Fire and Gas
Detection/Releasing System

IMPORTANT
Be sure to read and understand the entire
instruction manual before installing or operating the
Eagle Quantum System. Only qualified personnel
should install, maintain or operate the Eagle
Quantum System.

WARNING
The hazardous area must be de-classified prior to
removing a junction box cover or opening a
detector assembly with power applied.

CAUTION
1. The wiring procedures in this manual are
intended to ensure proper functioning of the
devices 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 a
qualified official before wiring the system.
2. Some Eagle Quantum devices contain

Section I
System Overview
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Eagle Quantum System serves multiple roles in the
monitoring and protection of hazardous areas. It is a
“fire detection and extinguishing agent release system”
combined with a “hazardous gas monitoring system,”
integrated on a fault tolerant digital communication
network. The Eagle Quantum system utilizes an
advanced distributed architecture that is equally adept
at monitoring analog process signals like combustible
or toxic gas concentrations, and discrete “contact
closure” type devices such as manual fire alarm “call
boxes” and heat detectors, as well as Det-Tronics
optical flame detection. This sensor information is then
transmitted to the control unit to execute the fire
suppression logic, to control agent release, signaling,
and annunciation outputs, and to communicate with
external operator interface systems for configuration
and monitoring.

MAJOR COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
The system consists of three basic components (see
Figure I-1):
INTELLIGENT FIELD DEVICES ON LOCAL OPERATING
NETWORK/SIGNALING LINE CIRCUIT (LON™/SLC)
The LON/SLC is a fault tolerant, two wire, digital
communication network, arranged in a loop starting and
ending at the Local Control Unit. The LON/SLC
supports up to 244 intelligent field devices spread over
a distance of up to 32,500 feet (10,000 meters). The
LON/SLC serves as the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) for
the fire detection/suppression aspects of the system.
LOCAL CONTROL UNIT (LCU)
The LCU functions as the “heart” of the Eagle Quantum
system. The LCU contains three replaceable modules

that perform all the communication, command, and
control functions for the system. It includes all the
required operator interface controls for a fire alarm
system (silence, acknowledge, reset, isolate),
annunciation relays, a local information display, and
communication interfaces for computer based
configuration and monitoring of the system.
LOCAL OUTPUT UNIT (LIOU)
The LIOU consists of a rack controlled by the LCU that
can hold up to six FenwalNet 2000 modules. These
modules allow the control of Notification Appliance
Circuits (NACs), fire suppression agent release (CO2,
Halon, FM200) using supervised relays, as well as
unsupervised relays for other needs.
THEORY OF OPERATION
During normal operation, each node on the network
monitors its attached sensor or other input, determines if
it has an alarm condition, analyzes its own health,
checks network integrity, and then packages up this
information for transmission to the communication
gateway, located in the LCU. This Standard Periodic
Report (SPR) contains 16 pieces of “discrete”
information on the status of the node and, where
applicable, also contains the analog value of its sensor.
At the time of node configuration, the report rate of the
SPR can be set to anywhere between 1 and 10
seconds.
In the LCU the Communication Gateway collects all of
the incoming SPRs from the field devices and puts the
information into “datatables.” Datatables are organized
areas of memory in the gateway that can be “read” by
external “host devices” using one of the gateway’s serial
ports. If any of the SPRs indicate an out of tolerance
condition, the gateway will display this information on its
integrated faceplate display. The gateway also has four
programmable relays whose action can be
programmed to events in the SPRs of the monitored
nodes.
In addition to SPRs, nodes used as a part of the fire
detection and suppression system, such as fire
detectors or Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs) interfaced
with heat detectors, manual call points, etc. send a
separate Standard Supervisory Report (SSR) to the
Logic Controller, located in the Local Control Unit. The
Logic Controller, which manages the fire suppression
logic, uses these SSR messages to verify that the nodes
used in the fire alarm and suppression logic are active
and able to communicate. If the Logic Controller does
not receive SSRs from a required node, it will
annunciate a “trouble” condition.
I–3
If a “Fire Alarm” is detected by a Flame Detector or
Initiating Device Circuit (IDC), the affected node will
send a special Acknowledged Exception Report (AER)
directly to the Logic Controller. The AER is transmitted
as soon as an alarm is detected to maximize system
performance. When the Logic Controller receives the
AER, it sends the originating node a message
acknowledging its receipt. If the node originating the
AER does not receive an acknowledgement, it will re-
transmit the AER until it receives an acknowledgement.
This exchange of messages is used to ensure that
critical messages are received at all appropriate
registers throughout the system.
Once the Logic Controller receives a Fire Alarm
message from a field device, “fixed logic” will activate
built-in annunciation circuits, which consist of both a
visible and audible alarm. The “programmable logic”
will execute any specified voting, timing, and/or zone
logic and subsequently activate the appropriate output
circuits for Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs), agent
release circuits, and unsupervised relay outputs.
The faceplate of the Logic Controller has two
pushbuttons. “ACKNOWLEDGE” will silence the built in
audible alarm and illuminate the “Acknowledge LED”
located on the faceplate next to the “Acknowledge”
pushbutton. “SILENCE” will silence selected NACs in
the field and illuminate the “Silence LED” located on the
faceplate next to the “Silence” pushbutton. The Logic
Controller also features a keyswitch to reset the system
after the event is over.
NETWORK OPERATION DURING A
FAULT CONDITION
The Eagle Quantum system utilizes a unique patented
technique for detecting problems in the communication
network wiring. This state-of-the-art feature minimizes
the possibility of a communication breakdown in the
event of a wiring fault in the communication loop and
can also serve as an aid in troubleshooting.
The communication network is constructed as a loop
that starts and ends at a pair of communication ports
located at the LCU. The nodes communicate with the
LCU over the LON/SLC as shown in Figure I-2.
Each field device node contains both the hardware and
software necessary to isolate and re-route
communication in the event of a network wiring fault.
When a problem occurs somewhere within the network
wiring, the communication gateway located in the LCU
annunciates the fault, while the fault isolation circuitry in
the affected nodes isolates the section of the network
where the fault has occurred. Communication is

