Important Notice Regarding
1231 Probe Option - FIL-3
WARNING: The only identifiable standard for flame arresters for general use is British
Standard BS EN 12874:2001. British Standard BS EN 12874:2001 refers to an operating
environment up to 150 Degrees Centigrade.
The FIL-3 device optionally fitted to 1231 Heated Zirconia Probes (the “Probes" or "Probe")
operate in an environment considerably greater than 150 Degrees Centigrade.
Therefore, we know of no Australian, British, European or USA standard applicable to
flame arresters or their testing above 150 degrees Centigrade. Consequently, the FIL-3
device cannot be certified as a safety device.
The probe is only one of several potential sources of ignition. Extreme care is required
when using the probes during the start up processes of a combustion appliance.
The Teledyne Burner Interlock Relay facility, which is a standard part of the Teledyne
transmitter, is designed to be wired to the main safety shut-off fuel valves in a way that can
shutdown the probe heater when the fuel valves are closed.
The risk of ignition of flammable gas mixture at the hot end of the Probe can only be
minimised by correct use, maintenance and operation of the FIL-3 device. The user of the
FIL-3 device is responsible for verification and maintenance and correct use and operation
of the FIL-3 device.
THE USER AGREES THAT IT USES THE PROBE AND THE FIL-3 DEVICE AT ITS
SOLE RISK. TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMETS , TO THE FULL EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, GIVES NO WARRANTIES OR ASSURANCES AND EXCLUDES
ALL LIABILITY (INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE) IN RELATION TO THE
PROBE AND THE FIL-3 DEVICE.
The user must ensure that it correctly follows all instructions in relation to the Probe and
FIL-3 device, correctly understands the specifications of the Probe and FIL-3 device and
ensures that the Probe and FIL-3 device are regularly inspected and maintained.
FIL-3 equipped Probes should be inspected at least once a year for corrosion and more
frequently if there is any reason to suspect that corrosion may have occurred.
