IMPORTANT INFORMATION............................................................................. 2
Net Safety’s Flame Watch has two component products; a Flame Detector and Video Camera mounted as a unit. With this
combination and configuration the user is allowed to monitor a possible fire as well as intrusion in a specific coverage area.
Furthermore, the user is provided with options in selecting the model Flame Detector to be used with the Video Camera.
The FW-IR3S is the valuable integration of a multi-spectral (3IR) Infrared Flame Detector and a Video Camera which is mounted in
an explosion proof housing. The FW-UV/IRS and FW-UVS models are combinations of the Video Camera with the UV/IRS Flame
Detector or the UVS Flame Detector.
The (IR3S) Phoenix, Net Safety’s latest flame detection product, is a triple spectrum IR detector designed to respond to infrared radiation
emitted by a wide range of hydrocarbon based fires. Refer to the (IR3S) Phoenix’s manual (MAN-0044) for detailed operation.
The UV/IRS Flame Detector incorporates UV and IR detection circuitry to detect specific wavelengths in the UV and IR spectrum
whenever a fire is present. This detector is designed to detect a wide range of hydrocarbon based fires. Refer to MAN-0015 for detailed
operation. The UVS Flame Detector is also a member of Net Safety’s line of fire detection products and is designed to detect a wide range
of hydrocarbon, hydrogen and metal based fires. See MAN-0039 for more details.
The type of Flame Detector used, which determines the model Flame Watch, is dependent on the user’s choice, environment and application.
The VID-C or VID-C-50 explosion proof Video Camera is ideally suited for safety monitoring systems in hazardous locations. The colour video
camera is mounted in an explosion proof housing and delivers a composite video output for use with most VCR's or video monitors. The wide
viewing angle provides for large area of coverage by one camera. Refer to the Video Camera’s manual (MAN-0036) for detailed operation.
The Flame-Watch’s two components are available with standard explosion proof (XP) housing. As a result, the Flame-Watch provides integrated
security and performance required for high risk industrial installations.

1.3 Unpacking
Remove all packaging components from the box. Carefully remove the Flame-Watch unit from its box and hold by the Junction box to
prevent damage.
WARNING: The alignment of the Video Camera and Flame Detector has been factory set, care must be taken when
handling the Flame-Watch system. Do not hold or apply excessive force to the mounted video camera and flame detector.
Field Installation
1.4
WARNING: Compliance with regulations is the responsibility of the installer. Wiring must comply with applicable regulations
relating to the installation of electrical equipment in a hazardous area.
1.4.1 Wiring
The use of shielded cable running through conduit is highly recommended for power input and signal wires to protect against interference caused
by extraneous electrical 'noise'.
equipment.
1.4.2 Grounding
Proper shielding and grounding procedures, for the specific area of installation, should always be followed.
Use Net Safety’s lens cleaner to clean the lens of the Flame Detector and Video Camera before installation and operation.
When cable is installed in conduit, the conduit must not be used for wiring to other electrical
1.4.3 Sealing
Water-proof and explosion-proof conduit seals are recommended to prevent the accumulation of moisture within the junction box.
Seals should be located as close to the device as possible and not more than 18 inches
may require an additional seal where conduit enters a non-hazardous area. When pouring a seal, use a fibre dam to ensure proper
formation of the seal. Seals should never be poured at temperatures below freezing. The jacket and shielding of the cable shoul d be
stripped back to permit the seal to form around the individual wires. This will prevent air, gas and water leakage through the inside
of the shield and into the enclosure. It is recommended that explosion-proof drains and conduit breathers be used. Changes in
temperature and barometric pressure can cause 'breathing' which allows moist air to enter the conduit.

SECTION 2: CONNECTING FLAME WATCH
2.1 IR3S Flame Watch Junction Box Terminal Board
The type Flame Detector and hence model Flame Watch chosen will depend on the particular application, environment and response needed.
The IR3S model Flame Detectors available are analog, digital, analog/digital and relay. If the IR3S Flame Watch is being used , refer to Figure 3
and 4. The Flame Detector and Video Camera wires(except for the RCA cable) are factory fitted to the terminal board. User interface is made to
terminal blocks J4 and J5. The male RCA video ouput cable from the camera should be connected to the user’s video monitoring system.
For operational details on each product, see specific manual.

The UVS or UV/IRS Flame Detector can be used instead of the IR3S Flame Detector as a part of the Flame Watch configuration.
The UVS or UV/IRS model Flame Detector is available as a analog unit or analog with relays. If the UVS or UV/IRS Flame Detector is
being used, refer to Figure 5 and 6 below. The detector and camera wires(except for the RCA cable) are factory fitted to the terminal board.
The terminal blocks (J4 and J5) are designated for user interface(power, output, etc). The male RCA video output cable from the camera should
be connected to the user’s video monitoring system. For operational details on each product, see specific manual.

2.3 DIP Switch(SW1) Positions
The UVS-AR and UV/IRS-AR Flame Watch Terminal Board has a two position DIP Switch to define the Coil and Latch Status for the Fire Relay.
Refer to Figure 7 for DIP Switch positions.
The default setting for the Fire Relay is Normally De-energized/Non-latching. The Fault Relay is factory set to Normally Energized/Non-latching and
cannot be modified.

The IR3S Flame Watch Terminal Board doesn’t have selectable DIP swithes on the junction box terminal board. Relay conditions and coil status are
determined by the DIP Swithes and jumper on the electronic IR3S Flame Detector module, see the IR3S manual (MAN-0044).

2.4 Troubleshooting
The Flame Watch is not designed to be repaired in the field. If a problem should develop, carefully check for correct
wiring and refer to individual product manuals. If it is determined that the problem is caused by an electronic defect,
the device should be returned to the factory for repair. See ‘How to Return Equipment’.
2.5 Maintenance
To ensure reliable viewing and detecting, it is important to periodically clean the camera and flame detector window. Although
the frequency of this cleaning is determined by the requirements of the particular process, it is recommended that the Flame Watch
(flame detector and camera) be cleaned every year. See individual product manuals on maintenance.

APPENDIX
Appendix A: ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICE - ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the transfer, between bodies, of an electrostatic charge caused by direct contact or induced by an electrostatic
field.
The most common cause of ESD is physical contact. Touching an object can
cause a discharge of electrostatic energy—ESD! If the charge is sufficient and
occurs near electronic components, it can
In some cases, damage is instantaneous and an immediate malfunction occurs.
However, symptoms are not always immediate—performance may be marginal
or seemingly normal for an indefinite period of time, followed by a sudden
failure.
To eliminate potential ESD damage, review the following guidelines:
xHandle boards by metal shields—taking care not to touch electronic components
xWear grounded wrist or foot straps, or ESD shoes or heel grounders to dissipate unwanted static energy
xPrior to handling boards, dispel any charge in your body or equipment
xEnsure components are transported and stored in static safe packaging
xWhen returning boards, carefully package in the original carton and static protective wrapping
xEnsure ALL personnel are educated and trained in ESD Control Procedures
damage or destroy those components.
In general, exercise accepted and proven precautions normally observed when handling electrostatic sensitive devices.
A warning label is placed on the packaging, identifying product using electrostatic sensitive semiconductor devices.