All Eagle Quantum field devices are designed so that a Figure I–4—Communication with Multiple Wiring Faults
“pass-through” circuit is created for the network wiring on the Network
on a loss of power to the node. This ensures network
integrity even when a node is down for service or has
been damaged. The Communication Gateway in the
LCU will report powered-down nodes as “not-
communicating.”

IMPORTANT
Since it is impossible to predict where a network
fault might occur or exactly what effect it will have
on actual system operation, it is important to
diagnose and repair any fault as soon as possible
after it is detected to ensure reliable system
operation.

 Section II
Local Control Unit (LCU) and
Power Supplies
OVERVIEW
The Local Control Unit (LCU) is the “heart” of the Eagle
Quantum system. External host devices such as PLC’s
or DCS’s interface through the LCU, the fire detection
and releasing logic resides in the LCU, control of the
releasing, signaling, and annunciation outputs are
handled by the LCU, and the Local Operating
Network/Signaling Line Circuit (LON/SLC), through
which all field devices communicate, starts and ends its
loop at the LCU. Physically, the LCU consists of a three
slot rack style enclosure that houses the Communication
Gateway, Logic Controller, and Isolation Module. These
three modules plug into the backplane and are secured
with thumb screws. All external wiring is routed through
conduit entries at the bottom and sides of the unit. The
wiring terminals are protected by a removable cover.
The LCU can be installed in Class I, Division 2
hazardous locations. Refer to Appendix A (FMRC) and
Appendix B (CSA) for details.
LOGIC CONTROLLER
The Eagle Quantum Logic Controller uses seven
microprocessors and parallel processing techniques to
execute the logic used for fire suppression. Its wealth
of logical operators allow for the easy development of
nearly any imaginable type of cross-zone monitoring,
voting, and timed operations that might be needed in a
fire suppression system. The Logic Controller supports
ANSI/NFPA 72 Class A, Style 7 communication with field
devices.
COMMUNICATION GATEWAY
The Eagle Quantum Communication Gateway
communicates through two serial links for configuration
and monitoring. This allows for device configuration
using a comprehensive set of Det-Tronics authored
software tools. The monitoring is provided to the
Operator Interface Station(s) (OIS) through Modbus or
Allen-Bradley compatible protocols. The gateway also
provides four programmable relays that can be used to
annunciate conditions being monitored by the devices
on the LON/SLC.
ISOLATION MODULE
The Isolation Module protects the integrity of the
LON/SLC wiring by isolating shorts and monitoring for
ground faults. It also provides electrical isolation for the
two serial communication ports between the gateway
and host devices.
II–1
OPTIONAL LCU VERSIONS
An optional EQ2101LCU is available with provisions for
two 24 vdc power inputs. Two reliable and independent
24 vdc supplies, in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 72
section 1-5.2, must be supplied. If either of the supplies
is missing or a wiring problem occurs, a trouble
condition will be annunciated.
Logic controllers can be added to the communication
network to segment it into logical groups. Up to four
logic controllers can be used on each network.
Auxiliary gateways can be added to provide additional
relays or serial port connections to PLCs or DCSs. Up to
three auxiliary gateways can be added to the Quantum
network. Gateways located outside the LCU can be
turned off without disrupting LON/SLC communication
with the LCU.

DESCRIPTION
The Eagle Quantum Communication Gateway is used in
conjunction with Det-Tronics software to configure the
system as well as to provide information on an ongoing
basis to external systems such as PLCs and DCSs. It
also provides local display and four programmable
relay outputs. In addition, the gateway provides a
heartbeat signal used to test for LON/SLC integrity, to
provide time and date information to field devices, and
to monitor for the continued presence of all configured
field devices.
The gateway receives and stores the current status and
process variable information from all devices on the
“Local Operating Network/Signaling Line Circuit”
(LON/SLC) communication loop. It services all valid
requests by Modbus RTU masters and/or Allen-Bradley
DF1 masters that are received through its two host
interface serial ports. When acting as a Modbus RTU
master, the gateway will automatically transfer key
process variable and status information to a default or
user selected Modbus RTU slave address and register
offset.

