With the increase in demand for effective, interactive and non-intrusive systems, Net Safety has released
its HART for Flame product providing HART communication with distinct flame detectors. This involves
HART Communication with the Phoenix Triple IR, UV/IR and UV Flame Detectors along with the
Hydrogen Flame Detection line of UV and UV/IR Flame Detectors.
The introduction of HART Communication with flam e detecto rs allows convenient access to the Flame
Detector’s features and provides easy on the spot monitoring. This is important for effective and reliable
maintenance. Access to the HART menu structure and functions of the flame detector is gained by using
the HART Communicator. This may also be done using and any other HART communication devices that
are compatible with the enhanced device descript ion language (EDDL) of Net Safety’s Flame Detectors.
Product components:
This HART for Flame product has two component products; a flame detector with Analog /AnalogDigital output alongside a HART Communication Output inter fa ce . Th is HART Outpu t ci rcuitry is
enclosed in Net Safety’s Explosion Proof Multipurpose Junction Box and allows users to choose AnalogHart or Analog-Hart with Relays outputs. The HART for Flame product is available in Aluminum and
Stainless Steel.
Choice of flame detector:
The model flame detector used with the HART Output interface will depend on users’ choice and nature
of the application. In specific cases users may want to detect hydrogen based fi re s in which case the
UV/IRS-H2-A/AR or the UVS-H2-A/AR flame detector based HART for Flame product would be
suitable. In other cases users may want to use either the IR3S-A/AD, UV/IRS-A/AR or the UVS-A/AR
flame detector based HART for Flame product to detect Hy drocarbon based fires. Refer to available
models offered below.
Available Model HART for Flame Product (this includes HART Flame Junction Box interface):
UV/IRS-AH/AHR, UVS-AH/AHR, UV/IRS-H2-AH/AHR, UVS-H2-AH/AHR
ATEX models: UV/IRS-AH-X/AHR-X, UVS-AH-X/AHR-X, UV/IRS-H2-AH-X/AHR, UVS-H2-AHX/AHR-X
Both CSA/FM and ATEX models are available in Aluminum and Stainless Steel.
Available Model HART Flame Junction Box interface:
After choosing the type of flame detector based on the HART for Flame product, the system should be
configured. This is done via DIP Switch 2 (SW2) located on the HART Flame Junction Box PCB. See
Table 1 when configuring the system.
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check components against the enclosed packing
list and inspect all components for obvious damage such as broken or loose parts. If you find any
components missing or damaged, notify the representative or Net Safety Monitoring immediately.
1.3 Mounting
The HART Flame Junction Box has three ¾ inch-14 NPT conduit entries. The flame detector will be
connected to one of these entries. Connection of conduit and cable glands to remaining conduit entries
should be done so by use of appropriate tools. A 6mm Hex Key is required for installing or removing
conduit entry plugs. The junction box has mounting holes for installing directly on a wall or to a pole as
desired. The junction box is supplied with one ATEX stopping plug.
1.4 Installation Considerations
• Point flame detector toward where the flame is expected.
• Ensure an unobstructed view of the area to be monitored.
• Employ more than one flame detector and HART Flame Junction Box to ensure the hazard is fully
covered.
• Mount the flame detector and HART Flame Junction Box a few feet (about 1 metre) below the ceiling
so the flame detector can respond before being blocked by smoke accumulation at the ceiling.
• If dense smoke is likely to accumulate prior to flame (as in an ele ctric al fire ), supp lem ent flame
detector(s) with other protection such as Net Safety Monitoring Airborne Particle Monitor.
• The flame detector should be accessible for cleaning the windowand reflector surfaces.
• Tilt the flame detector downward a minimum of 10 to 20
could obscure the detector’s viewing window.
• Securely mount the flame detector and HART Flame Junction Box so as to reduce vibration as much
as possible.
• When located outside, the flame detector’s sensitivity can be reduced by heavy fog, rain and/or ice.
• Consider shortening the time delay settings when smoke is expected to accumulate before or during a
fire. See relevant manual.
• Reduce sensitivity setting if false alarms, related to surrounding activities, occur.
• When installed near or on water (such as an off shore platform), be sure to take into account the low
horizon level when tilting detector downward.
For more on installation considerations on flame detectors refer to specific flame detector manual.

1.5 Wiring
Warning Wiring must comply with all applicable regulations relating to the installation of
electrical equipment in a hazardous area and is the responsibility of the installer. Proper shielding and
grounding procedures, for the specific area must be followed. Consult local electrical code and /or
qualified personnel before w iring .
Warning Do not open the HART Flame Junction Box or flame detector in a classified area (Do
not open when an explosive atmosphere may be present). The area should be de-classified prior to
opening.
WarningTo fully avoid any environmental exposure (water ingress), the use of seals is
recommended, especially for installations that use high-pressure or steam cleaning devices in proximity to
the HART Flame Junction Box and flame detector.
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 conduit. Joints are seldom
enough to prevent 'breathing'.
Consult qualified personnel on sealing requirements relating to equipment, application and local
regulations.

flame detector with HART Flame Junction Box enclosure.

SECTION 2: Operation
The model flame detector will determine the model HART for flame unit being used. Specific
combinations of SW2 positions (DIP Switch 2 positions) have been assigned for each available type of
flame detector. Selecting DIP Switch 2 positions correctly will determine the operation of the unit. See
Table 1 and Figure 2 or Figure 3. Once the system has been powered up, confirm operation by referencing
the specific Flame Detector manual. Meter Test Jacks are available on the HART Flame Junction box
PCB to check and monitor the current output (4-20mA). If the HART / Relay model junction box is being
used, note that the relays are dry contacts and are Form C SPDT rated 5 Amperes at 30 VDC/250AC.
If the HART Communicator is to be placed in the current loop, ensure that the HART Jumper (J5) is in
the factory default position (pins jumpered), then place a 250 Ohm resistor in the current loop and connect
the communicator across the resistor. Refer to Figure 2 or Figure 3 along with Current Loop power block
diagrams and / or Typical Field wiring diagrams. If the HART Communicator is to be used with the
HART Port connector for direct or remote communication, see Section 4.
2.1 Current Loop power configurations
The two current loop power configurations available are the Non –Isolated power configuration and the
Isolated power configuration. When using the Non-Isolated power configuration (Non-Isolated current
loop), the Non –ISO / ISO select jumper (JP1) located on the HART Flame Junction box PCB should
remain in its default pos it io n . ‘ISO’ on the power terminal side is not used in this configuration. For the
Isolated power configuration (Isolated current loop), JP1 should be placed over pin 1 and pin 2 and a
separate power supply used to supply +24VDC to ‘ISO’ on the power terminal side. See figure 2 or figure
3 for JP1’s location. Also refer to Current Loop power block diagrams and / or Typical Field wiring
diagrams.
Note: By factory default JP1 (Non –ISO / ISO select jumper) is connected across pin 2 and pin 3 (NonIsolated power configuration). Also by factory default the HART Jumper (J5) is connected (pins are
jumpered).

When using the specific model flame detectors (IR3S-AD, UV/IRS-A, UV/IRS-H2-A, UVS-A, UVS-H2A, IR3S-A), corresponding SW2 (detector configuration DIP Switch located on HART Flame Jbox PCB)
positions have to be set. The correct combinations of position 1 and position 2 have to be made in order
to have proper operation of the flame detec tor and HART or HART/Relay model Junction Box. See Table
