Det-Tronics PM-5MPX Dual Spectrum IR - Manual (Page 3)

IMPORTANT
Be sure to read and understand the entire
instruction manual before installing or operating
the Model PM-5MPX Detector. Only qualified
personnel should install, maintain or operate the
flame detection system.
CAuTION
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified
in this manual, safety protection may be impaired.
CAuTION
The wiring procedures in this manual are intended
to ensure proper functioning of the device under
normal conditions. However, because of the many
variations in wiring codes and regulations, total
compliance to these ordinances cannot be
guaranteed. Be certain that all wiring complies
with the NEC as well as all local ordinances. If in
doubt, consult the authority having jurisdiction
before wiring the system.
The Dual Spectrum ® PM-5MPX is a FM Approved
infrared flame detector that provides reliable flame
detection in semiconductor fabrication facilities and other
manufacturing environments. It provides fast protection
against fires, has a maximum 110° field-of-view, and is
approved for use in hazardous (classified) locations as
described below. The detector response to explosive
fires is as fast as 25 milliseconds.
The PM-5MPX (P/N 421132) is encapsulated and
enclosed in an extremely compact molded polypropylene
housing approximately 3.1 x 3.1 x 1.7 inches in size. (See
Figure 1.) They are intended for mounting in locations
where space is at a premium. The IP67 polypropylene
housing is resistant to attack by a broad range of
chemicals. The housing has four holes in the mounting
flange that allow it to be attached to a bracket or other flat
surface. Electrical connections are made via an integral
multiconductor cable.
FM Approved for:
1) performance of the flame detector per FM 3260: 2000,
2) compliance with National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) Standard 72 of the detectors and the
installation described in this document,
3) the suitability for use in protected semiconductor
fabrication areas, as described in the FM Loss
Prevention Data Sheets 7-7/17-12, and
4) the suitability of the installation for use in hazardous
(classified) locations.
NOTE
These detectors are specifically tuned and tested
to respond to fires as described in this manual. The
detector response to other fuel sources not
described in this manual may vary. Please contact
Detector Electronics Corporation for further
information.
APPLICATIONS
The PM-5MPX is intended for fast detection of
hydrocarbon fueled fires in harsh chemical environments.
The detector is ideal for semiconductor wet benches
and is suitable for clean-rooms, gas cabinets, and other
indoor applications.