(measured in counts per second) is displayed for UV
and UV/IR detectors.
LEDS
Five faceplate LEDs are provided for indicating the
status of the gateway relays. When a relay is reset, the
corresponding LED is also reset.
RELAYS
The communication gateway is provided with five
relays. Four of the relays are general purpose relays.
The fifth relay functions as a fault relay, responding only
to gateway or LON network faults. The relays have form
C contacts rated 5 amperes resistive at 30 vdc.
The specific function of the four general purpose relays
is programmable through Det-Tronics software. The
relays are selectable for latching or non-latching
operation and can be configured for normally energized
or de-energized operation.
CAUTION
When the relays are used as gas alarm outputs in
the non-latching mode, they must be connected to
another device that will perform the latching
function.
RESET PUSHBUTTON
The programmable relays can be reset by pressing the
reset pushbutton or external reset (resetting all latching
relays) or by a command from the EagleVision NT
software (resetting individual relays). The reset function
resets the relay, regardless of the status of the initiating
device. This allows additional events to trigger the
same relay, even though the first device may still be in a
triggering mode.
Automatic Diagnostics
The gateway features self-testing circuitry that
continuously checks for problems that could prevent
proper system response. The gateway performs three
forms of diagnostics: self-diagnostics, LON/SLC
diagnostics, and device diagnostics.
Self-diagnostic tests monitor the condition of the
gateway. LON/SLC diagnostics check for shorts and
opens in the LON/SLC wiring. In the event of a
problem, the fault is annunciated in the gateway status
word and the gateway fault relay is activated.
For device diagnostics, the gateway provides a
watchdog timer for each configured device on the loop.
Each time the device reports to the gateway, the timer
accumulator is reset to zero and the timer starts over. If
a device does not respond before its watchdog timer
expires, the gateway sets the “not communicating” bit in
the status word for that device.
Fault Tolerant Communication
Fault tolerance is provided by constructing the
LON/SLC as a loop that starts and ends at a pair of
network communication ports on the gateway. If a fault
occurs somewhere in the network wiring, fault isolation
circuitry in the communication modules isolates the
problem section of the network. When the gateway
detects the fault, it is immediately annunciated. The
gateway then reconfigures the network so data can be
transmitted to all devices.
This feature minimizes the possibility of a
communication breakdown in the event of an open or
short in the communication loop. A single open or short
on the LON/SLC will not affect system communication
performance. In the event of multiple opens or shorts,
only those detectors between the opens and shorts will
not be able to communicate with the LCU, even though
they will continue to function.

DESCRIPTION
These power supplies are available with 10, 30 or 75
ampere outputs. Input voltage is selectable for 120, 208
or 240 vac. Refer to Section X or Table VI-5 (Section VI)
for power supply specifications.
EQ2100PSM
The EQ2100PSM Power Supply Monitor is used in
conjunction with an EQ21xxPS power supply and
backup batteries to provide power for the Eagle
Quantum system. Since the power supply monitor
II–8
resides on the communication loop (LON), any trouble
condition related to system power will immediately be
reported through the Local Control Unit. Status
conditions being monitored include power supply
failure, loss of AC power, loss of battery power, power
ground fault, AC voltage, DC voltage and battery
charging current levels.
The output of the power supply monitor is a status
message that is sent along the communication loop to
the gateway and logic controller in the Local Control
Unit (LCU). System response to the message is
determined at the time of configuration. The power
supply monitor supports ANSI/NFPA 72 Class A, Style 7
communication with the LCU.
Enclosure
The power supply monitor must be located in a
controlled non-hazardous area and must be mounted in
a suitable metallic nationally recognized test laboratory
(NRTL) labeled NEMA rated enclosure.
Fault Tolerant Network
Like other Eagle Quantum network devices, the power
supply monitor utilizes a unique patented technique for
detecting network wiring problems. This feature
minimizes the possibility of a communication breakdown
in the event of a wiring fault and can also serve as an
aid in troubleshooting.
A single open or short on the network will not affect
system communication between the field devices and
the LCU. System communication will continue until the
wiring problem can be repaired.
Status LEDs
The power supply monitor has three LEDs to provide a
visual indication of status conditions:
Green — On when power is applied to the device.
Red — On (flashing) indicates a trouble
condition.
Yellow — Used for factory diagnostic purposes.
EQ2200IDCGF

