2Product Overview
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.
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).
Warning:
The Simulator is not field-repairable due to the meticulous alignment
and calibration of the sensors and the respective circuits. Do not
attempt to modify or repair the internal circuits or change their
settings, as this will impair the system's performance and void the
SPECTREX product warranty.
2.1 Flame Simulator Compatibility with Flame Detector

2.2 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
2.3 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

2.6 Certification Instructions
2.6.1 General Instructions
•The equipment marking is defined as follows:
Ex II 2 G D
Ex db ib op is IIB + H2T4 Gb
Ex ib op is tb IIIC T135°C Db
–20°C to +50°C / –4°F to +122°F
•The equipment may be used with flammable gasses and vapors with
apparatus groups IIA and IIB+H2 T4 in the ambient temperature range of –
4°F to +122°F / –20°C to +50°C.
•Inspection and maintenance of this equipment should be performed by
suitable trained personnel, in accordance with the applicable code of practice,
e.g. EN 60079-17.
•Repair of this equipment should be performed by suitable trained personnel,
in accordance with the applicable code of practice, e.g. EN 60079-19.
•Certification of this equipment relies upon use of the following materials in its
construction:
