Standard Sensor
(up to 200°C)
3.2 OVERVIEW
The FFD is a Filter Failure Detector for the continuous monitoring of fabric-filter baghouses to identify bag-filter
degradation.
The instrument combines the benefits of Probe Electrification technology and dual local alarms with dual alarm
relays, and a scalable 4–20 mA output from a single, integrated unit to deliver pragmatic and dependable identification
of increases of dust emissions and for monitoring leaking or broken bags.
3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

05INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL – OWNER'S RECORD FFD MANUAL – FILTER FAILURE DETECTOR
3.3 SENSOR
The sensor comprises a metal probe rod that protrudes into the stack and connects to the stack via the hexagonal
body connected to the sensor enclosure, which contains the advanced electronics module. The sensor is fitted to the
stack using a ½″BSPP threaded socket and is secured with a lock nut. The instrument requires 24 V DC, nom. Refer to
page 6 for details of ATEX-related conditions and requirements.
The FFD is suitable for use in applications of up to 200°C (390°F).
Adjustable Alarm Levels
Dual alarming enables operators to configure early warning and limit (high) alarm levels providing flexible sensitivity to suit
the process. Dust levels are averaged – or smoothed – using a ‘walking window’ filter to avoid triggering false alarms due
to temporary spikes in dust levels, e.g. during bag-filter cleaning cycles.
3.4 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The FFD sensor utilizes Probe Electrification measurement technology. The sensor measures the interaction between
the particulate in the air stream and the sensing rod to induce a charge signature. The instrument extracts a specific
frequency band and filters out the DC current caused by direct particle collisions. The technology outperforms conventional
DC tribo-electric systems by extending the range over which the instrument has minimal cross-sensitivity to changing
velocity while remaining unaffected by the build-up of particulate on the sensing rod, thereby minimizing signal drift.

06 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL – OWNER'S RECORD FFD MANUAL – FILTER FAILURE DETECTOR
4.1 HAZARDOUS AREAS
The sensor may be installed in a metal stack or duct containing hazardous dust, while any ancillary equipment must be
installed in the designated Safe Area. The sensor unit is mounted to the ductwork such that the metal probe rod protrudes
into the flow of the particulate to be monitored.
4.1.1 Hazardous Zone Classification
The instrument is suitable for use in the following Ex zones:
INSIDE STACK OUTSIDE STACK
Gas zone Zone 2 Zone 2
Dust zone Zone 22 Zone 22
4.2 CENELEC CODES
4.2.1 Gas Atmospheres
The marking for explosive gas atmospheres includes the following CENELEC codes (see also section 4.5 below):
• Ex nA IIB T6 Gc for the sensor enclosure.
• Ex nA IIB T3 Gc for the sensor body and probe when the maximum stack ambient is +200°C.
The nA applies to the non-sparking connections, and also signifies that the equipment is incapable in normal
operation of producing sparks or hot surfaces that may cause ignition.
4.2.2 Dust Atmospheres
The marking for explosive dust atmospheres includes the CENELEC codes (see also section 4.5 below):
• Ex tc IIIC T80°C Dc for the sensor enclosure.
• Ex tc IIIC T200°C Dc for the sensor body and probe when the maximum stack ambient is +200°C.
The tc applies to protection by enclosure, and also signifies that the equipment is incapable in normal operation
of producing sparks or hot surfaces that may cause ignition.
4.3 SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF SAFE USE FOR SENSOR ENCLOSURE
a) All connections to the equipment must not be inserted or removed unless the area in which the equipment is installed
is known to be non-hazardous, or the circuit to which it is connected has been de-energized. This includes the plugging/
unplugging of the screw terminals from the PCB-mounted headers.
b) Neither the enclosure nor any of the labels attached to it are to be rubbed with a dry cloth or anything else that might
cause a build-up of electrostatic charge.
c) A connection must be made between the earth stud on the outside of the enclosure and the duct wall. The connection
shall be made as follows:
• The cable shall have a cross-sectional area of at least 4 mm².
• The cable shall be connected using an anti-vibration nut and washer or a similar arrangement of comparable integrity.
If the probe is removed while a potentially flammable dust or gas is present, this connection shall be maintained during the
withdrawal of the probe.
d) This equipment is suitable for an ambient temperature range of –20°C to +50°C and the standard range of atmospheric
pressure; the user/installer shall ensure that the process temperatures and pressures, including within the dust stack,
do not cause these parameters to be exceeded.