with a third party power supply.
 Section III
EQ2100LIOU
Local Output Unit
OVERVIEW
The Local Output Unit (LIOU) consists of a six position
card rack. Available modules include:
Relay Module — four independently programmable
unsupervised relay contacts.
Release Module — one release circuit and three
signaling circuits.
Signal Audible Module — four independently
programmable signaling circuits.
These modules can be installed in the rack in any
position. The Local Control Unit (LCU) automatically
reads the output module’s type and address on power-
up. It is recommended that modules performing like
functions be inserted adjacent to each other to facilitate
identification and field wiring runs.
The assembly is controlled and supervised by the local
control unit (using an RS-485 serial communication link)
and must be mounted nearby (less than 20 feet). Up to
four LIOUs can be controlled by the LCU, adding a
maximum of 24 output modules to the system. When
multiple LIOUs are used, the last one in the chain must
be no more than 20 cable feet from the LCU.
NOTE
Input modules are not currently available for the
LIOU.
ENCLOSURE
The LIOU must be located in a controlled non-
hazardous area and must be mounted in a suitable
metallic nationally recognized test laboratory (NRTL)
labeled NEMA rated enclosure.
FAULT LED AND RESET SWITCH
Each card in the LIOU is furnished with a yellow fault
LED and a Reset switch. During Normal operation, the
LED is off. The yellow LED turns on when the Reset
button is pressed or a fault occurs. Pressing the Reset
button resets the microprocessor on the card, causing it
to re-initialize. At this time, the Trouble light on the LCU
is also turned on.
If the Reset button is pressed with an output energized,
the output is de-energized until the event that triggered
the output re-occurs. (Outputs are “event driven.”)
III-1
The yellow LED also turns on if:
– An output fault occurs (signal audible and agent
release modules only). The LED is reset automatically
when the fault clears.
– A microprocessor fault occurs.
– The card is not configured.
– A loss of communication with the LCU occurs (RS-
485). If an output is on during a loss of
communication, the output will remain in the current
state and can only be reset using the reset switch on
the Logic Controller.
RELAY MODULE

Operating Mode
The operating mode determines the type of logic that
the UV flame detector will use for processing fire signals
(either standard or arc rejection).
ARC REJECTION MODE
The arc rejection mode (recommended) 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. The arc rejection mode is
not recommended unless these false alarm sources are
present within the application to be protected. 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.
STANDARD MODE
In the standard processing mode, the detector output
(measured in counts per second) is compared to the
fire threshold (the “sensitivity” setting as described
below). If the radiant energy level from the fire exceeds
the selected alarm threshold level, the time delay
begins (if a time delay is selected). If the radiant energy
level from the fire remains above the selected sensitivity
level for the duration of the time delay, 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.
Standard signal processing is recommended for
controlled indoor applications only.
The arc rejection algorithm examines the radiant energy
level detected within a specified unit of time (timed
gate). Detector output is determined by three variables:
— sensitivity level
— gate length
— number of consecutive gates required.
Different combinations of these variables allow for
various levels of transient arc rejection capability. There
are four arc rejection levels (very high, high, medium,
and low) that are selectable for each detector through
the PC. Refer to Table IV-2.
The proper arc rejection setting for a given application
must be determined through testing. For indoor
applications with known electrostatic energy fields
within 15 feet of the detector, an arc rejection setting of
“very high” or “high” is typical. For outdoor
applications, “medium” or “low” arc rejection settings
are typical.
It is recommended that each detector be thoroughly
tested at the programmed arc rejection setting within
the ambient conditions that will be present during
normal operation. This will help to ensure that the
selected arc rejection setting is proper for the
application.
Sensitivity
Whether the Standard or Arc Rejection mode is
selected, the sensitivity setting must always be
programmed. The selected sensitivity level determines
the fire alarm threshold setpoint. The higher the
sensitivity level, the greater the detection range, but the
possibility of false alarms will be increased. Four
sensitivity levels are selectable. Refer to Table IV-3.
The sensitivity setting must be appropriate for the
anticipated fire size at the required distance from the
detector.
Time Delay
Arc rejection mode — If the fire signal meets the
programmed arc rejection requirements, the time delay
begins. A fire output is generated if the fire signal
continues for the duration of the time delay.
Standard mode — A fire output is generated only if the
fire signal exceeds the sensitivity setting for the entire
duration of the programmed time delay.
Automatic or Manual oi
The o i system uses an internally generated UV test
signal to determine the relative condition of the detector
and its optical surfaces.
If automatic o i testing is selected, the o i test is
automatically performed once every minute. The
automatic oi test does not generate an alarm output or
interfere with normal detector operation.
The manual oi test is initiated using a button on the
point display screen at the PC. The manual oi test can
be used in addition to automatic oi to verify correct
system operation.
Fire Output Latching
When latching operation is selected, the fire alarm
signal is cleared by removing input power for a
minimum of 0.1 second.

