1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Rosemount Rosemount 975UF ultra fast Ultraviolet Infrared Flame Detector senses
radiant energy in the shortwave section of both the ultraviolet and infrared portions of the
electromagnetic spectrum. The IR sensor operates at a wavelength of 2.5 to 3.0 µm, giving
the flame detector the ability to detect hydrocarbon-based fuel and gas, hydroxyl, and
hydrogen fires, as well as metal and inorganic fires. The detector has a high-speed
response, 20 milliseconds, to flash fires or explosions.
All Rosemount 975 series detectors include a heated optical window for improved
performance in icing, snow, and condensation conditions.
The operator can easily adapt detection performance to all environments, applications,
and requirements by changing the detector's configuration parameters. Adjusting these
parameters, as well as performing other maintenance and monitoring tasks, is possible by
means of RS-485 based Modbus® communication or HART® communication (in models
with 0-20 mA output).
The detector enclosure is ATEX certified Exd flameproof with an integral, segregated, rear,
Exe terminal compartment (avoiding exposure of the sensors and electronics to
surrounding environment). Hence the combined approval:
Ex II 2G D
Ex db eb op is IIC T4 G
Ex tb op is IIIC T96 °C Db
(-55 °C ≤ Ta ≤ +75 °C)
or
Ex II 2G D
Ex db eb op is IIC T4 Gb
Ex tb op is IIIC T106 °C Db
(-55 °C ≤ Ta ≤ +85 °C)
The flame detector is designed to operate as a stand-alone unit directly connected to an
alarm system or an automatic fire extinguishing system. The detector can also be part of a
more complex system where many detectors and other devices are integrated through a
common control unit.

1.4 Principles of operation
1.4.1 Detection principles
The Rosemount Rosemount 975UF flame detector is an electronic device designed to
sense the occurrence of fire and flames and subsequently activate an alarm or an
extinguishing system directly or through a control circuit.
The UV/IR radiation flame detector is a dual spectrum optical detector sensitive to two
separate ranges of the radiation spectrum, both of which are present in fires. The detector
monitors the protected volume by measuring the radiation intensity in it within two
frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, namely the ultraviolet (UV) and the infrared
(IR).
The detector integrates two dependent channels in which appropriate detection pulses
are registered and further analyzed for frequency, intensity, and duration.

Sensing elements
The IR sensor in the Rosemount Rosemount 975UF is sensitive to radiation over the range
of 2.5 to 3.0 microns, where the H2 emission has a unique spectral peak that enables
detection of hydrocarbon fires, gas fires, hydroxyl, and hydrogen fires, as well as metal and
inorganic fires.
The UV sensor is sensitive to radiation over the range of 0.185 to 0.260 µm. The UV
channel incorporates a special logic circuit that eliminates false alarms caused by solar
radiation and other non-fire UV sources. Furthermore, the UV channel's sensitivity is
stabilized over the working temperature range.
Detection levels
Simultaneous detection of radiation in both the UV and the IR channels having an intensity
that exceeds the detector's preset warning level results in a Warning signal.
Simultaneous detection of radiation in both the UV and the IR channels having an intensity
that exceeds the detector's preset alarm levels results in an Alarm signal.
Simultaneous detection of radiation in both the UV and the IR channels having an intensity
that exceeds the detector's preset flash-fire detection level results in an immediate Alarm
signal.
As the present dual range and level of radiation as well as the flickering pattern are
characteristics of real fire, all other radiation sources apart from actual fire are not
detected, thus avoiding false alarms.
1.4.2 Heated optics
The flame detector uses heated optics. The heater increases the temperature of the
optical surface by 5 to 8 °F (3 to 5 °C) above the ambient temperature to improve
performance in icing, condensation, and snow conditions.
The heated optics can be set to one of the following:
•Off, not operating.
•On continuously.
•Automatic, per temperature change (default): the operator can define the start
temperature below which the window is heated. The default is 41 °F (5 °C). The
operator can define this temperature between 32 °F (0 °C) and 122 °F (50 °C). The
heating stops when the temperature is 27 °F (15 °C) above the start temperature.
For more information, see Configure the detector.
1.4.3 HART® protocol
The flame detector uses the HART protocol.
HART communication is a bi-directional industrial field communication protocol used to
communicate between intelligent field instruments and host systems. HART is the global
standard for smart process instrumentation, and the majority of smart field devices
installed in plants worldwide are HART-enabled. HART is available in output configurations
1A, 2A, and 3A (see Output configuration).

1.5 Performance considerations
1.5.1 Detection sensitivity
Detection sensitivity is the maximum distance at which the detector reliably detects a
specific size of fire and typical type of fuel (standard fire).
Standard fire
Defined as 1 ft.2 (0.1 m2) n-heptane pan fire with maximum wind speed of 6.5 ft./sec
(2 m/sec).
Sensitivity ranges
The detector has two response levels:
•Warning (Pre-alarm)
•Alarm
The detection distance for the Alarm level is 65 ft. (20 m) from a standard fire.
The detection distance for the Warning level is approximately 10 percent higher than the
Alarm distance.
For some typical ambient conditions, the Zeta parameter as defined in NFPA 72 for the
detector is 0.005 (1/meter).
Note
Zeta parameters may vary significantly with changes in temperature, air pressure,
humidity, visibility conditions, etc.
