Page 4
APPROVALS
FS10-CS Fire/Flame Detectors with Option 2FLCS Card Controllers are manufactured in compliance with
the requirements of the ISO-9001 standard and are approved by:
California State Fire Marshal
CE for Europe
SECTION 1: DESCRIPTION
1.1 Application
The multi-spectral digital electro-optical two-stage FS10-CS Fire/Flame Detector with Option
2FLCS Card Controller is designed for long range quick detection of fireball and non-fireball
flickering fires in AUTOMOTIVE PAINT APPLICATIONS including electrostatic and non-electro-
static automatic and manually-applied paint spray lines and paint booths. FS10-CS is also
suitable for paint mixing areas, paint storage areas, paint kitchens, and other facilities where fast
response to fire is required. Each Detector is provided with Card Controller for integrating into a
cabinet at the application site, which must be mounted on a Backplane Mounting Assembly. The
Detector is connected to the Card Controller with two pair (four) conductor cable providing low DC
voltage power and digital RS-485 communication. See Table 1 for details.
1.2 Responses (Factory Pre-Set Relay Configuration)
For a spray gun “fireball” type fire, Alert condition is declared within 0.5 seconds. In this case both
K2 and K3 Signal Relays energize simultaneously and close K2 and K3 Relay contacts. For
flickering type (a non-spray gun) fire Early Warning condition is declared within 1 second. Both
K2 and K3 Signal Relays energize simultaneously and close K2 and K3 Relay contacts. For non-
spray gun or non-self-extinguishing fire, Fire Alarm condition is declared within additional 1 to 5
seconds (this parameter is set by user via DIP Switch located on the Card Controller). In this case
K4 relay energizes and closes the contact.
1.3 Input Power Requirements
The Electrical input power requirement for the Fire Detector / Card Controller system during normal
operation is 60 mA @ 24 VDC (+10/-15%), or 1.44 Watts. The maximum load current required with
all four relays energized and all four LEDs turned on (fully alarmed) is less than 125 mA.
1.4 FirePic
FirePicTM stores the pre-fire Detector sensor spectral data of the last six fire events in both the
Detector„s and the Card Controller‟s non-volatile digital memory. FirePic provides numerical
spectral evidence for identification of a fire cause. Both Detector and Card Controller independently
record the time and date for each FirePic. The FirePic data includes graphical display of the
relative spectral intensities versus time preceding and during the fire.
Note: A PC computer and Fire Sentry‟s Window PC software is required to access FirePic.

1.5 FS10-CS Flame Detector
1.5.1 False Alarm Prevention
This type of Fire Detector senses signals in the Wide Band IR™, Near Band IR™, and Visible
Band™ spectrums. It‟s computer processing enables distinguishing between a real fire source and
other radiant energy sources, which may cause false alarms. Used with FS System 10 Option
FLCS Card Controller, the Detector examines these three spectral radiant energy bands
simultaneously and processes the signals using sophisticated algorithms.
1.5.2 Housing and Classification
The Detector‟s electro-optics (electronics and sensors) are mounted inside a sealed module which
is housed in a water-tight and explosion-proof enclosure: Class I Div. 1, Groups B, C, D, Class II,
Div. 1 & 2, Groups E, F, G and Class III, NEMA 3 & 4. The housing is built of copper-free (less than
0.4%) aluminum with integral dual ¾ inch NPT conduit openings. It is tamper-resistant and contains
self-test reflective grill assembly. The housing has an epoxy powder-coated finish and incorporates
a Viton “O” ring inert to paint solvents. For dimensions, see Figures 4 and 5. The Detector weighs
approximately 3.5 pounds.
1.5.3 Field of View
The Detector‟s field-of-view is 90º(± 45 º horizontal and vertical).
1.5.4 Environmental Range
The operating and storage temperature ranges of the Detector are from -40oC to +85o C (-40oF to
+185oF). The Detector humidity range is 10% to 90% (RH), non-condensing.
1.5.5 Location
For proper functioning, each Detector should be located within 15, 30, or 45 feet of the fire threat
area without any obstructions at any time, within the field of view.
Note: 15, 30, or 45 feet ranges are set by the user via the FS10-CS rotary switch located at the
rear of the Detector‟s module. (See Section 2.5.)
1.5.6 Automatic Detector Self-Test
The Detector performs ACCTTLTM (Automatic Computer Controlled Through The Lens Test) to
check the window lens for contamination. If the Detector‟s lens or the lens guard requires cleaning,
or the guard is missing all together, the status LED will blink every 10 seconds, three (3) times in
succession. Even if this is the case, the FS10-CS System is still functional and able to alarm to a
fire.
1.5.7 Manual Detector Test
CAUTION: Disable responses to relay outputs to avoid activating external alarms and/or
suppression systems during testing.
Test the system “end-to-end” by activating each Detector separately.
Note: It is recommended to use the Fire Sentry Model FT-CS Short Range Portable Test Lamp, for
activating each Detector individually.
1.5.8 Advanced System Diagnostics
The Controller‟s RS-232 port allows direct connection to a desktop or laptop PC computer via the
optional PC Software Kit, Part no. FS10-CS-PC.
1.6 Card Controller
1.6.1 Communication

