Important

Magnetic

oi

can be performed with the

controller’s (R7404/R7494) keylock switch in either
the NORMAl or TEsT position. In NORMAl, the
controller goes into alarm and activates its outputs.
If no controller alarm output is desired, place the
keylock switch in the TEsT position before touching
the magnet to the outside of the detector. Manual

oi

operates only with the keylock switch in the

TEsT position.

During the entire test, the detector gives no indication

of alarm.

To reset the controller status and alarms, place the

keylock switch in RESET. Return the keylock switch to

NORMAL when testing is complete.

The manual oi test is nearly identical to the magnetic

oi test, except for the manner in which the test is

initiated:

• Place the keylock switch on the controller (R7404/

R7494) in the TEST position.

• Press the SELECT button to select the appropriate

detector for test.

• Press the TEST/ACCEPT button to initiate the test.

Controller and detector responses are identical to the

magnetic oi test described above.

To reset the controller status and alarms, place the

keylock switch in RESET. Return the keylock switch to

NORMAL when testing is complete.

COMMUNICATION
The X2200 is furnished with an RS-485 interface for

communicating status and other information with external

devices. The RS-485 supports MODBUS protocol, with

the detector configured as a slave device.

DATA LOGGING / EvENT MONITORING
Data logging for event monitoring capability is also

provided. The detector can log up to 1500 events (up to

1000 general and 500 alarm events). Status conditions

such as normal, power down, general and oi faults, pre-

alarm, fire alarm, time and temperature are recorded.

Each event is time and date stamped, along with the

temperature and input voltage. Event data is stored in

non-volatile memory when the event becomes active,

and again when the status changes. Data is accessible

using the RS-485 port.

INTEGRAL wIRING COMpARTMENT
All external wiring to the device is connected within

the integral junction box. The screw terminals accept

wiring from 14 to 24 AWG. The detector is furnished with

four conduit entries, with either 3/4 inch NPT or 25 mm

threads.

SIgNal PROCESSINg OPTIONS

The UV detector output (measured in counts per second)

is compared to the fire threshold (the “sensitivity” setting).

If the radiant energy level from the fire exceeds the

selected alarm threshold level, the fire alarm output is

activated. In every application, it is crucial to ensure that

the radiant ultraviolet energy level from the expected fire

at the required distance from the detector will exceed the

selected sensitivity level.

The UV detector in the X2200 can be programmed for:

Arc Rejection

Standard Signal Processing.

Arc Rejection (Recommended Factory Setting)
The Arc Rejection mode enables the detector to prevent

nuisance fire alarms caused by UV from short-duration

electrical arcs or electrostatic discharge, while maintaining

the ability to reliably detect the UV given off by a flame.

Typical applications that benefit from arc rejection logic

include electrostatic coating processes and uncontrolled

environments where transient UV sources can be present,

such as many typical outdoor applications. Most false

alarm sources have short transient UV signatures, while

fire creates a long UV signature over many seconds.

Most fires are detected in a few seconds (see response

times in Appendix A).

Standard Signal processing
Standard signal processing is recommended for

high-speed suppression systems only. To allow for

high-speed operation, the standard processing mode

does not incorporate the arc rejection programming.

This mode should only be used in a controlled, indoor

environment.
