DESCRIPTION
Det-Tronics X-Series Flame Detectors record pertinent
configuration and event information in the device’s non-
volatile memory. Important detector status data such
as power-up/down, faults and alarms are date and time
stamped as they occur and stored in the electronic
module located inside the detector enclosure. The
Inspector Monitor software allows the user to later upload
this data to a personal computer (PC) where it can be
displayed, saved and/or printed.
Enhanced Flame Inspector Software is compatible with
all versions of X3301, X3302, X9800, X5200 and X2200
flame detectors.
FEATURES
• Data logging capability for Det-Tronics flame
detectors.
• Data stored in non-volatile memory.
• Data can be uploaded to a PC.
• Data can be viewed, stored to a file, or printed.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
Enhanced Flame Inspector software is designed for
PCs using the Windows operating system.
A minimum of 16 megabytes of RAM are required;
however, 32 or more megabytes are recommended for
optimum performance. The software requires a color
monitor with a minimum resolution of 640 by 480.
A hard drive with at least 10 megabytes of free space
is also required. The system can utilize any properly
installed printer.
INSTALLATION
WIRING
Hardwired Method
It is recommended to connect the detector’s RS-485
terminals (terminals 23 and 24) to the PC at the time of
installation. This will allow Inspector Monitor to function
at any time, without the need to open the detector
housing and remove the sensor module (“front” half of
the detector) prior to test. A RS-485 to USB converter
(p/n 103881-001) is required for proper communication.

NOTE
Changing the detectors settings could result
in a configuration that has not been 3rd party
performance approved.
IMPORTANT!
For flame detectors with LON output, the EQP
controller will override any settings made with
the Enhanced Flame Inspector software, with the
exception of the Hangar Mode on the X3301.

295-87513.1
NOTE
The PC must always be located in a non-
hazardous controlled location.
Modbus communications are only available on X-series
detectors that have Relay, Relay/4-20mA, and Pulse
outputs. Modbus communications are not available on
X-series detectors that have HART or EQP outputs.
NOTE
Communication between the sensor module and
the PC uses the Modbus RTU protocol, with the
sensor module congured as a Modbus slave.
Alternate Method
NOTE
The alternate method must be used with EQP
and HART models since these detectors are not
furnished with RS-485 output terminals.
This method requires removal of the sensor module from
the detector housing for testing in a control room. A 5/64
inch Allen wrench is needed to loosen the lock screw
when removing the module.
To remove the sensor module follow these steps:
1. Remove power from the detector.
2. Using the allen wrench supplied with the detector,
loosen the locking screw on the side of the housing.
3. Unscrew the sensor module and remove it from the
front of the detector housing.
WARNING
Do not open the detector assembly in a hazardous
area when power is applied.
Connector includes a power supply that can plug into
any standard 120/240 vac outlet.
The Inspector Connector utilizes an integral RS-485
to USB converter (see Figure 2) to ensure proper
communication.
Connect the converter end of the Inspector Connector to
the USB port of the PC. Connect the end with the power
supply connection to the sensor module (see Figure3).

SOFTWARE
The Enhanced Flame Inspector software can be run
directly from the CD drive or it can be installed onto the
hard drive. To install the software onto the hard drive,
use the standard Windows procedure to copy the file to
a folder. To create an optional shortcut, right click on the
file in the folder and click on Create Shortcut. Drag the
shortcut icon to the desktop window. Double click on the
shortcut icon to run the program.
STARTUP
Using the RS-485 to USB converter requires installation
of the USB drivers before the Enhanced Flame Inspector
software can be opened. With the USB converter plugged
into an available USB port on a PC, install the drivers on
the CD ROM. Upon successful installation the device will
be recognized as an additional COM port in the Windows
Device Manager. Start the Enhanced Flame Inspector
software, and the COM Port window should be displayed
(see Figure 4). Select the correct serial or USB port from
the pull-down menu and click find device.
The setup window will be displayed (see Figure 5).
Ensure that the face of the flame detector you are
connected to is in the top left portion of the screen.
This indicates proper communication between the
detector and the computer. If proper communication is
not established (the face of the detector has not appeared
on the screen), check for the following conditions:
• Port configured for modem or other device, e.g.
PDA.
• Port opened for another application that has not
properly closed the serial port (Error message:
“COM 1 already open”).
• Enhanced Flame Inspector program opened twice.
• Detector’s Modbus address is not set to 1 (refer to the
“Set Default MB Address” section of this manual).

