Structure and function
3 Overview
3.1 Overview
The flame detector measures infrared radiation and can therefore detect organic
material fires with and without smoke.
The table below shows what types of fire the flame detector can and cannot detect.
Detection No detection
Liquid fires without smoke -
Gas fires without smoke -
Open organic material fires with smoke, Inorganic materials, such as:
for example fires of:
● Wood ● Hydrogen
● Synthetic material ● Phosphorus
● Gas ● Sodium
● Oil-based products ● Magnesium
● Sulfur
However if inorganic materials are burning in a fire with organic materials, e.g.
packaging material, the flame detector can detect the fire.
The flame detector can be operated on both an FDnet/C-NET detector line and a
collective detector line.
A mounting bracket and ball and socket joint are available to aid flame detector
mounting at a particular angle. Two rain hoods are available to protect against rain.
More information can be found in the 'Accessories' chapter.

3.3 Function
The flame detector detects infrared radiation. The spectrum of organic material
fires is very high near the A-channel (see diagram). Full use is made of this for
detection as the flame detector measures and evaluates radiation in this spectral
range. The description below explains how the sensory of flame detector impacts
on detection.
Sensory
Flame detector FDF241-9 has three sensors:
● Pyroelectric sensor A measures the infrared radiation in the characteristic CO2
spectral range between 4.0 and 4.8 µm (A-channel).
● Pyroelectric sensor B measures the infrared radiation of deceptive phenomena,
such as hot objects (3), in the range between 5.1 and 6.0 µm (B-channel).
● Sensor C is a silicon photo diode and measures solar radiation (2) in the range
between 0.7 and 1.1 µm (C-channel).
The infrared radiation of the sun, hot objects and organic material fires has
different spectra.
Thanks to these characteristics and the three sensors, flame detector FDF241-9
can use ASAtechnology to distinguish between deceptive phenomena and real
fires. Flame detector FDF241-9 is suited to use in environments with deceptive
phenomena, such as solar radiation or hot motors.
The following diagram shows the spectra of solar radiation, hot objects and organic
material fires, in this example of an alcohol fire.

Direct irradiation is many times higher than indirect irradiation. The flame detector
should therefore be positioned such that it has as direct a line of sight as possible
to the entire monitoring area.
Glass and synthetic materials reduce infrared radiation so much that perfect
detection is no longer possible. Avoid glass and synthetic materials between the
flame detector and area being monitored.

Mounting height h corresponds to the cube's side length and is the flame detector's
maximum mounting height.
The area is only split into cubes as a basis for planning. The cube does not

WARNING
Fire hazard from test fire
Bodily injury and material damage
● Only specially trained persons may undertake test fires. These persons must
be trained in how to handle fire extinguishers.
● The size of the test fire depends on the room height.
1. On the control panel, switch off the remote transmission of alarms. To do this
set the 'Detector test' operating mode on the control panel.
2. Use a test fire to test the flame detector. Note the information in
document 009977.
a The flame detector activates an alarm within 20 seconds.
a The alarm indicator on the flame detector flashes.
3. On the control panel, switch the remote transmission of alarms back on.
a The flame detector is ready.
You will find more detailed information in the fire detection system documentation.
If the flame detector does not activate an alarm, follow the actions described in the
'Repair [➙ 58]' chapter.

7.2 Cleaning
The flame detector sensors must be clearly visible through the protective glass.
Proceed as follows if this is not the case:
1. Clean the protective glass from the outside with a soft, damp cloth. Washing-up
liquid may be used if the glass is very dirty.
2. Carry out a function check [➙ 56].

Problem
The flame detector does not activate an alarm during the performance check.
Remedy
l Ensure that the flame detector is registered on the control panel.
If the problem persists:
l Ensure that the protective glass on the flame detector is clean and the sensors
are clearly visible. Clean the protective glass if this is not the case.
If the problem persists:
l Replace the flame detector.