Fault Latching
If the fault output is set for latching, the fault will not
clear until it is corrected and the unit is reset. If a fire
occurs, the unit will indicate a fire, over-riding the fault
condition, i.e., the fault signal will clear if not latched. If
a fault is still present after the fire has been
extinguished, the unit will again indicate a fault until the
problem has been corrected and the unit is reset.
EQ2200UVHT HIGH TEMPERATURE
UV FLAME DETECTOR
DESCRIPTION
The EQ2200UVHT UV Flame Detector provides UV
flame protection in continuous duty high temperature
applications, such as turbine compartments,
enclosures, generator rooms, etc. where ambient
temperatures can continuously exceed +75°C (+167°F).
The EQ2200UVHT is an electronic module assembly
that is used in conjunction with a high temperature rated
C7050B UV detector (with DE1888K3 high temperature
rated UV sensor tube). The two devices are mounted in
separate explosion-proof, watertight enclosures.
The UV detector is rated for continuous duty in
environments up to +125°C (+257°F). The electronic
module is rated up to +75°C (+167°F).
NOTE
The electronic module cannot be located in the
high temperature area.
The UV detector and electronic module assembly can
be separated up to 165 feet (50 meters) using high
temperature rated 4 core shielded cable.
NOTE
In accordance with NFPA 72, the maximum
separation distance is 20 feet (6 meters) using
conduit or equivalent protection against
mechanical damage.
LED
Detector status is indicated by a red LED that is visible
through the viewing window on the cover of the
electronic module junction box.
Refer to the “EQ2200UV UV Flame Detector” section
above for a description of features, operating
characteristics and software selectable options of Det-
Tronics Eagle Quantum UV detectors.
IV-4
EQ2200UVIR FLAME DETECTOR
DESCRIPTION
The EQ2200UVIR Series Flame Detector is designed to
provide reliable fire protection in applications where the
use of either ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) detectors
alone can result in false alarms. When used alone, a UV
detector can respond to sources of ultraviolet radiation
besides fire, such as lightning, x-rays or arc welding.
Likewise, an IR detector can respond to various hot
objects, such as flickering or chopped radiation from
electric heaters or exhaust manifolds. The
microprocessor based EQ2200UVIR combines both a
UV and a single frequency IR sensor in a single
detector and requires simultaneous response of both
sensors to generate a fire alarm. These two detecting
elements monitor different portions of the radiation
spectrum and have virtually no common sources of
false alarms. This enables the detector to respond to a
real fire while ignoring potential false alarm sources
such as arc welding, x-rays, or hot vibrating objects.
Microprocessor based circuitry located inside the
detector junction box continuously monitors the two
sensors, evaluating the signal(s) with fire and fault
algorithms to determine the current status of the
detector. When both sensors simultaneously detect the
presence of fire, the microprocessor generates a fire
signal, which is immediately sent over the LON/SLC to
the logic controller in the Local Control Unit (LCU). The
LEDs, visible through the UV sensor viewing window,
are also immediately illuminated. In addition, a
watchdog timer assures that the detector’s operating
program is running properly.
Detector Output
The output of the device is a status message that is sent
to the gateway and logic controller in the LCU along the
communication loop. System response to the message
is determined at the time of configuration. The detector
supports ANSI/NFPA 72 Class A, Style 7 communication
with the LCU.
Status Conditions
Detector status conditions include normal operation,
fire, fault, UV only, and IR only. A fire alarm signal is
generated when both UV and IR sensors are active.
The fire alarm status has the highest priority and will
override a fault condition.
Addressability SOFTWARE SELECTABLE OPTIONS

Device identification is accomplished by setting rocker
switches on an eight position DIP switch (valid address
range is 5 to 250).
Alarm Log
Each detector maintains an alarm log in non-volatile
memory. The time and date for the last 8 alarms are
logged.
Enclosure
The explosion-proof NEMA/Type 4X enclosure is
available in either aluminum or stainless steel and is
designed for use in a variety of hazardous locations.
LEDs
Detector status is indicated by a pair of red LEDs
(illuminated simultaneously) that are visible through the
viewing window of the UV sensor.
The following options are selectable through a PC
running Det-Tronics configuration software:
Processing Mode
The UV portion of the detector offers a choice of two
different types of logic that can be used for processing
fire signals — either standard or arc rejection.
ARC REJECTION MODE
The arc rejection mode (recommended) enables the
detector to prevent nuisance fire alarms caused by
short-duration electrical arcs or electrostatic discharge,
while maintaining the ability to reliably detect a flame.
The arc rejection mode is not recommended unless
these false alarm sources are present within the
application to be protected. Typical applications that
benefit from arc rejection logic include any uncontrolled
environments where transient radiation sources can be
present, such as many typical outdoor applications.

Table IV-4 indicates the condition of the LEDs for each
detector status.
Automatic Diagnostics
The microprocessor based detector is equipped with
advanced fault detection and diagnostic capabilities.
The LED indicators on the UV sensor module provide
the user with visual annunciation of the problem area.
In addition, the point display screen at the OIS provides
a variety of information regarding detector status as well
as the actual UV and IR signal levels present at the
detector. Refer to Table IV-5 for a list of status
conditions.
The arc rejection algorithm examines the radiant energy
level detected within a specified unit of time (timed
gate). The output of the detector is determined by three
variables:
— sensitivity level
— gate length
— number of consecutive gates required.
Different combinations of these variables allow for
various levels of transient arc rejection capability. There
are two arc rejection levels (medium and high) that are
selectable for the detector through the OIS. The proper
arc rejection setting for a given application must be
determined through testing.