Reduced Oi Advisory, formerly called Bin Disable, can now be indicated on
the status LED, 4-20mA output (6mA) or via the AUX relay, if congured. This
status condition is active when one or more of the sensor returns less than
80% of the Oi test lamp signal. This could potentially be used as a means to
schedule detector cleaning prior to the blocked optics condition worsening
and the detector signaling an Oi Fault. It is suggested that the Reduced Oi
signal be required to sustain for a prescribed amount of time prior to any
action being taken, preventing unneeded optics cleanings due to
precipitation or another temporary optical obstruction.
Signal via Yellow LED: Check box for "Reduced Oi Advisory Output"
(*The Yellow LED accompanies the other signaling methods as a default)
*Signal via Aux Relay: Check box for “Reduced Oi Advisory Output”
and congure the Aux Relay for “Advisory”
*Signal via 4-20mA: Check boxes for "Reduced Oi Advisory Output"
and "4-20 mA and Pulsed Advisory"
(Enhanced X3301 & X3302 only)
Note: Enabling the Reduced Oi Signal Pulsed Advisory for Pulse Output
detectors is not recommended. Contact the factory for details.
The AUX relay can be
congured to signal
Advisories. Primarily
used to signal a
Reduced Oi condition
if congured.
(Enhanced X3301 &
X3302 only)
The Fire B (Flash Fire) Algorithm
can be disabled. Disabling this
algorithm can help reduce false
alarms in some situations but also
can also reduce re detection
capabilities. Temporary res
lasting less than 3 seconds may
not be detected if Fire B is disabled.
The time to alarm to sustained
res may also increase by
3 seconds compared to the FM
performance data.

DETERMINING DETECTOR
CONFIGURATION AND
PROGRAMMING
To determine the current settings for the detector, click
on the “Configuration” tab. The Configuration window is
displayed (see Figures 6-7).
NOTE
Fields in the Configuration window that are
grayed-out are not eld selectable.
NOTE
If you would like to make changes to the detector’s
configuration, navigate to the setup tab and
change the Flame Inspector mode from Monitor
(default) to Congurator (See Figure 4 ).
IMPORTANT!
For flame detectors with EQP output, the EQP
controller will override any settings made with
Enhanced Flame Inspector (with the exception of
X3301 hangar mode).
To prevent this override, ame detectors with EQP
output should be changed in S3(see Instruction
Manual 95-8560 for details).
DETERMINING CURRENT
STATUS CONDITIONS
Click on the Device Status tab to determine the current
status of the detector. The status window (see Figures8 -
9) displays various status information about the detector.
For more information on detector status conditions refer
to the event log description and troubleshooting sections
of this manual.
NOTE
All information on this window is read only.
Indicators that are“grayed-out”are“Off”.
MANUAL oi TEST
Manual oi provides the same calibrated test as
automatic oi , and in addition, actuates the alarm relay to
verify proper operation. Manual oi can be performed at
any time and eliminates the need for testing with a non-
calibrated external test lamp.
The test can be initiated in one of three ways:
– by placing a magnet at the marked location (mag oi )
on the outside of the detector.
– via an external switch (refer to detector manual for
proper wiring).
– by Enhanced Flame Inspector software.
NOTE
If the sensor module is removed from the detector
housing for testing, only the Enhanced Inspector
method can be used.
MANUAL oi INITIATED BY MAGNET / SWITCH
CAUTION
Since the detector is fully operational, the test
requires disabling of all extinguishing devices to
avoid release resulting from a successful test.
Click on the Status button to display the Status window.
1. Initiate the manual oi test (actuate the external switch
or place the test magnet at the marked location on
the outside of the detector enclosure). The magnet
or switch must be held until the test is complete.
2. The Normal indicator on the Status window turns off.
3. Hold the switch or magnet for approximately 6
seconds. The manual oi test is successful if:
At the PC:
Fire Alarm indicator turns on (red).
Manual oi Active indicator turns on (red).
At the detector:
Fire Alarm Relay changes state.
LED turns red, exception: pulse output x-series
detectors.
4. Remove the magnet or release the test switch.
At the PC:
Fire Alarm indicator turns off.
Manual oi Active indicator turns off.
Normal indicator turns on (green).
At the detector:
Fire Alarm Relay returns to Normal condition.
LED turns green.
If the detector has successfully completed the test , the
fire extinguishing devices that were disabled for the test
can be returned to normal operation.
5. If the detector fails the test (i.e. less than half of the
detection range remains), no alarm is produced
and a fault is generated. A failed manual oi test is
indicated by:
At the PC:
Manual oi Active indicator turns off.
Manual oi Fault indicator turns on (amber).
