2. Data Sheet
The GFE-SWR flame detectors utilize a microprocessor for sophisticated electronic signal analysis. The sensors must exceed their alarm
threshold to initiate a fire alarm. The UV/IR and IR flame detector use as additional alarm criterion: the analysis of the flame flicker-frequency.
The UV/IR and IR3 flame detectors have a good false alarms rejection. The UV is insensitive to practically all false alarm sources, except for arc
welding.
Common applications in which the three GFE-SWR series flame detector models can be used can be found in the table below.

3. Function of the detector
The LEDs on the display
The GFE-SWR flame detector has 3 LEDs on the display. These have the following meaning:
Continuous green: normal operation
Continuous yellow: fault
Blinking yellow: fault warning and guide to repeat self-test after a self-test or test failure
Continuous red: alarm
Normal operation
During normal operation only the green (“powered”) LED is turned on.
Fire alarm
In case of an alarm the green normal operation LED turns off and the red alarm LED turns on. If the standard setting is active the alarm LED is
latched. The latching condition can be reset by powering off the flame detector (approx. 1 sec.). After this the flame detector should be powered
up again.
Fault
In case of a fault, next to the normal operation LED also the fault LED is turned on. The fault LED doesn’t latch. As soon as the fault disappears,
the fault LED turns off. In case of a noncritical fault of the flame detector, such as a malfunctioning test source, in case of an alarm situation the
yellow fault LED turns off and the red alarm LED turns on. In case the yellow LED is blinking a repeated self-test is activated, after a self-test
failure. If the detector does not pass the repeated self-test, the yellow LED will be on continuously.
Relay outputs
The flame detector has 2 relay outputs:
a. alarm relay (SPDT)
b. fault relay (SPDT)
Ad a. alarm relay
The alarm relay is normally de-energized. During an alarm it is energized. The alarm is selectable latching/non-latching with DIL switch 3. The
factory setting of the alarm is latching. The latching condition can be reset by powering off (approx. 1 sec.) the flame detector. After the reset the
flame detector must be powered up again.
Ad b. fault relay
The fault relay is energized when powered up and will be de-energized in case of a fault. The fault relay is non-latching.
0-20 mA analog output (stepped, sinking, non-isolated)
The 0-20 mA output has the following possible values:
0 mA power fault / microprocessor fault
2 mA optical fault
4 mA normal operation
20 mA alarm
In case of a fault, for example because of a defect test source (2 mA) and the flame detector detects a fire, then the current will be switched to
20 mA.
Automatic self-test
During the start-up of the flame detector the 3 LEDs will turn on sequentially and the initial self-test is executed. Within 10 seconds the green,
yellow and the red LED will turn off and the green LED turns on continuously. After the initial self-test, periodically an optical self-test is executed
to monitor the electronics and the sensor(s). During the automatic self-test which takes a few seconds, the outputs of the flame detector are
temporary idled. If the sensor(s) fail(s) during the self-test, then the test is repeated several times. If after the repeated self-tests the fault
condition remains, the yellow fault LED will turn on steady and the fault relay will de-energize.
Manual self-test
The flame detector can test the sensor(s) and also the signal processing with help of the manual self-test. During a successful manual self-test
the alarm relay is energized and the red alarm LED turns on. If the detector is in latched condition, the alarm maintains until the detector is
powered off. For the manual self-test a switch can be mounted in the alarm panel or PLC. During commissioning this option can be used by
connecting terminal 14 with terminal 1 during 5 seconds.

GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016
globalfire.pt
Remarks:
1. Caution: during a manual optical self-test, the alarm relay is energized, when the test is successful. Make sure that before you start a
manual self-test the outputs of the control panel or PLC are disconnected. Reconnect the outputs after you have finalized the self-test.
2. Wiring the manual self-test is explained in the section electrical installation.
3. The manual self-test can be used during commissioning to test the detector without the necessity to use a flame detector test lamp.
4. The manual self-test is not a replacement for the functional test with help of a test lamp. After the commissioning is completed, the
flame detectors must be functionally tested by means of a test lamp.
3.1 Settings
The flame detector has DIL switches for setting the latching or unlatching mode of the flame detector.
Remarks:
1. DIL switches 1, 2 and 4 are not in use.
2. The white rockers of the DIL switches are shown in black in the figures.
In the next two tables you will find the DIL switch settings for sensitivity and for
latching/unlatching settings:
Latching/
Non latching
Latching
(factory setting)
Non latching
DIL 3 on
DIL3 off
Remarks:
The factory setting for latching/unlatching is in the “latching”position. The detector must be reset by powering off the flame detector during at
least 1 second. This setting is standard for fire control panels in conformity with the European standard EN54. In several industrial applications
the unlatching mode can be practical, because the alarm is taken over by the control panel. In that case there is no need to reset the detector by
powering it off.
4. Installation: Mounting and orientation
In this chapter a number of general planning guidelines are given for the flame detector system design. Several of these guidelines are
discussed in more detail in the next sections.
DIL switches

GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016
globalfire.pt
4.1 General planning guidelines
1. A flame detector is a detector which is suitable for fast detection of open fires. These are typically fluid and gas fires but can also be
solids such as paper or wood.
2. Flame detectors are “line of sight”detectors. The flame detectors should all have an un-obscured view to monitor the fire risks.
3. Define a performance requirement before starting flame detector system design. For example: the fire must be in the central axis of
the flame detector to detect an n-heptane fire of 33 x 33 cm at a distance 15 m within 30 seconds.
4. Identify the fire risks and make sure that a sufficient amount of detectors is installed to monitor all fire risks.
5. Classify, if applicable, the fire risk into the performance requirement classes A, B and C. On the website www.sense-ware.com this
classification is explained. See also section 4.2.
6. Plan the flame detectors (in quantity and in location), taking the cone of vision of 90oand the range of the detector into consideration.
7. The flame detector must be mounted of a rigid low vibration surface.
8. In indoor applications the flame detector must be placed at approx. 1.5 m below the ceiling to avoid obscuration by smoke.
9. Extremely tight fog or heavy rains or snow can negatively influence the performance of the flame detector.
10. Make sure that the flame detectors do not monitor potential false alarm sources, which are related to the production process. (for
example a flare). Screen, if necessary, the flame detector with help of a plate of 30 x 30 cm.
11. For weather protection of the flame detector (against rain and snow), a plate of 30 x 30 cm can be placed on top of the flame
detector if necessary, without negatively influencing the field of view of the flame detector.
12. In outdoor applications and in indoor application (with the exception of ceiling mounting), always mount the flame detectors in such a
way that are aligned to the bottom with an angle of 45o.
13. Two detector dependency is unnecessary for a multi criteria flame detector because more than one criteria must be met before a
flame detector creates an alarm output. This is not applicable for UV flame detectors. If, nevertheless, two detector dependency or 2
group dependency is required, make use of the “voting-system”. See section 4.6.
4.2 Performance-requirement A, B and C

*) Remark: the fuel depends on the application. If a gas fire with non-hydro carbon is expected, it is more useful to define a fire size with a
hydrogen plume. For a fire with a light hydrocarbon, a methanol pan fire.

4.4 Orientation
By mounting the flame detector with an angle of 450heading to the bottom, you make full use of the cone of vision of the flame detector.
If, seeing from the top, the flame detector also is directed diagonally, a volume is monitored.
4.5 Shadow effect
As rule of thumb you can take that the mounting
height (hd) of the flame detector should be twice
the height (ho) of the highest object in the
monitored zone.
To avoid the shadow effect (in zones which are relevant but which cannot
fully be monitored by one flame detector), it is recommendable to place a
second flame detector in the opposite corner.

GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016

4.6 Voting
The flame detector will not give an alarm until several alarm criteria are met at the
same time. The probability of a false alarm is therefore very low. The flame
detector is for this reason suitable for an extinguishing action based on the signal
of one flame detector.
Nevertheless “voting” may be demanded in a functional specification. In that case
the “voting-system” may be applied. I.e., the flame detectors may be mounted in
the configuration as shown on the right side of this page. Use voting of 2 out of 4
flame detectors should give an alarm before the (extinguishing) output is given.
This is the correct approach for voting. Note that the fire control panel or PLC must
be suitable for the two detector dependency voting system.
Remarks
Caution: A flame detector is a line of sight detector. Voting with just two flame
detectors in not suitable. The redundant flame detector in the opposite corner
cannot be used for a 2 detector dependent output, because the shadow effect
obscures the free view of the 2nd flame detector. The second flame detector will
give an alarm in a later stage or not at all.
4.7 Mounting below a ceiling
Smoke absorbs the radiation of flames. This decreases the sensitivity of the flame detector.
UV/IR or UV flame detector: Clearance below the ceiling. C = 1.5 m (60 inch).
IR3 flame detector: Clearance below the ceiling. C = 0.5 m (20 inch).
4.8 Weather protection
In dirty or wet applications, it is recommendable to place a hood on top of the flame detector. A stainless steel metal plate of approximately 30
x 30 cm (1 sqft) can be mounted directly on top of the flame detector, without inhibiting the cone of vision of the flame detector. A similar plate
can be used to protect against potential false alarm sources of friendly fires, such as flares.
5. Mounting
For the mounting of the flame detector there are 2 options:
a. Mounting with optional swivel mount GFE-SWR-BKT(SM21), (see the separate manual).
b. Mounting on a ceiling (for example in a fume hood of a laboratory or in an engine room of a
vessel).
For option b. you need the hole pattern, shown on the right side of this page (shown in mm).

GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016

Remarks:
1. With the optional GFE-SWR-BKT(SM21) swivel mount a convenient alignment of the flame detector on the fire risk is possible.
2. We strongly recommend applying the GFE-SWR-BKT(SM21) 1 swivel mount.
6. Installation: Electrical
The flame detector has several wiring options; the most important are:
a. Wiring to a fire control panel by means of the current increase principle.
b. Wiring to a PLC by means of a 0-20 mA current output.
c. Wiring with an additional manual sensor self-test.
d. Stand-alone wiring, with direct use of the relays.
The options ato care explained in this manual. Option d can be directly seen in the electrical connection diagram.
Besides these options (at request) it is possible to:
a. Use a souring instead of a sinking line for the 0-20 mA output to a PLC.
b. Make use of an address unit of a fire control system.
c. Use a bus protocol.
For these options dedicated junction boxes are available. Please contact us or your supplier for these special options.
Steps for wiring on a fire control panel or a PLC:
1. For the cabling at least 3 or 4 wire cabling is needed, depending on the panel and the type of connection.
2. Use shielded, twisted pairs cable.
3. The diameter of the wires must be 0,5 to 1,5 mm2(24 to 16 AWG).
4. The wires must be shielded and there must be a ground wire for connection to the safety ground of the fire control panel or PLC.
5. The isolation resistance to ground must be at least 500K Ohm.
6. The length and diameter of the wires should be selected so that the flame detector will have sufficient power under all conditions (normal
and alarm), to make sure that the working voltage is never below 10 Vdc, especially not in the case of an alarm.
7. On the flame detector side of the cable leave a loop of spare cable with a diameter of +/- 10 cm (4 inch).
8. Use for the wiring under the terminals, when needed, tweezers or flat nose pliers.
9. Grounding on the control panel or PLC side: make sure that the wires stay protected as well as possible by the earth screen. Isolate,
when necessary, the earth screen and connect it to the safety ground of the panel.
10. Grounding on the flame detector side: make sure that the wires are kept protected as well as possible by the earth screen. Cut the earth
screen short and isolate it, to ensure that the screen cannot make an electrical connection with ground and with the electronics in the
detector housing. Make sure that the electronics in the flame detector housing is isolated from local ground to avoid potential differences
(ground loops).
11. Do not connect more than one flame detector per zone.
Remarks:
a. Proper shielding is important for the performance of the flame detector and the safety of the equipment.
b. The flame detector has a non-metal housing and does not have a ground lug. Thus local grounding of the housing is not necessary.
The flame detector has a cable gland with an insert included. Use the cable gland with the insert included for cables from 5.5 - 8 mm. Remove
the insert for cables with a diameter of 8 - 13 mm.

