IMPORTANT
Be sure to read and understand the entire
instruction manual before installing or operating
the ame detection system. Any deviation from
the recommendations in this manual may impair
system performance and compromise safety.
ATTENTION
The X33AF PL 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 approved or required.
DESCRIPTION
The X33AF PL is a multispectrum infrared (IR) ame
detector. It provides unsurpassed detection of res
from light to heavy hydrocarbon fuels combined with the
highest degree of false alarm rejection. The detector has
Division and Zone explosion-proof ratings and is suitable
for use in indoor and outdoor applications.
The detector utilises advanced signal processing
algorithms, supported by an embedded 32-bit
microprocessor, to provide continuous protection in the
presence of false alarm sources and environments with
infrared radiation present.
The detector has built-in PowerLoop technology which
makes the detector capable of being powered and
communicate with AutroSafe Integrated Fire and Gas
panels (IFG) on the same pair of wire, saving cable cost
and weight. Each detector has a built-in short circuit
isolator; hence no detectors will be lost because of a
single break or short circuit in the PowerLoop lines.
All alarms and faults will be signalled via PowerLoop.
The PowerLoop is a two-wire power and signalling bus
connected in ring topology that is galvanically isolated
from the rest of the system. The detector does not require
any local power supply.
The detector has a detection range to gasoline of over
60m, and a solid cone of vision for methane.
The X33AF PL 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.
The X33AF PL contains three IR sensors with their
associated signal processing circuitry. The standard
output conguration includes re, fault and auxiliary
relays. A tricolor LED on the detector faceplate indicates
normal condition and noties personnel of re alarm or
fault conditions. Microprocessor controlled heated optics
increase resistance to moisture and ice.
The X33AF PL housing is available in copper-free
aluminum or stainless steel, with NEMA/Type 4X and
IP66/IP67 rating.

OPICAL INTEGRITY (
oi
)
Automatic
oi
The X33AF PL 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. The detector automatically performs
the same test that a maintenance person with a test lamp
would perform — once every minute; 60 times per hour.
However, a successful Automatic
oi
test does not produce
an alarm condition.
The Protect•IR signals a fault condition when less than
half of the detection range remains. This is indicated by
the Fault output relay and is evident by the yellow color of
the LED on the face of the detector. The
oi
fault condition
is self-clearing if the optical contamination is temporary. If
the contamination is not automatically cleared and the
oi
fault remains, the detector may require cleaning or service.
See the "Troubleshooting" section for further information.
Magnetic
oi
/ Manual
oi
The detector also incorporates both Magnetic
oi
(Mag
oi
) and Manual
oi
(Man
oi
) features that provide the
same calibrated test as the Automatic
oi
, and in addition
actuates the Alarm output to verify operation for preventive
maintenance requirements. These features can be
performed at any time and eliminate the need for testing
with a non-calibrated external test lamp.
CAUTION
These tests require disabling of all extinguishing
devices to avoid release resulting from a
successful test.
The Mag oi test is performed by placing a magnet at the
location marked "MAG OI" on the outside of the detector
(see Figure 2). The Man oi test is accomplished by
connecting the oi lead (terminal 22) to power supply minus
via an external switch. The magnet or switch must be held
in place for a minimum of six seconds to complete the
test. Either of these test methods activates the calibrated
IR emitters. If the resulting signal meets the test criteria,
indicating that greater than half of the detection range
remains, the re alarm output of the detector is activated.
On all models other than the EQP, this condition remains
until the magnet is removed or the switch is released,
regardless of whether the detector has been congured
for latching or non-latching operation. On model EQP, the
condition remains for four seconds.
If less than half of the detection range remains, no alarm
is produced and a fault is generated. The fault indication
can be reset by momentarily applying the Mag oi or Man oi
switch. In this case, the detector's optics should be cleaned
and the oi tests should be repeated. See the "Cleaning
Procedure" section of this manual for details.
NOTE
Refer to Appendix A for FM verification of the
Optical Integrity
oi
function.
AUTOMATIC ALARM TEST
The X33AF PL performs an automatic alarm-path test
every 24 hours.This test includes the functionalities of the
magnetic
oi
test, and is also making sure that the alarm
is transmitted to the panel. If this test is successful, no
indication will be given on the panel. However, if the test
fails, a fault message is generated on the AutroSafe IFG
panel.
COMMUNICATION
The X33AF PL has built-in PowerLoop technology which
makes the detector capable of being powered by and
communicating with AutroSafe Integrated Fire and Gas
panels (IFG) on the same pair of wire, saving cable cost
and weight.

