IMPORTANT
Be sure to read and understand the entire instruction manual before
installing or operating the flame detection system.
The AutroFlame Multispectrum Flame Detector X33AF PL utilises
advanced signal processing algorithms, supported by an embedded
32-bit microprocessor, to provide continuous protection in the
presence of false alarm sources and environments with infrared
radiation present.
The detector has built-in PowerLoop technology which makes the
detector capable of being powered and communicating with AutroSafe
Integrated Fire and Gas panels (IFG) on the same pair of wire, saving
cable cost and weight. Each detector has a built-in short circuit
isolator; hence no detectors will be lost because of a single break or
short circuit in the PowerLoop lines.
All alarms and faults will be signalled via PowerLoop.
The PowerLoop is a two-wire power and signalling bus connected in
ring topology and is galvanically isolated from the rest of the system.
The detector does not require any local power supply.
The detector has a detection range to gasoline of over 60m, and a
solid cone of vision for methane.
The X33AF PL includes the Automatic Optical Integrity (oi) feature - a
calibrated performance test that is automatically performed once per
minute to verify complete detector operation capabilities. No testing
with an external test lamp is required.
The X33AF PL is a multispectrum infrared (IR) flame detector. It
provides unsurpassed detection of fires from light to heavy
hydrocarbon fuels combined with the highest degree of false alarm
rejection. The detector has explosion-proof ratings and is suitable for
use in indoor and outdoor applications.
The X33AF PL contains three IR sensors with their associated signal
processing circuitry. A multi-colour LED on the detector faceplate
indicates detector status condition. Microprocessor controlled heated
optics increase resistance to moisture and ice.
The X33AF PL housing is available in aluminium or stainless steel,
with NEMA 4X and IP66 rating.
