FACADE PROTECTION
Facade protection
with AutroFlame BG-201 IR flame detector
116-P-MOUNTFACADEKIT/WGB, Rev. B, 2021-01-11
The flame detector is mounted on a discreet bracket protecting the detector from weather and
nusiance alarm sources. The bracket also limits the detector’s field of view.
The mounting arm is adjustable. In this way, the detector's field of view can be adapted to
individual needs, both horizontally and vertically. In this way, the flame detector can point to
the facade only, without any disturbance from the surroundings.

Projecting guidelines
Class Detection Ground coverage Mounting height
Class 1 1 x 1 fot at 25 m 20 m Max. 15 m
Class 2 1 x 1 fot at 17 m 15 m Max 9 m
Class 3 1 x 1 fot at 12 m 10 m Max 7 m
Table 1: Class and coverage data
Table 1 specifies maximum heights for detector mounting. We recommend that the detector is
mounted at a height of between 4 and 6 meters, for practical and coverage reasons.
Following Autronica's recommendations (table 1) gives a minimum of 2 meters coverage
from the bottom of the wall and upwards.
If the distance between the detector and a potential fire is doubled, the signal must be quadrupled
(50m requires 4x4 feet in class 1).
Rule of thumb: If you see the sensor, the sensor can see you.
Please read the entire instruction
manual carefully, prior to mounting
and commissioning the facade
protection.

The facade protection solution is best applied by tilting the bracket 50° downwards and up to
45° inwards (direction wall).
A 45° angle ensures that the outer line of view runs along the wall. This ensures a protected
area from behind the vertical axis and all along the detector’s field of view.

A facade protection kit covers up to 20 meters of a wall. The ground coverage depends on the
mounting of the detectors as shown in Table 1.
See examples below (top view of buildings):

The facade protection solution can also be mounted with a vertical center line. The coverage
area of the ground on each side of the center line will then be equal to the mounting height.
The formula is as follows:
Ground coverage area (m) = (mounting height x 2) – 4
For example, a 6 meter mounting height will give 12 meters of ground coverage along the
facade. To meet our safety criteria, 2 meters on each side must be subtracted, providing a total
coverage of 8 meters in this example.

Assembly instructions
Attach the bracket to the mounting arm with the supplied screws, washers and nuts. Attach
the detector base to the bracket before attaching the detector head to the detector base.
116-P-MOUNTFACADEKIT/WGB, Rev. B, 2021-01-11
NOTE!
The ONLY way to properly mount
the detector head to the detector
base is to make sure that points A
and B fit together.

NOTE! There is a mark in
the plastic that indicates
the detector's 30° field of
view. This must point in
the direction from the wall
towards the inside of the
bracket.