6.1 Wiring: Fire Control Panel
The flame detector can be electrically connected to a fire control panel the same way that a manual call point is connected; by means of the
current increase principle. The flame detector is connected to the fire panel with 3 or 4 wire cables. 2 wires for the power supply wiring and 1 or
2 wires for the zone. Optionally, an additional wire for the manual self-test (see section 6.3) is necessary.
The end of line resistor (EOL) is placed between the terminals 15 and 17. The alarm resistor (AL) is placed between the terminals 16 and 18.
The end of line- and alarm resistor should be adapted to the fire control panel. They are approximately the same resistors which are also used
for connecting a manual call point to a fire control panel.

GFE-SWR - INSTALLATION MANUAL - 12/2016
globalfire.pt
Principle:
The zone uses the alarm contact and the fault contact of the flame detector plus
resistors. In case of a detector fault a wire breakage is simulated. In case of a fault
followed by an alarm, a current Vn/AL is flowing through the zone. Thus an alarm
“overrides” a fault signal, as can be seen in the figure.
Remarks:
1. Normaly, the substitution resistance can be compared to connecting a conventional manual call point: 1/Rsubst = 1/EOL + 1/AL.
However, in the shown diagram the substitution resistance is Rsubst = AL, because it is only switched over the resistor AL. Because EOL
>> AL the value will be kept within the tolerances. Please consult the manufacturer of the fire control panel for the values of the resistors.
2. The alarm- and EOL resistor must be rated 2 W minimum each and the total power dissipation of both alarm- and EOL resistor should not
exceed 2 W.Use heat shrink tubing to isolate the metal parts of the EOL and the AL resistor.
3. Do not connect more than one flame detector to a zone.

4. Flame detector connected to a PLC with a separate switch for the manual self-test.
option 1 option 2
option 3 option 4
7. Commissioning and testing
Remarks:
1. The commissioning, maintenance and functional testing of the set-up must be done by skilled and authorized technicians.
2. All local laws and regulations for the commissioning and the cabling apply, including law and regulations for activating alarm systems,
extinguishing systems and other outputs.
3. For hazardous area applications appropriate regulations should be followed.
4. UV sensors are based on a Geiger-Muller counting tube, which is also applied for sensing radioactivity. If in your application an alarm is
generated, coming from the UV sensor, while the detector window is covered and the cabling/electronics are fault free, this is possibly
caused by increased radioactivity. Please consult your supplier for a possible solution.
5. If a sudden strong IR radiation source is placed in the surroundings of the flame detector, the IR sensor(s) can become saturated. Make
sure that strong IR radiation sources are kept out of the sight of the flame detector. As soon as the source is removed, the flame detector
recovers within 10 seconds to its normal performance.
6. Flame detectors have their strengths and weaknesses. Take that into consideration before you start to install this type of flame detector.

