Section 1 General Description
The Forney RM IDD9000 is a rack-mounted, dual-channel flame detector amplifier. It is a stand-alone
intelligent controller composed of asingle printed circuit board (PCB).All inputs and outputs of the dual
channels are completely independent including separate fused power feeds from load sharing power
supplies in each card rack. The amplifier receives DC power from the card rack, 15Vdc and 6.5Vdc
minimum. The 15Vdc supplies power to the detector heads directly, creating the 50V Bias for the IDD
detectors, 4-20mA and 0-10V and powers the 4 signal relays and the logic. The 6.5Vdc supplies power the
microprocessorsand the Termiflex.
The amplifier should be located in a controlled environment such as a separate equipment cabinet. Electrical
inter-connection with external equipment is accomplished by means of spring-cage plugs on plug-in
connectors for easy maintenance.
The amplifier provides power,control, signal conversion and processing control for the Infrared Dynamic
Detectors(IDD) and Ultraviolet (UV) detectors. The RM IDD9000 can support any of the following
combination of Forney flame detector heads:
•One or two IDD heads
•One or two UV-4 heads
•One IDD head and one UV-4 head
The IDD flame detector head produces an analog data signal whose amplitude and frequency vary with
light intensity; the UV-4 flame detector head produces a digital pulse train whose frequency varies with
light intensity. Consequently, the amplifier provides different signal-processing circuitry for these two
inputs. Signal processing for the UV-4 input merely blocks low amplitude noise and then routes the pulses
to the input of a digital counter. In contrast, signal processing for the IDD signal amplifies the input,
generates an averaged dc voltage level and converts it into a digital pulse train output. This pulse train then
serves as the input to the microprocessor.
At regular intervals, the microprocessor reads the value of the pulse counter(s) and compares those values
with tuning parameters from memory. When the count value exceeds the corresponding value from
memory, the microprocessor sets a flag to indicate flame presence. In addition, the count values provide a
direct measure of infrared or ultraviolet light intensity striking the respective sensors. Accordingly, the PCB
uses the two count values to generate separate analog output signals that can be used to drive flame intensity
meters.
A serial communication port for each channel is located on the front of the RM IDD9000. These ports
enable communication between the microprocessorson the board and a hand-held Termiflex/
SmartDisplay®via RS422/RS485 communication protocols. Forney also offers a Windows based software
package, Terminal Emulator Software (TES), that supports diagnostics and tuning of the flame detection
system. If the firmware in the amplifier detects an internal failure, it generates a corresponding error
message that can be downloaded to the Termiflex/ SmartDisplay®.Any failure will be continually
broadcast until a reset pushbutton is pressed.
Upon completion of installation, the user must connect the Termiflex/ SmartDisplay®to the amplifier and
revise the tuning parameters suitable to detect the presence and absence of target flame. User-supplied
tuning parameters are stored and remain unchanged until overwritten with new tuning parameters.

Section 2 Installation
This section provides instructions and requirements for installing the Forney RM IDD9000 assembly.
Caution:This board contains "STATIC SENSITIVE" components. Use standard electrostatic discharge
(ESD) procedures whenever handling the PCB.
Warning:Ensure all Flame Detector amplifiers, detectors, and cables are installed properly, and the
amplifier is programmed exactly as described in this manual. DEVIATION IN ANY CASE MAY
RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC FAILURES AND SEVERE DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AND/OR
INJURY TO PERSONNEL.
2.1 Recommended Test/Tuning Equipment and Instructions
Table 2-1 lists recommended equipment and instructions for testing and tuning the RM IDD9000. The RM
IDD9000 can be tuned either via the Termiflex / SmartDisplay®terminal or the Terminal Emulator Software
(TES). Refer to Section 2.8 to program the Termiflex / SmartDisplay®terminal and Section 3 to tune the
flame detection system.

2.2 Mounting Considerations
The RM IDD9000 amplifier assembly should be installed in a card rack in an equipment cabinet. If the
amplifier is installed in a location where exposure to the elements is likely, a NEMA 4 cabinet should be
used. The cabinet shall be located where the amplifiers are protected from direct exposure to water and
sunlight where the temperature/humidity remain within the ranges listed in the specification section of
this manual.
2.3 Electrical Connections
The RM IDD9000 includes a separate identical CPU Processor for each channel. The right side is for
Channel 1 and the left side is for Channel 2. The top two (2) DB9 connectors on the Bezel are for interfacing
with the Termiflex. The Top DB9 is for Channel 1, with adjacent LEDs and ‘Reset’ Pushbuttons. The
lower DB9 is for Channel 2.
Each CPU Processor contains three external connectors (Channel1: J1, J2, J3), (Channel 2: J4, J5, J6) on
the Bezel Panel. The following tables and graphics provide a detailed list of pin-outs for these connectors.
Note: When using one dual channel RM IDD9000 to replace a RM DR6101E or an RM IDD amplifier,all
connections need to be wired independently/transferred from old card to new card. The power feeds are
thru the Backplane connector. Power is applied upon full insertion. The card is Hot Swappable.
