperature in the device.

The following applies when using the F300K in explosion-proof areas:
• For use only in approved explosion protection zones.
• T o protect its aperture, only mount the F300K on a burner or boiler using one of its holders:
the FV30, FV40, FK41 or FK46.
• Use only the types of cable specified by the manufacturer when extending cables.
• When extending cables in the potentially explosive area, use only terminal housings that
are approved for this area. LAMTEC recommends the connection housing FG30-20 Ex II
for this purpose.
• Check if cable connections fit tightly. Should there be a need to loosen the cable connection, it is to be ensured that the cables do not turn while loosening and tightening the cable
connection.
• Note, in particular, the information on setup in EN 60079-14, section 12.2 (cables and
earthing).
• Only remove the connector of the F300K or FB30 Ex or any other cable connections when
it is deenergised.
See the warning on the device: WARNING – DO NOT DISCONNECT WHEN ENERGISED.
• In particular, seperation has to be in accordance with EN 60079-14 'Appendix: Instructions
for procedures to work safely in an explosive gas atmosphere', only permitted after the release by personnel in charge of the explosion protection of the operating company.
• The F300K and FB30 may only be opened by the manufacturer or authorized personnel.
It is not necessary to open the device when putting it into operation.

6.2 Installation
The following sections provide information on:
• What prerequisites have to be met to install the product properly
• How you have to position the product
• How you have to secure the product
6.2.1 Prerequisite for Mounting the Device Properly
NOTICE
Mounting the device using a holder
If at all possible, mount the flame scanner to the burner/boiler using a holder optimised by
LAMTEC for use with flame scanners. Characteristics see chapter 6.1.3 Special Points to
Note When Using the Device in Explosion-proof Areas
If you do not do this, ensure that the device is insulated in order to prevent any interference
from equalising currents (via the cable shield).
NOTICE
Mounting location
Ensure that the mounting location is easily accessible. During operation of the combustion
plant, you should be able to see the optical monitoring elements well.
WARNING!
The fiber optic flame detector versions F300K.. IR-.. FO with IR sensors may only be used with
the LAMTEC IR Fiber optic FOR...-IR or FOF...-IR.

6 Commissioning
6.2.2 Positioning
The processes that take place in combustion result in pulsing radiation (flickering of the flame).
The series of oscillations (flame frequency) involved are used for monitoring purposes.
Position the aperture used for selective monitoring in such a way that the compact flame
scanner/flame sensor picks up the root of the burner flame to be monitored (near the
mouth of the burner).
NOTICE
The burner flame must be well visible throughout the combustion plant's operating range.
Ensure that the compact flame scanner/flame sensor does not point directly at flame that
is opposite or adjacent.
This is also very important when it comes to background flames (e.g. coal, wood, waste).
1. Mount the compact flame scanner/flame sensor on the burner's viewing opening. Use the
corresponding adjustable holder for this.
The compact flame scanner/flame sensor is now mounted. Pay attention to the following
instructions for alignment.
WARNING!
Overheating of the flame sensor / flame scanner
Ensure that the max. permissible ambient temperature is not exceeded at the installation site.
Due to the location where the flame scanner is installed, increased temperature can occur on
the scanner, especially with the FFS08.
The operating mode of the burner or appropriate cooling measures must prevent the per-
mitted operating temperature from being exceeded.
If the permissible operating temperature has been exceeded, the flame scanner or flame
sensor must be replaced.
Measures must be taken to prevent such a situation.
An overheated flame sensor or flame scanner is operated outside its specification.
As a result, it is possible that the safety function is no longer active.

6 Commissioning
6.2.3 Alignment
NOTICE
Recommendation
If there is no ball joint available already , we therefore recommend using a LAMTEC adjustable
holder with the FV40-10 ball joint. The viewing direction of the flame detector must cut the
flame (see figure 6-1).
Particularly when there is an additional sight tube in the burner or the view of the flame is
considerably restricted, it is very important to align the flame scanner to optimum effect.
The longer the sight tube, the more advantageous it is that it has a larger cross-section.
NOTICE
Alignment parallel to the axis
In the axially parallel arrangement, it can be difficult to detect that the flame has gone out.
Avoid aligning the F300K in an axially parallel arrangement with the flame.
The correct positioning (alignment) of the F300K is a decisive prerequisite for high availability
or for the achievable selection quality. In any case, you should always take into account that
the aperture in the UV and UVIR (double sensor) versions is very restricted due to the lens.
Align the compact flame scanner as follows:
• Align the F300K preferably in such a way that it picks up the first third of the flame to be
monitored (high flame frequencies).
• Also align the F300K in such a way that it picks up only a small part or, even better, none
of the radiation from other burners or the re-radiation from the combustion chamber (low
flame frequencies).

