FSX Flame Detectors
Fire Sentry FS System 10 and FS10-R

A high-speed
microprocessor based fire detection and process control system specially
designed for liquid and powder coating applications, the Fire Sentry FS
System 10™ quickly detects the presence of a flame, reacts by
initiating a shutdown of the electrostatic finishing process in a matter
of milliseconds; and effectively interrupts the fire before residues
and wet paint films can ignite.
Features & Benefits
- Multi-spectral digital electro-optical infrared fire detector
- Meets requirements of NFPA 33
- Unique two-stage ALERT and FIRE ALARM response
Quick Specs
- Immune to false alarms caused by arcs or corona discharges
- Built-in automatic "through the lens" self-test
- Not sensitive to background radiant energy sources such as paint heaters
Product Overview
Fire Sentry FS System 10™
A high-speed microprocessor based fire detection and process control
system specially designed for liquid and powder coating applications,
the Fire Sentry FS System 10™ quickly detects the presence of a flame,
reacts by initiating a shutdown of the electrostatic finishing process
in a matter of milliseconds; and effectively interrupts the fire before
residues and wet paint films can ignite.
The Fire Sentry FS System 10 is the only system that provides a two-stage response:
an ALERT for spray gun "fireball" type fires and if the fire continues, a FIRE ALARM is declared in 4-5 seconds.
The Fire Sentry FS System 10 is vastly superior to conventional
detectors due to the electro-optical quantum infrared sensors array and
the ability to accurately detect fires without false alarms.The FS
System 10 is available in both wall-mount controller and card controller
configurations.(For additional information on card controller, consult
the factory.)
The detector is mounted in an explosion-proof housing.The wall-mounted
controller is a self-contained system mounted in a NEMA 12 enclosure
with LCD display and LED status lights.Three 10-amp mechanical relays
have been incorporated for shutting down the paint flow, electrostatics
and conveyor.Event history and fire tech data are reported by the
detector in real time and data, then stored in the controller’s
non-volatile memory.FirePic™ and SnapShot™ data can be downloaded from
the RS-232 port of the controller from your PC.The controller may
operate with one or two detectors.
Fire Sentry FS10-R Unitized
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 IR™, 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.
