1. RODUCT DESCRI TION
MultiFlame DF-TV7-T was designed t detect hydr carb n fires, while minimizing false
alarms. This detect r is equipped with an intelligent ptical self-test. It is certified and may
be installed in SIL2 level system. It can be directly c nnected t a wide range f traditi nal r
fire c ntr llers and n Pr grammable L gic C ntr llers (PLC).
DF-TV7-T can be fully c nfigured using the p rtable c mmunicati n terminal (TLU600),
pr viding flexibility t the user. Time delay, sensitivity and utputs c nfigurati n can be full
set up via the TLU600, a hazard us area appr ved rem te c ntr l. Optical and electr nic
parts, and utputs (current, relay…) f the detect r can be c ntr lled by the TLU.
The MultiFlame pr duct family c nsists f tw detect r versi ns:
•DF-TV7-T multi-spectrum IR Flame detect r
•DF-TV7-V c mbined UV and IR
The MultiFlame m dels are als available f r use in an addressable netw rk system with
distributed intelligence SYNTEL. This versi n is named DF-RV7-*. F r m re inf rmati n,
please refer t the Syntel m dule interface perating manual.
1.1. Applications
•Refineries
•Drilling and Pr ducti n Platf rms
•FPSO
•Fuel L ading Facilities
•C mpress r Stati ns
•LNG/LPG Pr cessing and St rage
•Gas Turbines
•Chemical Plants
•Aircraft Hangars
•Sp rts (Stadia / Gymnasia)
The sensitivity f flame detect r depends n many fact rs including, fuel type, fire size,
atm spheric c nditi ns (wind, rain, f g, etc...), the angle between the fire and detect r as
well as line f sight bstructi ns.

MultiFlame DF-TV7 Page 7 / 56 NOSP16358-03 [04/2016]
1.2. DF-TV7-T: multi-spectrum IR
The DF-TV7-T is a multi-spectrum flame detect r using three
individual infrared wavelengths. The use f three different IR
bands and a unique signal pr cessing alg rithm all ws
excellent flame detecti n perf rmances, while ffering a very
l w rate f false alarms.
The detect r can be supplied with
•A "standard range" sens r cartridge c vering m st
applicati ns
•A “high sensitivity" sens r cartridge f r special applicati ns where the maximum
sensitivity is required.
1.3. DF-TV7-V: combined UV and IR
Designed t c ver a large detecti n range while ensuring excellent immunity against false
alarms, the DF-TV7-V is the alternative when multi-spectrum IR cann t be used.
False alarms are minimized by the use f tw infrared wavelengths plus a fast acting UV
wavelength t c nfirm detecti n. This versi n is useful in difficult envir nmental c nditi ns,
such as c mbined rain and wind, rapid sunshine variati ns, h t s urces m dulati ns,
industrial lighting etc.
The DF-TV7-V is als c nfigurable f r special applicati ns,
where using just dual IR r just direct UV detecti n is
required.
The UV detect r can be sensitive t UV welding radiati n r
lightning, X rays and gamma rays.

MultiFlame DF-TV7 Page 8 / 56 NOSP16358-03 [04/2016]
1.4. Technical specifications
Each detect r is c nstructed as f ll ws:
•A wall-m unted supp rt secured by three screws and including cable gland (M20)
( pti nal). There are 2 standard entries and an pti nal ne.
•A stainless steel (316L) expl si n-pr f h using c ntaining:
•A set f tr picalized electr nic cards
•A display and infrared c mmunicati n electr nic card all wing the
c mmunicati n with the rem te c ntr l (TLU600)
•The sens r cartridge c ntains the flame detecti n circuitry. S , it is p ssible t
change the cartridge easily. The multispectrum IR detect r is als available in a high
sensitivity versi n.
•An IR c mmunicati n head is l cated bel w the detect r h using. It is used f r
c mmunicati n with the maintenance hand-held terminal (TLU).
•A metallic supp rt cable ( pti nal) c nnects the wall m unting supp rt and the
h using, making the maintenance easier.

