Because you need to be absolutely sure!
To be fully secure against fire, flame detector self-testing is not
enough. According to most local jurisdictional authorities and
as required for SIL2 compliance, you need to test and ensure
the integrity of your entire flame detection system at least once
per year. That means performing a full system loop test from
the detector, through the wiring to the controller, and up to the
actual alarm notification. The only way to do so, without lighting
a real fire, is with an external flame simulator.
Complete End-to-End Testing Using our Flame Simulator
The FS-1100 FLAME SIMULATOR is the essential complimentary tool to the self-testing capabilities of your SharpeyeTM IR3 Flame Detectors. It brings fire prevention safety to a higher level by giving you the ability to fully test the operational readiness of your entire fire detection system:
- Test the integrity of all the system components: all alarm outputs, all cabling and connections and the fire alarm panel functionality.
- Test clear line of sight: By using the Spectrex Flame Simulator, you will ensure that no object is obstructing the field of view, and that the detector’s window lens is not obscured.
Therefore, by simulating a fire that actually triggers the detector outputs, the model FS-1100 verifies the correct operation of the IR3 detector, performs an essential end-to-end loop test and verifies window cleanliness.
The robust and reliable FS-1100 Flame Simulator allows remote
testing of flame detectors, which are often located in difficult to access
and/or classified hazardous areas (Zone 1, Zone 21).
Key Benefits
- Long-range flame detector activation – at a range up to 40ft (12m) – a 33% increase compared to previous simulator models.
- Reduced maintenance costs with easy access for testing detectors, in hard to reach places, from floor/deck level without the need for scaffolding or ladders
- Highly portable – for hand held operation by a single operator
- Easy aiming using laser diode
- ATEX/IECEx approved for use in Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas
- Single charge is sufficient to test up to 1,000 detectors
FS-1100 Flame Simulator at Work
The Spectrex flame simulator emits IR radiation in a unique pattern corresponding to, and recognizable as fire by your SharpEye Flame Detector. This allows the detector to be tested under “real” fire conditions without the associated risks of an open flame.
