2Introduction
The Spyglass IR3-V flame detector will detect fires and explosions extremely quickly allowing
preventative action to be initiated rapidly to help minimize the consequences!
•Detection within 40 milliseconds of fireballs or explosions
•Standard fire is detected within 1.5s from 100 ft. (30m), 4.1s from 230 ft. (70m) and 9.0s
from 262 ft. (80m).
The detector provides fast response, high performance and reliable detection of all types of
hydrocarbon fires (visible and non-visible). The detector addresses slow growing fires as well as fast
eruption of fire using improved triple IR (IR3) technology. It operates in all weather and light
conditions with highest immunity to false alarms.
The detector operates in all weather and light conditions. The detector provides high-definition (HD)
video output of the monitored area with clear imaging of a fire event and of personnel at distances up to
100 ft (30m) allowing rescuers to discover the exact situation before entering the hazardous area. It
will automatically record a video of a fire event (1 min pre-alarm/up to 3 mins post-alarm).
In addition, the detector provides high-definition (HD) video output of the monitored area with clear
imaging of a fire event and of personnel at distances up to 100 ft (30m). This allows the rescue team to
be aware of the exact situation before entering the hazardous area. The detector automatically records
video of fire event (1 minute pre- and up to 3 minutes post-alarm initiation). These features, along with the
built-in event logger, provide additional means to study the cause and development of fire events .
As an option, the color HD camera can be replaced with a near IR camera if greater flame definition is
needed :
2.1 Key Features
•Extreme sensitivity - up to 260ft (80m) for a 1 ft2(0.1m2) N-heptane pan fire.
•1.5 second detection time - for 1 ft2(0.1m2) N-heptane pan fire at up to 100 ft. (30m)
distance.
•Ultra-fast detection mode - detection within 40 milliseconds for fireballs or explosions.
•HD video output with Automatic HD video recording of fire events. Data/Event logger:
Alarms, faults and other relevant events are logged to non-volatile memory.
•Option: Improved false alarm immunity in high CO2 applications, like aircraft hangars or
helidecks.
•Option: Improved speed of response - (0.5s) for enclosed spare protection, like automotive

2.5.5 Flame Simulator
The Spyglass IR3-V may be tested using the SP-F-
SIM-IR3. The Spyglass
flame simulator family
provides a fast and convenient means of
periodically testing the detector and control system
end-to-end. Maintenance costs can be reduced as
the detectors can be tested in situ without needing
a hot work permit.
Figure 7 : Flame Simulator kit
Flame Simulators emit IR radiation which simulates
a fire to the detectors. The simulators are
lightweight, easy to use, with testing distances of up
to 21.3 ft. (6.5m) and capable of more than 100
activations between battery charging. Spyglass
Flame Simulators are ATEX approved for use in
hazardous Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, Zone 22
areas.

3Installation
This chapter does not attempt to cover all of the standard practices and codes of installation. Rather, it
emphasizes specific points of consideration and provides some general rules for qualified personnel.
You must always observe special safety precautions.
3.1 General Considerations
This section includes important information
•To help obtain optimal performance, the detector should be aimed toward the center of the
hazard or area to be monitored and protected ("detection zone") and have, to the extent that
is required, an unobstructed view of the protected area. Whenever possible, the detector face
should be tilted (aimed) down at an angle to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.
•Do not start an installation until the performance target, system configuration, installation
location and coverage considerations have been defined by the responsible person.
To ensure optimal performance the following guidelines should be addressed:
Sensitivity
To determine the sensitivity level, the following issues should be considered:
•The size of the fire to be detected at the determined distance.
•The type of flammable fuel.
•Potential sources of false alarms that may be present (e.g., naked flames, hot process).
Spacing and Location
Consider the following factors when determining the number of detectors and their locations in the
protected area:
•The size and shape of the protected area
•The nature of the hazards, including materials stored or used and the protected objects
•The sensitivity of the detectors
•If there are any obstructed lines of sight
•The field of view of the detectors (See Figure 9 and Figure 10)

Figure 10 : Vertical field of view
Environment
•Environmental conditions including but not limited to dust, snow or rain can reduce the
detectors sensitivity and require additional consideration.

Hot Work
•Arc welding should not be performed within 12 ft. (3.5m) of the detector. It is recommended
that the system be inhibited during welding operations in situations where the possibility of a
false alarm cannot be tolerated.
•Gas welding requires a system inhibit, since the gas torch is an actual fire.
•Arc welding rods can contain organic binder materials in the flux that burn during the welding
operation and are detectable by the device.
•Welding rods with clay binders do not burn and should not be detected. However, a system
inhibit is always recommended, since the material being welded may be contaminated with
organic substances (paint, oil, etc.) that will burn and may be of the size that should be
detected
3.2 Preparations for Installation
The installation must comply with national and local regulations and standards applicable to flame
detectors (e.g., NFPA 72) and all local and common engineering practices. It is recommended to
consult with the authority having jurisdiction.
Prior to installation:
•Make sure that you have all the components and tools required to complete the detector
installation readily available before beginning installation. In cases where you cannot
complete the installation in a single session, secure and seal the detectors and conduits before
leaving site.
•Use color-coded conductors or suitable wire markings or labels for the wiring. You may use
14 to 17 AWG (2.5mm2 to 1.0mm2) multi-strand wires for the site wiring. The selection of
wire gauge should be based on the number of detectors used on the same line and the
distance from the control unit, in compliance with specifications.
•Individually screen twisted pair cable is recommended for RS485 terminals.
•Use suitably rating wire for the application certification and temperatures.
