About this Guide 7
About this Guide
This guide describes the SharpEye Flame Simulator and its features and
provides instructions on how to operate and maintain the simulator.
This guide includes the following chapters:
Chapter 1, Introduction, provides a general overview of the product,
principles of operation, and performance considerations.
Chapter 2, Operation Instructions, describes how to operate the
simulator, including instructions regarding replacement and charging of
the battery.

Introduction 9
1Introduction
To comply with local standards and jurisdictional authorities, "end-to-end"
loop testing of fire protection alarm systems, including detectors, should be
performed periodically. Many safety authorities and plant managers of high-
value/high-risk assets and facilities insist on quarterly "end-to-end" testing
of their entire fire protection systems using an external flame simulator.
SPECTREX flame simulators emit electromagnetic radiation in a unique
sequential pattern corresponding to and recognizable as fire by specific
SharpEye Flame Detector models. This allows for testing under real fire
conditions without the associated risks of an open flame. SPECTREX flame
simulators are ATEX certified EExd for use in hazardous zones 1, 2, 21, and
22, and are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. When fully
charged, the flame simulator operates for at least 1,000 tests without
recharging.
Starting fires in hazardous locations is not permitted, and can be dangerous
in non-hazardous locations. Using an external, portable SPECTREX flame
simulator is the best means to perform a complete, functional "end-to-end"
test of the detector and the fire protection system, without the need to start
an actual fire . The SPECTREX flame simulator is the only non-hazardous
and safe method to test the flame detector’s sensors, internal electronics,
alarm activation software, cleanliness of the viewing window/lens, wiring
integrity, actual relay activation, and proper functionality of any other
outputs used (mA, RS-485, HART).

Simulator
P/N
Compatible with:
Multi IR Flame Simulator
FS-1400
40/40M
1.2 Features and Benefits
Used for maintenance and testing of flame detectors
Ability to activate the flame detector from a distance of up to 12m
Rechargeable battery included
Operates at least 1,000 tests before battery recharge is necessary
1.3 Principles of Operation
The FS-1400 emits IR energy, which is filtered to emit electromagnetic
radiation in a unique sequential pattern, corresponding to and recognizable
as a fire by the SharpEye IR3 Flame Detector.
The simulator includes a reflector that accumulates the IR energy and
directs it towards the detector.
The FS-1400 includes a laser diode and a sight for guiding the simulator to
the center of the flame detector.

Product Certification 11
1.4 Simulator Status
During the first 5 seconds of operation, the laser defines the simulator’s
status.
Normal Status
When switching to normal status, the laser beams for 5 seconds before IR
radiation is activated. These 5 seconds are used to aim the simulator to the
center of the detector before activating IR radiation. IR radiation is then
activated for 50 seconds. After 50 seconds, IR radiation stops and the
simulator cannot operate for 20 seconds (delay between activations).
Fault Status
Low Battery –The laser flashes 3 times in 3 consecutive cycles. IR
radiation will be activated.
IR Fault –The laser flashes 3 times in 5 consecutive cycles. IR radiation
will not be activated.
Total Failure –The laser does not turn on. IR radiation will not be
activated.