1.5. Detection Cartridge
Cartridges are expl si n pr f designed. They are c mm n t all MultiFlame line f pr ducts
in rder t reduce spares parts.
•DF-RV7-T and DF-RV7-V: Netw rk “Telecapt r” flame detect r line,
•DF-TV7-T and DF-TV7-V: “Telecapt r” flame detect r line.
Alarms inf rmati n is indicated by the flashing f a red LED in the c mmunicati n head and
f tw LEDs l cated in fr nt f the detecti n cartridge. Inf rmati n and detect r status is
als available via the rem te c ntr l TLU 600/610 display.
The cartridge must not be removed when the detector is powered.
1.6. Optical self-test function
Sens r cartridges have ne r m re self-test ptical lamps all wing detecti n integrity test.
This is a full ptical test where the signal fr m each test lamp is transmitted thr ugh the
sens r wind w and reflected back t the detecting elements via a p lished stainless steel
reflect r.
In additi n t this cyclic self-test, the test lamps can be used when a "flame simulati n test"
is initiated by the maintenance terminal. Further testing is n t required t c nfirm c rrect
perati n.
1.7. Wireless Configuration Tool
Inf rmati n and status f the detect r are available via the wireless c nfigurati n t l
TLU600/610.
C nfigurati n and tests are perf rmed using this wireless c nfigurati n t l (IrDA pr t c l).
This t l is c mm n f r all Simtr nics MultiFlame, MultiXpl and
MultiT x pr ducts.
The TLU600/610 pr vides access t devices which, therwise, w uld
require maj r l gistic perati ns f r maintenance r f r
c nfigurati n (calibrati n …).
F r m re details, please refer t the wireless c nfigurati n t l
perating manual.
S me versi ns are equipped with the HART c mmunicati n pr t c l, enabling
the use f all functi ns available with the TLU (see §7)

4. INSTALLATION
The detector must be installed in accordance with its certification and with the
standards of the appropriate authority in the country concerned.
4.1. Location
The detect r sh uld be p siti ned ab ve the targeted danger z ne and at a distance
c rresp nding t the type f fire it have t detect.
Be aware f p tential radiati n s urces as these may trigger a false alarm. If p ssible, put
the detect r in clean z ne, sheltered fr m maj r vibrati ns. F r maximum effectiveness,
av id t exp se the head f sens r t alternati n f light and shade (passing vehicles, tree
branches…).
IR s urces (particularly if m dulated) like h t machinery, exhaust utlets, etc. may als de-
sensitize the detect r, masking the radiati n fr m a small fire.
F r detect rs using the UV wavelength:
Do not position the detector behind a glass window as this blocks UV radiation.
Locations where smoke, gas or vapours capable of absorbing UV radiation could
accumulate (e.g. ceilings) should be avoided as well.
Detect r fields f visi n may be verlapped, particularly if the devices are used in a v ting
c nfigurati n.
The detect r sh uld have a direct line- f-sight t the p tential fire s urce. Partial
bstructi n may reduce detecti n rate.
F r an inclinati n f 10°, there is a
semicircle blind z ne, directly bel w
the detect r, with a radius f 0.8 times
the detect r height. With this angle, the
ptical axis “t uch” the gr und at a
distance f 5.7 times the height.

MultiFlame DF-TV7 Page 18 / 56 NOSP16358-03 [04/2016]
4.2. Mounting
Use the tw 7 mm diameter h les and the half sl tted h le t secure the supp rt.
It is highly rec mmended t install the supp rt with cable-gland d wnward in rder t av id
water infiltrati ns. In case f h riz ntal p siti n, it is advised t make ne r tw l ps with
the cable at the entry f the cable-gland.
Figure 3 : Drilling dimensi ns f r supp rt fixing.
4.2.1. Multi-position support
Multi-position wall mount bracket AS054 4.2.1.1.
In this c nfigurati n, the supp rt is
made by tw brackets c nnected each
ther by tw CHC M6 screws.
The main bracket is fixed n the wall,
all wing the detect r t be in
h riz ntal p siti n, perpendicular t
the wall. The vertical angle is adjusted
using ne f the 4 t p h les f bracket.
Start by fixing the base supp rt. The adjustment and
terminati n f cables are perf rmed int the base nly.
This limits the exp sure f the electr nic c mp nents in
the h using t a minimum.

Ball pivot bracket – AS048 4.2.1.2.
The detect r is supp rted by a c mpletely adjustable supp rt. The assembly f the bracket
with the device is d ne by a CHC M14 x 24 screw. These ne is used t set the lateral
rientati n.
4 fixati ns (M8) fix the supp rt t the wall r n a tube (2 inch r 2.5 inch). Tighten tw CHC
M14 screws all ws the vertical rientati n.
