2 General Safety Instructions
2 General Safety Instructions
2.1 Classification of the Safety Instructions and Warnings
Thefollowingsymbolsare used inthisdocumentto draw the user'sattentiontoimportant safe-
ty information. They are located at points where the information is required. It is essential that
the safety information is observed and followed, and that applies particularly to the warnings.
DANGER!
This draws the user's attention to imminent danger. If it is not avoided, it will result in death or
very serious injury. The plant including its surroundings could be damaged.
WARNING!
This draws the user's attention to the possibility of imminent danger. If it is not avoided, it may
result in death or very serious injury. The plant including its surroundings could be damaged.
CAUTION!
This draws the user's attention to the possibility of imminent danger. If it is not avoided, it may
result in minor injuries. The plant including its surroundings could be damaged.
NOTICE
This draws the user's attention to important additional information about the system or system
components and offers further tips.
The safety information described above is incorporated into the instructions.
Thus, the operator is requested to:
1 Comply with the accident prevention regulations whenever work is being carried out.
2 Do everything possible within his control to prevent personal injury and damage to prop-
erty.

2 General Safety Instructions
2.2 Product Safety
WARNING!
This product is state-of-the-art technology and complies with the generally accepted
safety-related rules and regulations.
Every device is tested before delivery to ensure that it is working properly and safely.
Only use this product when it is perfect condition and in accordance with the manual, the
prevailing regulations and guidelines and the applicable safety and accident prevention
regulations.
WARNING!
The risk of danger in the event of external fire, traffic and wind, flood waves and earthquakes
depend on the installation situation and the installation site to be assessed separately where
appropriate.
2.3 Product-specific Dangers
DANGER!
The F300K is not designed to switch off the fuel valves.
The subsequent signal processing must be carried out in the control system, which is
adapted to suit the combustion plant.
WARNING!
The F300K is a safety device. Only specialist staff of the manufacturer or people approved by
the manufacturer may intervene. No interventions by anyone else are permissible. This ap-
plies, in particular, in the event of a defective fuse.
WARNING!
Radio interference suppression of the output contacts
In the interests of safety, ensure when installing the output contacts that:
The user suppresses radio interference in such a way that the contacts of the safety relay
contact output cannot be shorted by defective components of the suppressor circuitry.
WARNING!
The power supply of the flame scanner and the user interface with 24 VDC must be ensured
by an external power supply unit, which supplies SELV or PELV.

NOTICE
The basic functions of the variants are identical. The differences lie merely in how they are
operated and their displays.

4 Functional Description
4 Functional Description
TheF300Kanalysestheflickering oftheflame intheUV orIRrange.Forpreparation forsignal
processing there is a semiconductor sensor (1) on a button strip. For each sensor signal,
the level is adjusted by means of two adjustable amplifiers (2). These two amplifiers are lo-
cated on the main board, as are the two microcontrollers (4). Due to the amplitude and the
course taken by the signal to be evaluated over time, both microcontrollers detect the exist-
ence of the flame.
The safety of the device is monitored by means of both software and hardware diagnostics.
The ready contact (8) indicates that the flame scanner is ready for operation.
The mode selector (11) allows you to choose between three different sets of parameters.
These parameters are stored in the EEPROM and influence the analysis of the current sensor
signal of the flame to be monitored.
There is a FSB interface (9) available for operation. The F300K is operated by means of an
external or internal user interface (7) or the PC with F300K-Remote-Software. An LED dis-
play (10) makes the status of the flame scanner visible. The flame intensity is provided as
non-failsafe information with a 4 (0) ... 20 mA current loop (5).
The circuit is supplied with 24 VDC (3) by an external power supply unit with safe separation
(e.g. FN20 or FN30).
An internal temperature sensor monitors the temperature in the device.

5.1 Operating and display elements
You can adjust and operate the F300K compact flame scanner by using either the user inter-
face (integrated in the F300K or as an external device) or the F300K Remote Software.
You will find a description of the F300K Remote Software in a separate manual (publication
no. DLT7652).
NOTICE
To extend the service life of the display, it only remains switched on within a limited tempera-
ture range. If the temperature of the display rises to over 70 °C, it is deactivated. In this phase
it is not possible to carry out parameterisation or read out information using the display. In or-
der to get information about the reason (C0013) of the deactivated display, it is activated brief-
lyafterpressingakey. Ifthetemperatureofthe displaydropsbelow70°C, itisactivatedagain.
Alternatively, the F300K Remote Software or an external user interface FB30 can be used to
communicate with the F300K from a cooler place.
NOTICE
The accessibility and operation of the different displays depend on the current access level.