7.1 Commissioning
Before the flame detector is activated, the following steps must be executed:
1. Clean the detector window.
2. Close the housing of the flame detector.
3. Check the position and the alignment of the flame detector.
4. Check if there are potential false alarm sources in the sight of the flame detector.
5. Check if this is a correct and valuable application for a flame detector.
6. Check the cabling in between the flame detector and the fire control panel or PLC.
7. Check the shield of the cabling.
8. Check the grounding of the fire control panel or PLC.
9. Check the ingress protection and the cable gland.
10. Thoroughly tighten all fasteners.
11. Thoroughly tighten the cable gland.
12. Perform a functional test with a test lamp.
Before the final commissioning is done, the flame detector should be in use with idled outputs of the fire control panel or PLC, for a time which
should represent the normal operating conditions. During the test mode the set-up should be checked and, if needed, modified, until all flame
detectors are showing a fault free operation. After a final functional test with help of a test lamp, the commissioning can be finalized.
7.2 Testing
The flame detector has been tested in the factory. However, the flame detector should be regularly functionally tested in an “end-to-end” test
to make sure that the combination of the flame detector and panel responds properly to a fire. The detector window should be clean. A layer of
contamination, fat, oil or water lowers the sensitivity of the flame detector.
If the user defined a performance-requirement, with the help of a test fire it can be tested if the requirements are met. For a test fire, the right
fuel, the right fire size, the right detection distance should be chosen and also possible additional requirements should be considered. Make
sure that before and during the test fire all necessary safety precautions are taken, to avoid harm on persons and damage of goods, caused by
the test fire.
We supply a test lamp that is suitable for functional testing the flame detector. Read the test lamp instructions before you start the functional
test.
7.3 Failure analysis
False alarms may occur because of the following causes:
1. The flame detector is activated by a known or unknown source in the sight of the flame detector.
2. The flame detector is activated by electromagnetic interference on the cabling and/or on the electronics.
3. The flame detector is activated by wrong or damaged cabling.
4. The electronics of the flame detector is damaged.
For fault finding it is necessary to thoroughly search the root cause of the false alarm or fault and of the circumstances during the false alarm or
fault. For example time, date, weather conditions are important features for determining the cause of a false alarm or fault.
Remarks:
If you ask us for technical support, make sure that you well-reported the fault in the log.
First of all the power supply should be checked: voltage, current, ripples on the voltage signal etc. Next check all items mentioned in the
section Commissioning. Exchange, if possible, the flame detector with a spare flame detector or exchange the detector with a flame detector
on the site, which is working properly, if the set up contains more than one flame detector.
To determine if the false alarm is caused by an event in the field of view of the flame detector, the flame detector window should be covered.
Make sure that no light or other radiation can reach the sensors of the flame detector. If the flame detector is still generating a false alarm, it
may be caused by the cabling or by the electronics. Make sure that after the test the detector window is uncovered again.

8. Maintenance
Except for cleaning there is no specific preventive maintenance needed. Inspection of the following items is necessary:
1. Check the position and the alignment of the flame detectors.
2. Check if there are no potential false alarm sources in the sight of the flame detector.
3. Check if there are no obstacles which restrict the sight of the flame detectors.
4. Clean the detector window with a microfibre cloth.
5. Close the flame detector housing. Remark: Make sure that the cover of the housing (with detector window) is mounted correctly on the
housing. The sensors must be visible when you look through the detector window.
6. Check if the cabling from the flame detectors to the fire control panel or PLC is intact.
7. Check the condition of the cable shielding of the cabling.
8. Check if the earth screen of the cabling on the fire control panel or the PLC side is correctly connected to the safety ground of the panel.
9. Check if earth screen of the cabling on the detector side is correctly isolated, so that there is neither an electrical connection to ground,
nor to the electronics in the housing.
10. Check the ingress protection of the cover and the gland so that the detector is dust-proof and waterproof.
11. Check if all fasteners and the cable gland are tightened.
12. Make sure that once a year the inner side of the detector window is cleaned. (for example during a routine-inspection). Particles of the
electronics might evaporate and might deposit on the detector window.
13. Perform a functional test with help of a test lamp.
Warning: Static Electricity Hazard when cleaning the housing and swivel!
Using a dry cloth to clean the housing may cause static discharges which could result in an explosion in an explosive atmosphere. To prevent
a static arc, use a clean, damp cloth (slightly wet with water) to clean the housing in hazardous areas. The flame detector window should be
cleaned with a dry microfibre cloth.
Remarks:
1. The user is responsible for keeping the equipment in optimal condition. If there are any conditions which change the assumptions of the
safety set up, be sure that the responsible technician will take the necessary update actions.
2. Never clean the flame detector with a cleaning agent that contains silicones. Silicones absorb UV radiation and therewith make the flame
detector less sensitive. Silicones also make the surface more sensitive for contamination.
3. Do not use a liquid cleaning agent for cleaning the flame detector.
4. We recommend keeping 10% of the same type as the flame detectors in use as spare flame detector or at least one unit.
