1.1 OVERVIEW
The Model 3600I is a flame detector that utilizes improved IR3 technology to provide
state-of-the-art fire protection. The 3600I uses patented digital signal processing to
analyze the spectral and dynamic characteristics of the measured infrared radiation, to
identify fire events with exceptional sensitivity and extreme immunity to false alarms.
3600I
1 INTRODUCTION
All 3600 series detectors include a heated optical window for improved performance in
icing, snow and condensation conditions.
Detection performance can be easily adapted to all environments, applications and
requirements, by changing the detector’s configuration parameters. Adjusting these
parameters, as well and performing other maintenance and monitoring tasks, is
possible by means of RS485-based Modbus communication or HART communication
(in models with 0-20mA output).
The detector enclosure is ATEX certified EExd flameproof with an integral, segregated,
rear, EExe terminal compartment (avoiding exposure of the sensors and electronics to
surrounding environment). Hence the combined approval EExde IIB + H2 T5 (75°C) or
T4 (85°C).
The 3600 detectors are 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 a
part of a more complex system, where many detectors and other devices are integrated
through a common control unit.

1.4 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
This section describes the 3600I principles of operation and includes:
• Hydrocarbon Fire Detection, page 4
• Heated Optics, page 5
• HART Protocol, page 5
• RS-485 Modbus, page 5
• Product Certification, page 6
1.4.1 HYDROCARBON FIRE DETECTION
The Model 3600I detector is designed to detect flames in which carbon dioxide (CO2) is
produced in the combustion process. These include all hydrocarbon flames, as well as
other types of flames and burning materials such as wood or alcohol.
The detector’s principle of operation is based on patented IR3 technology. This
technology identifies the unique spectral signature that hot CO
namely a peak of the intensity at wavelengths 4.2 to 4.7µ.
has in the infrared (IR),

Page: 4
The IR3 technique utilizes few infrared sensors, each sensitive to its own wavelength
range. The first sensor is sensitive to wavelengths within the emission peak of hot CO
The other two sensors are sensitive to wavelengths above and below this peak. The
fourth IR sensor is sensitive to a different band within the emission peak of hot CO
the event of fire, the signal measured in the first sensor is significantly higher than those
measured in the second two sensors. In order to issue a fire alarm, the detector
requires that this occurs, as well as other conditions (for example, radiation is flickering
in frequencies typical of flames). The signal of this sensor is compared to those of the
other three. This increases sensitivity for some types of flames. (For example, gas
flames).If exposed to non-fire radiation sources, the specific conditions required does
not occur, and the detector does not react.
1.4.2 HEATED OPTICS
The 3600 Flame Detectors use heated optics. The heater increases the temperature of
the optical surface by 5-8°F (~3-5°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:
• Not operated
• On continuously
3600I
.

. In

•Automatic, per temperature change (default): you can define the start temperature
below which the window is heated. (The default is 41°F (5°C). This temperature can
be defined between 32°F (0°C) to 122°F (50°C). The heating stops when the
temperature is 27°F (15°C) above the start temperature.
For more information, see Configuring your Detector on page 27.
1.4.3 HART PROTOCOL
The 3600 Flame Detectors use 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 wiring
options 2 and 3, see Table 1.
HART technology is easy to use and very reliable.
Through the HART connection, you are able to perform:
• Detector set-up
• Detector troubleshooting
• Detector health and status
For more details, refer to the HART Manual TM 777030.
1.4.4 RS-485 MODBUS
For more advanced communications, the 3600 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.

1.5.1 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).
Page: 6
1.5.1.1 STANDARD FIRE
Defined as a 1ft2 / 0.1m2 n-heptane pan fire, with maximum wind speed of 6.5 ft/sec (2
m/sec).
1.5.1.2 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% higher than the
ALARM distance.
Alarm response times for a standard fire at a specified range are shown Table 2.

3600I
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, and so on.
1.5.1.3 OTHER FUELS
The detector reacts to other types of fire as follows:
• The baseline fire refers to n-heptane 1ft
• For fuel fire – standard pan fire size: 1ft
• For gas flame – 20 inch (0.5m) high, 8 inch (0.2m) width plume fire.
To prevent false alarms, the detector will not alarm or react to the radiation sources
specified in Table 4.