Page 6
The FS10-CS Detector is directly connected (home run) to its Card Controller using a four wire 18
to 22 gauge twisted pair shielded cable. The Flame Detector communicates to the Controller using
a two-wire serial digital differentially driven RS-485 communication link, with the other two wires
providing low voltage DC power (+9 Volts) and DC return.
1.6.2 Time Delay Setting
The Card Controller contains DIP switch for selecting the time between the First Stage Alert, or
Fire Early Warning Relay activation, and the Second Stage Fire Alarm relay activation. The user
can select from 1 to 5 seconds in one-second increments. The factory default setting is 5 seconds.
(See Section 2.5.)
1.6.3 Event History Files
The Card Controller features real-world time and date stamped “Event History” files of its Fire
Detector, which are stored separately in non-volatile solid-state memory in both the Detector and
Card Controller.
1.6.4 Functions
The Card Controller performs the following functions:
Provides safe, low DC voltage electrical power for the Flame Detector.
De-energizes Fault Relay, K1, if the wiring, Card Controller, or the Detector fails.
Turns on the Card Controller‟s LEDs to indicate Normal Operation, Fire Early Warning (FEW),
Alert, Fire Alarm, or Fault conditions.
Communicates externally to an IBM-compatible PC desktop or laptop computer through the
built-in RS-232 communication channel using optional PC Windows Software Kit (Part No.
FS10-CS-PC).
1.6.5 Physical Description
The Card Controller consists of a plug-in Printed Circuit Assembly with four status LEDs, which
provide visual display of Normal Operation, Alert (fireball type fire), or Fire Early Warning
(flickering-type fire), Fire Alarm, and Fault conditions. The PCB is housed in a 6.69 inch long x
4.50 inch high x 1.00-inch thick rectangular aluminum enclosure with DB-9 type RS-232 interface

2.4 Mounting Locations
2.4.1 Mounting Flame Detectors
The Flame Detectors have a 90 degree horizontal and vertical Field-of-View (+/- 45º viewing angle).
It is recommended the Flame Detectors be positioned with the primary fire threat location aimed in
the center of the Detector‟s Field-of-View. Since Flame Detectors must “see” the fire in order to
detect it, mount the Detectors in locations such as room corners and ceilings to avoid line-of-sight
blockage.
2.4.2 Mounting Card Controllers
The Card Controllers are only to be mounted on Card Controller Backplane Mounting Assemblies.
The Card Controller is not designed for explosive atmospheres. Refer to Section 1.6 for details.
2.5 FS10-CS Detector Rotary Switch Settings
To set the rotary switches located on the rear of the Detector‟s black internal module, use a flat
head screwdriver. If the module is already installed inside the Detector housing, twist the Detector
lid counterclockwise until the lid is removed. Set the lid aside and use a Phillips head screwdriver
to turn the three module captive screws counterclockwise to remove the module from the Detector
housing base. To re-assemble the module into the Detector housing, reverse the above
disassembly procedure and securely tighten the lid to the base for proper “O” ring positioning.

24 VDC Power is applied.

Model FS10-CSTM Fire Detector with Card Controller OPTION 2FLCS
INSTALLATION GUIDE and OPERATING MANUAL
Fire Sentry Corporation Document No. 1527-002 –Rev. E ©Copyright 2009 All Rights Reserved
Page 15
3.2 Initial Start Up
APPLY ONLY EXTERNAL 24 VDC ELECTRICAL POWER. At this time, turn the external power
ON and check that the Card Controller is operating correctly. When the System is first powered up,
the Detector‟s Green LED will illuminate briefly and then blink 2 times in succession every 10
seconds.
3.3 System Operating Modes
3.3.1 Normal Operation
In Normal Operation, the Card Controller is ready to detect fires, report Faults, and will have the
Green LED ON and the Yellow, Orange and Red LED‟s OFF.
3.3.2 Faults
During a Fault condition the Card Controller will:
Turn ON the Yellow Fault LED
Record the event in the Fault Event History file, and de-energize the Fault relay
Faults generally occur for the following reasons:
Failure in the wiring such as a severed cable or loose terminations;
Hardware failure in the Flame Detector identified by the Controller's internal self-checking;
Power loss at the Card Controller;
Contamination of Detector window lens
Ground fault i.e., RS232 connection, power supply DC return shorted to chassis (earth).
Note: The Fault condition is self-resetting; i.e. if the action causing the Fault is remedied,
then the Card Controller will stop reporting a Fault.

Ground Fault
Card Controller - yellow LED turns on:
Fault relay is de-energized. Capability to detect fire alarm is
preserved. Ground fault may show during download of
information. To remedy, ensure chassis ground is not shorted
to the power supply terminals.
4.3 Cleaning Detectors Housing Windows
Clean Detectors‟ windows and grills immediately after installation or handling following regular
periodic schedule, and whenever Controller Fault occurs due to contamination. To clean Detectors‟
windows, use an air hose or a clean cloth. To keep the Detectors‟ window lens and grills clean, use
Fire Sentry‟s Protective Covers, Part No. DPC-12.

4.5 Detector Faults
Under a Fault condition, the Controller will turn on continuously the Yellow Fault LED. If a Detector
problem causes a persistent Fault, return the black Detector module, located within the red housing,
and return to Fire Sentry for service. There are no user-serviceable parts in Detector modules.
Note: Under Normal Operation, the Detector‟s green LED will blink 2 times in succession every 10
seconds if the Detector is communicating with the Card Controller.
4.6 Detector Module Replacement
To replace an improperly operating Flame Detector Module, do the following:
1. Loosen the hex nut that secures the top windowed cover to the Detector housing base.
2. Next, turn the Detector top cover counter-clockwise until the top cover is removed.
3. Using a screwdriver, turn the three captive screws counter-clockwise, that secures the black
Flame Detector Module to the housing base, until the Module is free.
4. Gently lift the Flame Detector Module out of the housing base.
5. To remove the ten-wire plug, using a small screwdriver, turn the two clamp screws counter-
clockwise.
6. Handle the Flame Detector Module with care and do not touch the sensor windows.
7. Carefully wrap the Module in static protection material (if none available, use Aluminum foil)
and ship to Fire Sentry.
8. To install a Detector Module, reverse the removal steps listed above.