Autronica Fire and Security AS
DATA LOGGING
Data logging capability is also provided. Status conditions
such as normal, power down, general and
oi
faults, pre-
alarm, re alarm, time and temperature are recorded.
Each event is time and date stamped, along with the
temperature and input voltage. Event data is stored in
non-volatile memory when the event becomes active, and
again when the status changes. Data from the log can
only be extracted at the factory.
INTEGRAL WIRING COMPARTMENT
All external wiring to the device is connected within the
integral junction box. The detector is furnished with four
conduit entries, with M25 threads.
DETECTOR SENSITIVITY LEVELS
There are four factory congured sensitivity levels
available for the X33AF PL Flame Detector:
Very High, Medium, Low and T-Low.
The following criteria should be considered when
choosing a sensitivity level for the intended application:
• Detector placement
• Speed of response based on fuel type and re size
(see Appendix A for response times)
• Distance between the hazard and the ame
detector
Additional information on X33AF PL Flame Detector
performance results and sensitivities can be found in
Appendix A, the FM Approval and Performance Report.
Consult the factory with any questions on how to choose
the optimum sensitivity level for the intended application.
GENERAL APPLICATION
INFORMATION
RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS
Response is dependent on the detector's sensitivity
setting, distance, type of fuel, temperature of the fuel, and
time required for the re to come to equilibrium. As with
all re tests, results must be interpreted according to an
individual application.
See Appendix A for third-party approved re test results.
Additional re test results are available from Autronica.
IMPORTANT APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
In applying any type of sensing device as a re detector,
it is important to know of any conditions that can prevent
the device from responding to re, and also to know
what other sources besides re can cause the device to
respond.
Welding
It is recommended that the system be bypassed
during welding operations in situations where the
possibility of a false alarm cannot be tolerated. Gas
welding mandates system bypass, since the gas torch
is an actual re. Arc welding rods can contain organic
binder materials in the ux that burn during the welding
operation and are detectable by the X33AF PL. Welding
rods with clay binders do not burn and will not be detected
by the X33AF PL. However, system bypass is always
recommended, since the material being welded may be
contaminated with organic substances (paint, oil, etc.)
that will burn and possibly cause the X33AF PL to alarm.
Due to the possibility of an alarm condition, arc welding
should not be performed within 40 feet (12.2 m) of the
detector configured to very high sensitivity, within 10
feet (3.0 m) at medium sensitivity, within 5 feet (1.5 m)
at T-Low sensitivity, or at Low sensitivity.
Articial Lighting
The X33AF PL should not be located within 3 feet (0.9 m)
of articial lights. Excess heating of the detector could
occur due to heat radiating from the lights.
EMI/RFI Interference
The X33AF PL is resistant to interference by EMI and RFI,
and is EMC Directive compliant. It will not respond to a
5 watt walkie-talkie at distances greater than 1 foot. Do
not operate a walkie-talkie within 1 foot of the X33AF PL.
Non-Carbon Fires
The X33AF PL is a multiple spectrum IR device with
detection limited to carbonaceous fuels. It should not be
used to detect res from fuels that do not contain carbon,

such as hydrogen, sulfur, and burning metals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
WARNING
Do not open the detector assembly in a hazardous
area when power is applied. The detector contains
limited serviceable components and should never
be opened. Doing so could disturb critical optical
alignment and calibration parameters, possibly
causing serious damage.
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. The PowerLoop
calculator must verify all wiring calculations.
Installation must be done by a properly trained
person.
CAUTION
To prevent unwanted actuation or alarm,
extinguishing devices must be disabled prior to
performing system tests or maintenance.
CAUTION
The multispectrum IR ame detectors are to be
installed in places where the risk of mechanical
damages is low.
ATTENTION
Remove the protective cap from the front of the
detector before activating the system.
ATTENTION
Observe precautions for handling electrostatic
sensitive devices.
INSTALLATION
NOTE
The recommended lubricant for threads and
O-rings is a silicone free grease (part number
116-005003-001) available from Autronica. Under
no circumstances should a lubricant containing
silicone be used.
DETECTOR POSITIONING
Detectors should be positioned to provide the best
unobstructed view of the area to be protected. The
following factors should also be taken into consideration:
• Identify all high risk re ignition sources.
• Be sure that enough detectors are used to adequately
cover the hazardous area.
• Be sure that the unit is easily accessible for cleaning
and other periodic servicing.
• Verify that all detectors in the system are properly
located and positioned so that any re hazards are
within both the Field of View (FOV) and detection
range of the detector. The Q1201C Laser Aimer is
recommended for establishing the detector's FOV.
Refer to the "High Resolution Field of View Diagrams"
section for specic information regarding detector
range and FOV.
• The detector should be aimed downward at least 10
to 20 degrees to allow lens openings to drain. See
Figure 1. The detector should be positioned so
that its FOV does not cover areas outside the area
that requires ame detection monitoring. This will
minimize the possibility of false alarms caused by
activities outside the area requiring protection.

