Honeywell FS24X Multispectral Tri-frequency Infrared Flame Detector FS24X-911-21-1

Product Overview: The FS24X is the latest generation high technology Multi-Spectrum Triple IR (IR/IR/IR/Visible) Flame Detector, which is part of our FSX family of advanced technology Electro-Optical fire detectors. Using our patented* WideBand IR™, WideBand 4.3 micron IR™, and Visible detection technology, the FS24X is a quantum leap in flame detection. Sophisticated software algorithms and dual microprocessors ensure that the FS24X has the highest fire detection performance combined with optimal false alarm rejection. The WideBand IR™ Infrared technology using high-speed solid-state Quantum sensors allows detection of all types of fires, hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon, in all weather conditions. If the detector’s signal is blocked by ordinary window glass, the patented WideBand IR sensors will still alarm to the fire but at a reduced sensitivity and slower response time. Dual microprocessors provide a high level of fail-safe operation combined with fast and reliable performance. The Master Microprocessor performs high-speed digital sampling and signal-processing calculations: while the slave microprocessor handles various sensor data, performs communications, self-diagnostics and provides interface versatility: and additional memory for storing Event Log and FirePic™ data. The FSX family of detectors feature our patented* FirePic data storage and information retrieval facility. FirePic™ records pre-fire data, which can be recovered from the Detector’s non-volatile flash memory for post fire analysis and postulation of the fire cause. Additionally, unique Real-Time Graphing (RTG™) allows viewing of the data that the Detector actually sees. A combination of outputs makes the FS24X a truly versatile detector for today’s demanding industrial requirements. The FS24X Flame Detector has a detection range greater than 200 feet (Very High Sensitivity setting) for the detection of a one square-foot Heptane reference fire and has a cone of vision far greater in volumetric coverage than any other Multi-Spectrum IR Detector. This means fewer detectors can be used as compared to other manufacturers’ detectors.

Test Lamps Some manufacturers claim that their detectors do not need remote testing with an external Test Lamp because it tests itself. Even though Honeywell Analytics Detectors also perform “through the lens” self-testing and tests themselves, Honeywell Analytics, in compliance with NFPA 72 codes, has developed portable test lamps for periodical “end-to-end” testing their Detectors remotely. Some of the most important functions of the remote test lamp are to ensure the Detector’s optical path is not blocked, the Detector is aimed properly at the fire threat area (that the Detector mounting bracket didn’t move or was accidentally bumped by someone), and the Detectors alarming circuitry and outputs (i.e. relays, 4-to-20 mA, etc.) function properly. Internal Detector testing and window lens cleanliness testing cannot insure the Detector is aimed properly, that its view of the fire scene has not been blocked by something such as a newly installed pipe or duct, storage box, parked vehicle, etc., and its alarm outputs are functioning properly. For calibrated testing, in compliance with NFPA 72 Codes for flame detectors, as manufacturers of the FSX product line, our calibrated testing using our TL-2055 Test Lamp is as follows. If the FS24X set at Highest Sensitivity alarms to a fully charged TL-2055 Test Lamp at a distance between 1 and 25 feet, t