6.4 Putting the Device into Operation for the First Time
6.4.1 Requirements
Prerequisites for putting the device into operation for the first time:
• The F300K must be mounted as specified in Section 6.2 Installation.
• The F300K must be aligned as specified in Section 6.2.3 Alignment.
• All electrical installations must have been tested.
• All terminal and plug-in connections must have been tested.
6.4.2 Parameter
NOTICE
Putting the device into operation
To operate the F300K safely, you have to adhere to the following sequence when putting
it into operation for the first time:
1 Release access level 1 or 2 by means of a password: Section 7.2 Enter Password.
2 Set the flame parameters of the F300K: Section 6.4.4 Setting Monitoring Parameters.
3 Set the monitoring parameters of the F300K: Section 6.4.4 Setting Monitoring Parame-
ters.
4 Check the setting of the parameters by means of the switch-off test: Section 6.4.5 Switch-
off Test.
During operation it is possible to change parameters. Parameters have a well-defined 2-digit
numbering and in most cases they are characterised by a symbol.
There are different sorts of parameters:
• Operating mode parameters for the behaviour of flame detections
• Device parameters of the flame scanner (p.ex. BUS-ID or current loop)
• Device parameters of the User Interface (p.ex. light ON time)

Checking the switch-off parameters
There is a risk of death and serious injury.
The switch-off parameters are to be verified through switch-off tests, see chapter 6.4.5

NOTICE
Aligning and setting the parameters of the flame scanner
Warning to avoid damage to property
Right from the outset, you must align the flame scanner to optimum effect and optimise its
settings. Any changes alter aspects of how the flame scanner works. Following any
change, it is necessary to check the correct switch-off parameters again by means of corresponding switch-off tests.
You generally start making settings with the flame burning at the burner's base firing-
rate and can then continue for the background signal when the burner to be monitored is
off. It is also possible to do this the other way around.
NOTICE
Note about some basic prerequisites
Y ou must have selected a mode (see the connection diagrams for hardware control). You
generally start with mode 1.
In the delivery state, mode of operation 2 and 3 are occupied with parameters, and in com-
parison to mode of operation 1, they are more insensitive with regards to flame recognition. Should you wish to use mode of operation 2 or 3, you should proceed like mode of
operation 1.
Should you wish to reset the manufacturer's factory settings, you can load that in the cur-
rent mode of operation (see section 7.6.3 Resetting the device parameter factory settings)

When the analysis starts, the optimum switching threshold is determined for the change from
flame OFF to flame ON (switch-on level) and from flame ON to flame OFF (switch-off level).
In addition to these two levels, the so-called process reliability (distance between OFF and
ON) is displayed in the result.

6.4.4.2 Hand optimization of the automatically determined trigger thresholds (levels)
WARNING!
Checking the switch-off parameters
There is a risk of death and serious injury.
The preset switch-off parameters are to be verified through switch-off tests, (see Section
6.4.5 Switch-off Test).
The change of the trigger threshold, the gain of the weighting (UV/IR) and/or the frequency
setting affects the switch-off parameters and therefore requires renewed switch-off test.
The manual optimisation of the trigger threshold is based on the last point of the data transmitted by "Automatic Optimisation" through the User Interface or F300K-Remote-Software.
If the automatic optimisation is finished, a symbol of manual optimisation would appear in the
higher level menu screen 300 .
In manual optimisation menu, a manual optimisation can be performed before or after saving

Checking the safety-related parameters by means of a switch-off test
Y ou must check the safety-related parameters of the F300K to ascertain whether they are set
in accordance with the requirements for the furnace to be monitored and to ensure compliance
with the relevant standards.
Check the parameters for adherence to the flame failure detection time
(FFDT) by means of switch-off tests in the relevant performance range and the relevant
modes of the furnace.
Make the flame go out. To do this, you have to shut off the fuel supply of the burner mon-
itored by the F300K (preferably using the quick-action valve).
Check after the flame goes out that the signal for closing the
safety shut-off device within the necessary timescale is triggered.
NOTICE
Check beforehand that the parameter for the flame failure detection time (FFDT) is set cor-
rectly on the display of the F300K (siehe Fig. 6-25 Main menu).