• The detector must be mounted on a rigid surface in a
low vibration area.
• Dense fog, rain or ice can absorb IR radiation and
reduce the sensitivity of the detector. To ensure
optimum performance, be certain that the internal
optical heater is enabled on detectors that are used in
applications where snow, ice, and condensation are
likely to occur.
• Although IR detectors are less affected by smoke than
other detectors, the X33AF PL should not be placed
where rising combustion products can obscure its
vision. If smoke is expected before re, smoke or other
alternative detectors should be used in conjunction
with the X33AF PL. For indoor applications, if dense
smoke is expected to accumulate at the onset of a
re, mount the detector on a side wall at least a few
feet (approximately 1 meter) down from the ceiling.
• If possible, re tests should be conducted to verify
correct detector positioning and coverage.
• For ATEX/IECEx installations, the X33AF PL detector
housing must be electrically connected to earth
ground.
DETECTOR ORIENTATION
Refer to Figure 2 and ensure that the oi plate will be
oriented as shown when the X33AF PL is mounted and
sighted. This will ensure proper operation of the
oi
system
and will also minimize the accumulation of moisture and
contaminants between the
oi
plate and the viewing
windows.
IMPORTANT
If removed, the
oi
plate must be securely
tightened to ensure proper operation of the
oi
system (40 oz./inches [28.2 N/cm] recommended).

PROTECTION AGAINST MOISTURE DAMAGE
It is important to take proper precautions during installation
to ensure that moisture will not come in contact with the
electrical connections or components of the system. The
integrity of the system regarding moisture protection must
be maintained for proper operation and is the responsibility
of the installer.
If conduit is used, we recommend installing drains,
according to local codes, at water collection points to
automatically drain accumulated moisture.
It is also recommended to install at least one breather,
according to local codes, at upper locations to provide
ventilation and allow water vapor to escape.
Conduit raceways should be inclined so that water will
ow to low points for drainage and will not collect inside
enclosures or on conduit seals. If this is not possible, install
conduit drains above the seals to prevent the collection
of water or install a drain loop below the detector with a
conduit drain at the lowest point of the loop.
Conduit seals are not required for compliance with
explosion-proof installation requirements, but are highly
recommended to prevent water ingress in outdoor
applications. Units with M25 threads must use an IP66
washer to prevent water ingress.
WIRING PROCEDURE
Wire Size and Type
The X33AF PL can only be used with the AutroSafe
IFG system, and must be connected to the BSD-340
PowerLoop driver.
The system should be wired according to local codes.
The wire size selected should be based on the number
of detectors connected, the supply voltage and the cable
length. Typically 16 AWG or 2.5 mm2shielded cable is
recommended. Wires should be stripped 3/8 inch (9 mm).
A minimum input voltage of 18 Vdc must be present at
the X33AF PL.
NOTE
Refer to “Power Consumption” in the
“Specications”section of this manual.
The use of shielded cable is required to protect against
interference caused by EMI and RFI. When using cables
with shields, terminate the shields as shown in Figures 7
through 12, and Figure 15. Consult the factory if not using
shielded cable.
In applications where the wiring cable is installed in
conduit, the conduit must not be used for wiring to other
electrical equipment.

Autronica Fire and Security AS
If disconnection of power is required, separate disconnect
capability must be provided.
WARNING
All entries must contain appropriately rated plugs
or fittings. It is required that each plug or fitting
be wrench-tightened to an appropriate installation
torque and meet the minimum thread engagement
requirements per the applicable local standards, codes,
and practices in order to retain the defined ratings,
PTFE sealant or equivalent should be used on NPT
threads.
IMPORTANT
Devices certified for hazardous locations shall be
installed in accordance with EN/IEC 60079-14 and NEC
505.
CAUTION
Installation of the detector and wiring should be
performed only by qualied personnel.
Detector Mounting
Install the mounting arm assembly on a rigid surface.
The ideal installation surface should be free of vibration
and suitable to receive 3/8 inch (M10) bolts with a length
of at least 1 inch (25 mm). The surface must also have
sufficient capacity to hold the detector and mounting
arm weights (See "Specications" section). Refer to the

