Our fire detection systems have been
protecting electrostatic paint spray
booths worldwide – with millions of
booth operational hours and not a single
fire loss.

The Fire Sentry FS10-R Unitized is a multi-spectral infrared electro-optical
flame detector designed specifically for liquid paint or powder spray booth
applications. Based on the Fire Sentry FS System 10, the FS10-R Unitized
flame detector meets the need for a stand-alone capability and complies with
the NFPA 33 Standard. The WideBand IRTM, NearBand IR, and Visible sensors
combined with the advanced signal procession provide optimum performance.
High spend fire response with optional factory sensitivity settings and alarm
outputs provide the best, proven solution to fire detection for the
Finishing Industry.
Operation
The Fire Sentry FS10-R Unitized detector is designed to operate with any
approved fire alarm panel. Interface with fire alarm panel is accomplished
using the detector’s ALARM, ALERT and FAULT relays.
When power is applied, a self-test is automatically performed and the
FAULT relay is energized to show that the detector has no faults. The
front LED blinks every ten seconds to indicate normal operation.
In normal operation, the continuous spectral data stream of information
from the sensor array is analyzed by the microprocessor. With two
distinct relay outputs, the Fire Sentry FS10-R Unitized provides an
ALERT output for spray gun “fireball” type fires, and if the fire continues
a FIRE ALARM is declared in 4-5 seconds.
The detector stores all the pre-fire spectral data from the sensor array in
non-volatile memory for retrieval and evaluation. The Fire Sentry FS10-R
stores the last six FirePicTM events, each 8 seconds long; and 200 event
histories with time and date stamp. The FirePic data can then be used to
postulate the cause of the fire.
