1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The Rosemount 975HR Multi-spectrum Infrared Hydrogen Flame Detector is specifically
designed for the detection of hydrocarbon and hydrogen flames. It detects hydrocarbon­based fuel and gas fires at long distances with the highest immunity to false alarms. The
detector can detect a gasoline pan fire at 215 ft. (65 m) or a hydrogen flame at 100 ft. (30
m) in less than five seconds.

All Rosemount 975 series detectors include a heated optical window for improved
performance in icing, snow, and condensation conditions.

The operator can easily adapt detection performance to all environments, applications,
and requirements by changing the detector's configuration parameters. Adjusting these
parameters, as well as performing other maintenance and monitoring tasks, is possible by
means of RS-485 based Modbus® communication or HART® communication (in models
with 0-20 mA output).

The detector enclosure is ATEX certified Exd flameproof with an integral, segregated, rear,
Exe terminal compartment (avoiding exposure of the sensors and electronics to
surrounding environment). Hence the combined approval:

Ex II 2G D
Ex db eb op is IIC T4 G
Ex tb op is IIIC T96 °C Db
(-55 °C ≤ Ta ≤ +75 °C)
or
Ex II 2G D
Ex db eb op is IIC T4 Gb
Ex tb op is IIIC T106 °C Db
(-55 °C ≤ Ta ≤ +85 °C)
The flame detector is designed to operate as a stand-alone unit directly connected to an

alarm system or an automatic fire extinguishing system. The detector can also be part of a
more complex system where many detectors and other devices are integrated through a
common control unit.

1.4 Principles of operation

1.4.1 Fire detection principle

Emerson designed this flame detector to detect hydrocarbon flames that produce CO2 in
their combusion process and non-hydrocarbon flames that produce mainly water vapor

Rosemount 975HR 11

Introduction Reference Manual

Legacy

November 2021 00809-0100-4976

(H2O) from inorganic fuels, for example, hydrogen, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid,
hydrochloric acid, etc.

The detector's principle of operation is based on the patented spectral analysis technology
that identifies the infrared spectral signature of fire products, namely the hot CO2 spectral
emissions band at 4.2 to 4.7 microns and the hot water (H2O) spectral emission band at

2.7 to 3.0 microns. The detector also analyzes additional spectral bands (above and below

these bands) for background interferences.
The spectral analysis incorporates several detection algorithms, according to several types

of fire events, taking into account simultaneous detection of both CO2 and H2O peaks or
only one of them, as well as flickering analysis at frequencies typical to these flames. Only
when all the parameters of the spectral analysis and the flickering analysis meet the
predetermined values is a fire condition identified and the fire alarm activated.

When exposed to non-fire radiation sources, these parameters do not identify a fire
condition, and the detector does not react.

1.4.2 Heated optics

The flame detector uses heated optics. The heater increases the temperature of the
optical surface by 5 to 8 °F (3 to 5 °C) above the ambient temperature to improve
performance in icing, condensation, and snow conditions.

The heated optics can be set to one of the following:

• Off, not operating.

• On continuously.

• Automatic, per temperature change (default): the operator can define the start

temperature below which the window is heated. The default is 41 °F (5 °C). The
operator can define this temperature between 32 °F (0 °C) and 122 °F (50 °C). The
heating stops when the temperature is 27 °F (15 °C) above the start temperature.

For more information, see Configure the detector.

1.4.3 HART® protocol

The flame detector uses the HART protocol.
HART communication is a bi-directional industrial field communication protocol used to

communicate between intelligent field instruments and host systems. HART is the global
standard for smart process instrumentation, and the majority of smart field devices
installed in plants worldwide are HART-enabled. HART is available in output configurations
1A, 2A, and 3A (see Output configuration).

HART technology is easy to use and very reliable.
Through the HART connection, you can do the following:

• Detector setup

• Detector troubleshooting

• Detector health and status

For more details, refer to Rosemount 975 HART Communication Manual

(00809-0200-4975).

1.4.4 RS-485 Modbus

For more advanced communications, the flame detector has an RS-485 Modbus­compatible output that provides data communication from a network (up to 247
detectors) to a host computer or universal controller for central monitoring. This feature
allows for reduced installation costs, easy maintenance, and local or remote diagnostic
tools.

1.5 Performance considerations

1.5.1 Detection sensitivity

Detection sensitivity is the maximum distance at which the detector reliably detects a
specific size of fire and typical type of fuel (standard fire).

Standard fire

Defined as 1 ft.2 (0.1 m2) n-heptane pan fire with maximum wind speed of 6.5 ft./sec
(2 m/sec).

Sensitivity ranges

The detector has four user-selectable sensitivity ranges. For each range, there are two
response levels:

• Warning (Pre-alarm)

• Alarm

The detection distance for the Warning level is approximately 10 percent higher than the

Alarm distance.

Alarm response times for a standard fire at a specified range are shown in Table 1-1.

For some typical ambient conditions, the Zeta parameter as defined in NFPA 72 for the
detector is 0.005 (1/meter).

Note

Zeta parameters may vary significantly with changes in temperature, air pressure,
humidity, visibility conditions, etc.

Other fuels

The detector reacts to other types of fire as follows:

• The baseline fire refers to n-heptane 1 ft.2 (0.1 m2) and is defined as 100 percent

sensitivity.

• For fuel fire: standard pan fire size: 1 ft.2 (0.1 m2)

• For gas flame: 30 in. (0.75 m) high, 10 in. (0.25 m) wide plume fire

• Maximum response time: 10 sec.

Status Description

Rosemount 975HR 23

Normal Normal operation.

BIT Built-in test being performed.

Warning Fire detected - changed to Warning (pre-alarm state).

Alarm Fire detected - changed to Fire Alarm state.

Latched alarm (optional) The alarm outputs remain latched on following detection of a fire

that has already been extinguished.

BIT fault A fault is detected during built-in test sequence or other electric

failure. The detector will continue to detect for fire.

Fault A fault is detected when the power supply is too low or due to a

software fault or electrical failure. The detector will not detect fire
in this condition.

(1) The auxiliary relay can be activated at the Warning level or Alarm level, depending on programmed function.
(2) The alarm outputs are activated while alarm conditions exist and will stop approximately five seconds after a fire is no

longer detected.

(3) The Alarm state can be optionally latched via programmed function. (Default is non-latching).
(4) The detector will remain in BIT Fault state until it has passed a successful built-in test.

Red Constant On On Off 20 mA

Note

The outputs depend on the output configurations.

Optional latching

Alarms are set as non-latching by default. However, the detector includes a latched alarm
output capability, which operates according to the programmed function.

If selected, upon detection of a fire, the detection signal is latched until the operator
manually resets the detector (disconnecting the power supply or performing a manual
built-in test [see Manual built-in test]).

Latching affects the alarm relay, 0-20 mA output, and the alarm LED. The auxiliary relay is
latched only when the programmable function Auxiliary Relay is set to Yes.

NOTICE

The auxiliary relay is available only in models with output configurations - 1RXXXXX and
2RXXXXX.
The 0-20 mA is available only in models with output configurations - 1AXXXXX, 2AXXXXX,
and 3AXXXXX.