IV-6
It is recommended that each detector be thoroughly
tested at the programmed arc rejection setting within
the ambient conditions that will be present during
normal operation. This will help to ensure that the
selected arc rejection setting is proper for the
application.
STANDARD MODE
In the standard processing mode, the UV sensor output
(measured in counts per second) is compared to the
fire threshold (the “sensitivity” setting as described
below). If the radiant energy level from the fire exceeds
the selected alarm threshold level, the time delay
begins (if a time delay is selected). If the radiant energy
level from the fire remains above the selected sensitivity
level for the duration of the time delay, a fire alarm
signal is generated. In every application, it is crucial to
ensure that the radiant energy level from the expected
fire at the required distance from the detector will
exceed the selected sensitivity level.
Standard signal processing is recommended for
controlled indoor applications only.
Sensitivity
Whether Arc Rejection or Standard mode is selected,
the sensitivity setting must always be programmed. The
selected sensitivity level determines the fire alarm
threshold setpoint. The higher the sensitivity level, the
greater the detection range, but the possibility of false
alarms will be increased. Four sensitivity levels are
selectable. (Sensitivity levels for UV and IR are selected
separately.)
The sensitivity setting must be appropriate for the
anticipated fire size at the required distance from the
detector. Refer to the “Specifications” section of this
manual for additional information.
Time Delay
A time delay from 0 to 7 seconds is selectable.
STANDARD MODE
A fire output is generated only if the fire signal exceeds
the sensitivity setting for the entire duration of the
programmed time delay.
ARC REJECTION MODE
If the fire signal meets the programmed arc rejection
requirements, the time delay begins. A fire output is
generated if the fire signal continues for the duration of
the time delay.
IV-7
Automatic or Manual oi
The EQ2200UVIR is equipped with the Optical Integrity
(oi) feature. The oi test is performed on both the UV
and IR sensors to check the cleanliness of the detector
optics, as well as the proper functioning of the sensors
and electronic components of the detector. If a
problem should occur, it is quickly detected.
The detector is user programmable (from a PC running
Det-Tronics configuration software) for automatic o i
testing. If automatic testing is selected, the oi test is
automatically performed on each sensor. The rate for
the UV sensor test is once per minute. The rate for the
IR sensor is field selectable from once a minute to once
every four hours. If a fault is detected, a trouble signal
is sent to the LCU over the LON/SLC. A fault condition
is indicated at the logic controller and the gateway and
also by the LEDs on the detector’s UV sensor. The
automatic oi test does not generate an alarm output or
interfere with normal detector operation.
The manual oi test is initiated using a button on the
point display screen at the OIS. A successful test is
signaled by the OIS. The manual oi test can be used in
addition to automatic o i to verify correct detector
operation.
NOTE
The manual oi test does not generate an alarm
output or actuate any system outputs.
Fire Output Latching
When latching operation is selected, the fire alarm
signal is present until cleared by a reset command from
the PC.
EQ2200DCU AND EQ2200DCUEX
DIGITAL COMMUNICATION UNIT
DESCRIPTION
The EQ2200 Series Digital Communication Unit (DCU)
digitizes a 4 to 20 ma analog signal and transmits the
value as the process variable portion of its Standard
Periodic Report (SPR) to the Communication Gateway
located in the LCU. All circuitry is housed in a single
explosion-proof/watertight enclosure for use in the area
of detection.
Designed for use with the Eagle Quantum system, the
DCU provides a unique technique for detecting and
isolating opens or shorts in the Local Operating
Network/Signaling Line Circuit (LON/SLC) wiring. This
95-8470
fault isolation method allows for communication integrity
in the event of a single wiring fault in the LON/SLC
wiring.
The DCU is approved for use with a variety of Detector
Electronics sensors including catalytic combustible gas
sensors, the PointWatch IR gas detector, as well as
electrochemical sensors (hydrogen sulfide, carbon
monoxide, chlorine, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen
dioxide). It will also accept any sensor with a linear 4 to
20 ma output signal and allows for one person non-
intrusive calibration.
Inputs
The DCU features one 4 to 20 ma non-isolated input,
with an input impedance of 200 ohms in series with a
protection diode. (When used with a Det-Tronics
catalytic combustible gas sensor, a separate transmitter
board converts the millivolt output to a 4 to 20 ma
signal.) The DCU also monitors its 24 vdc supply
voltage and reports to the PC when requested.
Output
The Standard Periodic Report (SPR) is sent to the
gateway at the rate determined at the time of
configuration (from one to ten seconds).
Calibration
A magnetic reed switch, located on the terminal board,
enables calibration of the sensor without opening the
enclosure. The switch is activated by placing a
calibration magnet at a specified location on the side of
the enclosure. Once the calibration mode has been
entered, the DCU steps the user through the process.
For details, refer to the “Calibration” section of this
manual.
Addressability
Device identification is accomplished by setting
switches on an eight position DIP switch (valid address
range is 5 to 250).
Status LEDs
Three LEDs are located at the center of the
communication module circuit board and are visible
through the window on the enclosure cover.
The green LED serves as a power-on indicator and is
illuminated whenever power is applied. During normal
operation, only the green LED is illuminated.
IV-8
The red LED is used to indicate a calibration, power-up,
fault or alarm condition. The flashing rate of the red
LED indicates the following conditions:
Power-up = Pulsed at a 0.5 Hz rate
Calibration = Pulsed at a 1 Hz rate or on steady
Fault = Pulsed at a 4 Hz rate
Alarm = Illuminated continuously.
NOTE
If the communication module has not been
configured, the red LED blinks at the 4 Hz rate.
The amber LED is provided for factory diagnostic
purposes and is not used in the system. Illumination of
the amber LED normally indicates a failure in the
communication chip. Replacement of the
communication module circuit board is required.
Calibration Log
The DCU keeps a calibration log in non-volatile memory
that can be used by the operator to evaluate the
remaining life of some sensors. This log includes the
zero, span, date and time for each successful
calibration. An aborted calibration is indicated by zeros
in the zero and span values. The calibration log is
cleared when the sensor replacement switch is pressed
and the calibration is successfully completed.
The initial calibration is logged in position one, where it
remains for the life of the sensor. If more than 8
calibrations are performed without the sensor
replacement switch being pressed, the newest
calibration data will replace the second oldest so that
the initial calibration data can be saved. The old
calibration data will be lost. This feature enables sensor
sensitivity trending to aid in maintenance or
troubleshooting.
The analog value for the sensor is represented in raw
analog to digital counts 0 to 4095, where 0 represents 0
ma and 4095 represents 24 ma.
Alarm Log
A log of low and high alarms is stored in each DCU.
Time, date and alarm type are logged for each alarm
event. A maximum of eight events can be stored. If
more than eight events are logged, the oldest event will
be overwritten.
Enclosure
The explosion-proof, watertight NEMA/Type 4X
enclosure is designed for use in a variety of hazardous
locations. The cover is furnished with a window to allow
the operator to view the three status indicator LEDs on
the communication module PC board.
Terminal Wiring Board
All external wiring is connected to screw terminal
connectors on the terminal wiring board located inside
the junction box.
EQ2500ARM AGENT RELEASE
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Each output is rated at 2 amperes. Auxiliary input
terminals are provided for additional 24 vdc output
power where needed.
Solenoids/Initiators
The releasing output devices listed in Table IV-6 are
recommended for use with the Agent Release Module.
The solenoids listed in Table IV-7 are compatible with
the Agent Release Module for deluge and pre-action
applications.
Addressability
Device identification is accomplished by setting
switches on an eight position DIP switch (valid address
range is 5 to 250).

