Tronics – Det-Tronics X3300 Protect-IR Multispectrum IR Flame Detector User Manual
Page 3

IMPORTANT
Be sure to read and understand the entire
instruction manual before installing or operating the
flame detection system.
WARNING
Do not open the detector assembly in a hazardous
area when power is applied. The detector contains
no user serviceable components and should never
be opened. Doing so could disturb critical optical
alignment and calibration parameters, possibly
causing serious damage. This type of damage
could be undetected and could result in failure to
see a fire and/or false alarm.
CAUTION
The wiring procedures in this manual are intended
to ensure proper functioning of the device under
normal conditions. However, because of the many
variations in wiring codes and regulations, total
compliance to these ordinances cannot be
guaranteed. Be certain that all wiring complies
with the NEC as well as all local ordinances. If in
doubt, consult the authority having jurisdiction
before wiring the system. Installation must be
done by a properly trained person.
CAUTION
To prevent unwanted actuation or alarm,
extinguishing devices must be disconnected prior
to performing detection system tests or
maintenance.
ATTENTION
Remove protective cap from front of the detector
before activating the system.
ATTENTION
Observe precautions for handling electrostatic
sensitive devices.
ATTENTION
The X3300 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.
DESCRIPTION
The X3300 Protect•ir 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 is suitable for use in indoor and outdoor
applications with NEMA 4X classification as well as
Class I, II and III explosion-proof ratings.
The X3300 contains three IR sensors, signal processing
circuitry, and fire and fault relays. A tricolor LED on the
detector faceplate indicates normal, fire alarm, and fault
conditions. Factory configurable options include:
• Automatic or Manual Optical Integrity (
oi)
• Fire and Fault Relay Operation
– Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.)
Contacts
– Normally Energized or Normally De-Energized (Fire
relay)
– Latching or Non-latching.
• Optional 4 to 20 mA output.