Switch-on time
By means of the switch-on time, short-term flame pulse rates that would result at startup of
the burner in a report of extraneous light in connection with the pre-ventilation of the burner
and/or background fire can be suppressed for the set time.
The maximum switch-on time that can be set depends on the first safety time of the burner
(e.g. 2 seconds for gas burners and 3 seconds for oil burners). If the pilot burner is being monitored at the same time, its operating hours are applicable. Note that the F300K also requires
1 second for switch-on. When everything is taken into account, you have to deduct this from
the first safety time.
Ultimately , the actual signal of the flame to be monitored must remain stable for as long as the
set switch-on time to allow a "flame ON" through connection.
Level of suppression
The level of suppression is effective in connection with the switch-on time. In the burner's startup phase, in the event of recurring pulse rates of extraneous light signals, these are more or
less additionally suppressed. After each interruption of the pulse rates, the elapsed switch-on
time is reset within a time span of 0.3 to 5 seconds.
The level of suppression applies inversely . The shorter the time, the longer it has an ef fect on
the switch-on time behaviour.
If a setting is necessary here, you should only make adjustments by small increments. If the
time is too short, it could prevent the burner from starting at all.

Once you have further optimised the startup suppression P 24 and P 25 and transferred it to
the flame scanner,you can take the "Analyse" step in image 340 (see the menu tree in section
5.2 Menu tree) to carry out further automatic optimisation of the trigger threshold for this setting. The already learned "flame ON" and "flame OFF" data is used for this.

After the "down Ioad" of the data disconnect the connection and connect it with the target device.
Then start "up Ioad".
Disconnect the connection by returning to the start screen "Device selection" (see chapter7.1
Main Menu) with several "BACK" or " disconnect the bus connection.
The connection to the target device is made by the start screen "Device selection"(see chap-
ter7.1 Main Menu)

NOTICE
The networking of multiple devices is provided for F300K from software version 1.3.0.0 and
user interface from software version 1.7.0.0.
Fig. 11-1 F300K network
The data bus in the connecting cable of the F300K allows you to link different devices:
• Multiple F300Ks
• One FB30 external user interface
• One USB/FSB adapter for F300K Remote Software
• One FSB gateway for communication with other BUS systems
• Two FSB modules for collecting external analogue and digital signals
Use the FG30 connection housing as a network node, for example.
Connecting multiple F300Ks
Multiple F300Ks can:
• Make data available for recording and analysis.
• be parameterised from an external terminal.
FB30 external user interface
You can use the external interface to:
• Parameterise the F300K.
• Save and rewrite a data set.
• Display information and use the "what would happen if?" function.
93
11 Network
As soon as you connect an FB30 user interface to the F300K, the integrated user interface is
deactivated. When you disconnect the FB30 from the F300K, the internal user interface is reactivated.
USB-Modul-Adapter – F300K Remote Software
You can use the F300K Remote Software to:
• Parameterise the F300K.
• Save and re-write a data set.
• Display information and use the "what would happen if?" function (= analysis by simulating
different parameter settings).
• Record flame data and data of FSB modules and display it for analysis.
• Save and print the parameterisation as a commissioning log.
When you connect the F300K Remote Software to the F300K, this deactivates both the UI integrated user interface and the FB30 external user interface. When you disconnect the F300K
Remote Software from the F300K, either the integrated user interface or the external user interface is reactivated.
Fieldbus Gateway
The Fieldbus Gateway can make the data of the F300K available to other bus systems.
The following external bus systems are possible:
• MODBUS RTU slave, MODBUS TCP slave
• Other bus systems depending on the available hardware
FSB modules
FSB modules can:
• Provide four analogue and digital modules.
• Send data to the F300K Remote Software for recording and analysis.
