Det-Tronics C7050 A, C, G, P UV Flame Detector - Manual (Page 3)

SYSTEM APPLICATION
The Det-Tronics model R7404 Controller and C7050
Detector provide fast, reliable flame detection in a wide
variety of applications. The microprocessor based con-
troller simultaneously monitors up to 16 C7050 ultraviolet
(UV) detectors in up to 8 different zones. The system
uses the Automatic Optical Integrity (
oi ) feature, which
provides a continuous check of detector optical sur-
faces, detector sensitivity, and electronic circuitry of the
detector/controller system. Also included is automatic
fault identification, which monitors the system for proper
operation, and provides a digital display of system sta-
tus using a numerical code. Other features include indi-
vidual zone identification and “voting” capability, as well
as manual
oi testing.
The C7050 Detector responds instantly to the ultraviolet
radiation that is emitted by a flame. It is designed for
use in hazardous locations and is particularly suitable for
use in outdoor applications because it is not affected by
wind or rain, and is insensitive to solar radiation. In addi-
tion, the detector does not respond to normal artificial
light.
Typical applications for Det-Tronics UV detection sys-
tems are:
— Wherever highly combustible materials are involved
— Where there is a need for instantaneous response to
flame
— Wherever unsupervised areas require automated fire
protection
— Where there is a large capital investment to be pro-
tected.
Examples of actual installations using the Det-Tronics UV
detector in automated fire protection systems include:
Petroleum Products
— Gasoline transport loading terminals
— Offshore drilling and production platforms
— Pipeline pumping stations
— Tank farms
— Refineries
— Marine engine rooms
— Jet engine test cells
Gaseous Fuels
— Butane and propane loading and storage
— Pipeline compressor stations
— Gas gathering facilities
— Pipelines in highly populated areas
— LNG loading, transfer and storage facilities
— Hydrogen and ammonia production and refinery
reformers
— Gas turbines