The EQ2500ARM Series Agent Release Module (ARM) Status LEDs

is located on the LON/SLC and provides agent release
capability for the Eagle Quantum system. The device is
controlled by programmable logic in the Logic
Controller and can be programmed for “Single,” “Cross”
or “Counting” Zone Style initiation. Optional time delay,
abort and manual release sequences allow the output to
be programmed for use in unique applications.
The Agent Release Module can monitor and control two
output devices (rated for 24 vdc), which are
programmed and energized together. The release
circuits are compatible with a variety of solenoid or
initiator (squib) based suppression systems.
The release circuit is supervised for open circuit
conditions. If a trouble condition occurs (open circuit or
solenoid supply voltage less than 19 volts), it will be
indicated at the LCU.
Three LEDs located at the center of the circuit board
provide a visual indication of device status conditions.
Green — On steady when power is applied to the
device.
Red — Blinking at a 4 Hz rate with the LED on 50%,
off 50% of the time indicates a local trouble
condition such as an open output circuit or
low solenoid supply voltage.
Blinking at a 1 Hz rate with the LED on 5%,
off 95% of the time indicates an isolate
condition.
Blinking at a 1 Hz rate with the LED on 95%,
off 5% of the time indicates release and
isolate.

Yellow — On indicates a malfunction in the electronic

circuitry. Replace the module.

• Identify all high risk fire ignition sources.
• Be sure that enough detectors are used to adequately
cover the hazardous area.
• For fastest response time, locate the detector as close

axis of the detector’s cone of vision provides the
highest sensitivity.

alarm sources within the cone of vision of the detector.
• For outdoor applications, the detector should be
aimed downward at least 10 to 20 degrees to prevent
it from scanning the horizon. This minimizes response
to distant UV sources outside the protected area. See
Figure 1.
• Dense fog, rain or ice will absorb UV radiation and
reduce the sensitivity of the detector.
• If smoke is expected before flame, it is recommended
that smoke or other additional detectors be used in
conjunction with the UV detector.
If possible, fire tests should be conducted to verify
correct detector positioning and coverage.
UV/IR DETECTORS
FALSE ALARM SOURCES
UV: The UV sensor is insensitive to the ultraviolet
component of solar radiation. However, it will
respond to sources of UV besides fire, such as
electric arc welding, lightning, high voltage corona,
x-rays and gamma radiation.
IR: The detector has been designed to ignore steady
state infrared sources that do not have a flicker
frequency characteristic of a fire, however, it should
be noted that if these steady state infrared sources
are hot enough to emit adequate amounts of
infrared radiation in the response range of the IR
sensor and if this radiation becomes interrupted
from the view of the detector in a pattern
characteristic of a flickering flame, the IR sensor
can respond.