STARTUP PROCEDURE
When installation of the equipment is complete, perform
the “Fire Alarm Test” below.
FIRE ALARM TEST
1. Disable any extinguishing equipment that is connected
to the system.
2. Apply input power to the system.
3. Initiate an
oi
test. (See “Magnetic
oi
/ Manual
oi
”
under Optical Integrity in the Description section of
this manual.)
4. Repeat this test for all detectors in the system. If a unit
fails the test, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section.
5. Verify that all detectors in the system are properly
aimed at the area to be protected. (The Autronica
Q1201C Laser Aimer is recommended for this
purpose.)
6. Enable extinguishing equipment when the test is
complete.
TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING
The sensor module (“front” half of the detector)
contains no user serviceable components and
should never be tampered with.
1. Disable any extinguishing equipment that is connected
to the unit.
2. Inspect the viewing windows for contamination
and clean as necessary. The detector is relatively
insensitive to airborne contaminants, however, thick
deposits of ice, dirt, or oil will reduce sensitivity.
(Refer to the “Maintenance” section for complete
information regarding cleaning of the detector viewing
windows.)
3. Check input power to the unit (18 – 30V DC on
terminals 1, 3 and 15, 18. ref. g. 4).
4. Check the re panel display for fault status.
5. Turn off the input power to the detector and check all
wiring for continuity. Important: Disconnect wiring
at the detector before checking system wiring for
continuity.
6. If all wiring checks out and cleaning of the
oi
plate/
window did not correct the fault condition, check for
high levels of background IR radiation by covering the
detector with the factory supplied cover or aluminum
foil. If the fault condition clears within six minutes or
less, extreme background IR is present. Re-adjust
the view of the detector away from the IR source or
relocate the detector.
If none of these actions corrects the problem, return the
detector to the factory for repair.
NOTE
It is highly recommended that a complete spare
be kept on hand for eld replacement to ensure
continuous protection.

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
Periodic flamepath inspections are not
recommended, since the product is not intended
to be serviced and provides proper ingress
protection to eliminate potential deterioration of the
amepaths.
WARNING
To avoid a potential electrostatic discharge (ESD),
the painted surface of the detector should only be
cleaned with a damp cloth.
WARNING
The sensor module (“front” half of the detector)
contains no user serviceable components and
should never be tampered with.
To maintain maximum sensitivity and false alarm
resistance, the viewing windows of the X33AF PL must
be kept relatively clean. Refer to the procedure below for
cleaning instructions.
CLEANING PROCEDURE
CAUTION
Disable any extinguishing equipment that is
connected to the unit to prevent unwanted
actuation.
To clean the windows and
oi
plate, use Autronicas window
cleaner (part number 116-001680-001) and a soft cloth,
cotton swab or tissue and refer to the following procedure.
1. Disable any extinguishing equipment that is
connected to the unit.
2. Since the X33AF PL is less affected by contamination
than other detectors, removal of the
oi
plate is needed
only under extreme conditions. In addition, it is not
necessary to achieve perfect cleanliness, because
IR is not signicantly absorbed by slight lms of oil
and/or salt. If a fault condition is still indicated after
cleaning, remove and clean the
oi
Plate Removal and
Replacement procedure.
3. In all environments, clean all three viewing windows
and reector surfaces thoroughly. Use a cotton
swab and Autonicas window cleaning solution. Use
Isopropyl alcohol for contaminations that Autronicas
window cleaning solution can not remove.
IMPORTANT
When used in extreme environments, the reective
surface of the detector
oi
plate may eventually
deteriorate, resulting in reoccurring
oi
faults and
the need for
oi
plate replacement.
oi
PLATE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
1. Disable any extinguishing equipment that is connected
to the unit.
2. Loosen the two captive screws, then grasp the
oi
plate by the visor and remove it from the detector. See
Figure 5.
3. Install the new (or cleaned)
oi
plate.
NOTE
When installing the stainless steel plate, ensure
that the gasket is present and correctly seated to
prevent moisture or contaminants from penetrating
behind the plate. To ensure even seating, tighten
both screws equally.
4. Re-calibrate the detector's
oi
system. Refer to the
Inspector Monitor manual, number 95-8581, for
instructions regarding
