3.7.3 Power Supply
3.7.3.1 Power Supplies
You can use a commercially available power supply with an output voltage of 24 V that meets
the protective separation requirements. See section 6.1.2 Electrical Safety – Requirements to
Be Met by Third-party Manufacturers.
3.7.3.2 FN20, FN30-20 Power Supply
NOTICE
The FN20 (115 V) is UL Listed approofed.
WARNING!
Instalation
The wires must be installed/attached in such a way that, if a wire is unintentionally loosened,
a sufficient distance is still maintained between SELV/PELV and the other voltages.
WARNING!
Secure output contact and secure indicator contact
Danger due to electric shock! This may result in personnel injury.
Basic insulation is used for protective separation, i.e. you may not use SELV (safety extra
low voltage) and mains voltage at both of the contacts at the same time.
You can use the FN20 power supply to operate the F300K at mains AC voltage. The power
supply is designed for top-hat rail mounting (for F300K can be supplied as an option with built
in an IP65 housing).
The power supply is equipped with safety output relays (to EN 298) for mainsAC voltage. The
power supply complies with SIL 2 (Safety Integrity Level) to EN 61508.
When you connect the F300K to the FN20 power supply, you do not connect all of the wires
of the connecting cable to the terminals. You have to connect the surplus wires to separate
terminals. These terminals are part of the F300K's IP65 housing.
You will find the technical specifications for this power supply in section 14.1.3.1 FN20, FN30-
20 Power Supply.

within the scope of EN 60950 or UL 60950.
The power supply is available in two versions:
• For top-hat rail mounting
• As a built-in unit in a housing
When connecting the F300K to the FN30-00 power supply, not all wires of the connection ca-
ble are connected to the power supply connections. Surplus wires must be connected to sep-
arate terminals. These terminals are part of the housing.
Technical data for this power supply unit can be found in section 14.1 Technical Data.
3.7.4 Coupling relays
To connect the contact outputs of the F300K to voltages higher than 42 V or voltages without
protective separation, you have to use coupling relays. These must met the protective sepa-
ration requirements. See section 6.1.2 Electrical Safety – Requirements to Be Met by Third-
party Manufacturers.
In addition, you also require appropriate certification for the coupling relay with a safety con-
tact output (flame signal) for the purpose for which it is to be used (e.g. to EN 298 and/or to
EN 61508 with SIL III or SIL II).
The LAMTEC FN20 and FN30-20 power supply has coupling relays for the flame signal.
These meet EN 298 und EN 61508-2 SIL 2 requirements.
If you want suitable coupling relays or have any questions, please contact our support staff at
[email protected] or on [phone].

3.7.7 Flame Scanner Testing Device
Fig. 3-15 Positions of the internal jumper UV + IR
You can use the FFP30 to test that your flame scanner is working properly.
The testing device simulates a variable flame frequency.
If the internal jumper(1) is plugged on IR, UV or IR can be chosen via the toggle switch.
If the internal jumper is plugged on IR+UV, the switch position IR as well as UV rays can be
detected simultaneously. The latter can be interesting for flame scanner with dual sensor.
Flame scanner testing device is off in the average position of the toggle switch. The flame
scanner testing device switches off automatically after a preset time of approximately 4 min to
reserve the battery resource.
The testing device is screwed onto the flame scanner.
For the recognition of the flame simulation, the F300K must be set to sufficiently sensitive (in-
crease, trigger threshold and frequency).
To change the battery, see chapter 8.1.1 Flame Scanner Testing Device replace Battery
WARNING!
After a possibly necessary modification of the F300K setting for the test, the original
