Important
Be sure to read and understand the entire
instruction manual before installing or operating
the flame detection system. Any deviation from
the recommendations in this manual may impair
system performance and compromise safety.
attEntIon
The X3302 includes the Automatic
oi ®
(Optical
Integrity) feature — a calibrated performance test
that is automatically performed once per minute
to verify complete detector operation capabilities.
testing with an external test lamp is not
approved or required.
DESCRIPTION
The X3302 brings multispectrum infrared (MIR) flame
detection to hydrogen-bearing fuels lacking carbon such
as hydrogen, arsine, silane and ammonia as well as light
hydrocarbons like methanol and methane. The result is
unsurpassed flame sensitivity and discrimination of non-
flame sources in situations where existing multispectrum
IR detectors are unsuitable.
Utilizing the X3301’s multi-patented signal processing
algorithms, the X3302 provides a breakthrough in flame
detection of hazardous materials that produce mostly
water vapor, and little or no Carbon Dioxide (CO
2
) in the
combustion process. The detection capability of the
X3302 is double that of traditional UV and UVIR detectors.
At the same time, it attains complete solar resistance and
insensitivity to artificial lights, lightning, and “blackbody”
radiation, which still plague other detection technologies.
The X3302 with pulse/relay output is designed for use
in controller based systems. In addition to use in new
systems, it can serve as a direct field replacement
for Detector Electronics Corporation’s (Det-Tronics
®
)
controller based flame detectors that generate a pulse
output (not compatible with R7484 and R7409B/C).
When used as a field replacement, all operating features
of the current controller are retained in addition to gaining
the advanced features of the X3302 Flame Detector. In
typical applications, the four wire X3302 can utilize all
existing system wiring.
The detector has Division and Zone explosion-proof
ratings and is suitable for use in indoor and outdoor
applications.
A tri-color LED on the detector faceplate indicates
normal condition and notifies personnel of fire alarm
or fault conditions.
Microprocessor controlled heated optics increase
resistance to moisture and ice.
The X3302 housing is available in copper-free aluminum
or stainless steel, with NEMA/Type 4X and IP66/IP67
rating.