Figure 1—Detector Orientation Relative to Horizon
Any object having a temperature greater than 0°
Kelvin (–273°C) emits infrared radiation. The hotter
the object, the greater the intensity of the emitted
radiation. The closer the infrared source is to the
detector, the greater the potential for a false alarm.
The IR sensor can respond to IR radiation sources
that can meet the amplitude and flicker
requirements of the detector such as vibrating hot
objects.
Although the detector is designed to reduce false
actuations, certain combinations of ambient
radiation must be avoided. For example, if IR
radiation with an intensity that exceeds the fire
threshold of the IR sensor should reach the detector
as a flickering signal, and if at the same time an
electric arc welding signal also reaches the
detector, an alarm output will be generated.
NOTE
Radiation generated by false alarm sources such
as periodic lightning or sparks in the area can be
effectively ignored by the detector using the arc
rejection feature or time delay.
Arc Welding
Electric arc welding is a source of intense ultraviolet
radiation. UV radiation from arc welding readily scatters
and can deflect across significant distances, even when
direct obstructions exist. Any open door or window can
allow nuisance UV radiation from arc welding to enter
an enclosed area.
The UV/IR detector does not respond to arc welding
beyond 10 feet from the detector. However, a UV only
signal will be generated in response to the intense UV
radiation generated by the arc welding, and at
distances closer than 10 feet the heated metal from the
welding can become a false alarm source for the IR
sensor.
FACTORS INHIBITING DETECTOR RESPONSE
Windows
Glass and Plexiglas windows significantly attenuate
radiation and must not be located between the detector
and a potential flame source. If the window cannot be
eliminated or the detector location changed, contact
Detector Electronics for recommendations regarding
window materials that will not attenuate radiation.
Obstructions
Radiation must be able to reach the detector in order for
it to respond. Care must be taken to keep physical
obstructions out of the line of view of the detector. In
addition, UV or IR absorbing gases or vapors must not
be allowed to accumulate between the detector and the
protected hazard. See Table V-1 for a list of these
substances.
Smoke
Smoke will absorb radiation. If accumulations of dense
smoke can be expected to precede the presence of a
flame, then detectors that are used in enclosed areas
should be mounted on the wall approximately 3 feet (1
meter) from the ceiling where the accumulation of
smoke is reduced.
Detector Viewing Windows
It is important to keep the detector viewing windows as
free of contaminants as possible in order to maintain
maximum sensitivity. Commonly encountered
substances that can significantly attenuate UV and/or IR
radiation include, but are certainly not limited to, the
following:
Silicones
Oils and greases
Ice buildup
Dust and dirt buildup
Paint overspray.
V-3
UV/IR DETECTOR POSITIONING
IMPORTANT
Detectors should not be positioned so that their
cone of vision can scan the horizon. Rather, they
should be directed down over the designated
hazardous area to reduce the likelihood of picking
up radiation from distant sources. See Figure 1.
Detectors should be located in positions best suited for
covering the area to be protected. Whenever practical,
they should be placed where they will be easily
accessible for cleaning and other periodic servicing.
Particular attention should also be paid to potential false
alarm sources within the cone of vision of the detector,
such as distant arc welding, or the rotating blades of a
fan or surface vibration of an IR source, which could
allow a flickering IR signal to reach the detector. Rain
or ice can absorb radiation, which can reduce the
capability of the detector. For outdoor applications, aim
the detector downward to minimize the buildup of water
or ice on the detector viewing windows and to prevent
the cone of vision from scanning the horizon. This
minimizes response to distant radiation sources outside
the protected area.
GAS DETECTOR POSITIONING
The sensor must be properly located to enable it to
provide maximum protection. The formula for
determining the most effective number and placement
of sensors varies depending on the conditions at the job
site. The individual performing the installation must rely
on experience and common sense to determine the
quantity of sensors and the best sensor locations to
adequately protect the area.
The following factors should be considered for every
installation:
1. What kind of gas is to be detected? If it is lighter
than air (acetylene, hydrogen, methane, etc.), place
the sensor above the potential source. Place the
sensor close to the floor for gases that are heavier
than air (benzene, butane, butylene, propane,
hexane, pentane, etc.) or for vapors resulting from
flammable liquid spills. However, note that air
currents can cause a gas that is heavier than air to
rise. In addition, if the gas is hotter than ambient
air, it could also rise.
2. How rapidly will the gas diffuse into the air? Select
a location for the sensor as close as practical to the
anticipated source of a gas leak.
95-8470
3. Ventilation characteristics of the immediate area
must also be considered. Movement of air will
cause gas to accumulate more heavily in one area
than another. The sensor should be placed in the
area where the most concentrated accumulation of
gas is anticipated. Also consider the fact that many
ventilation systems do not operate continuously.
4. The sensor should be pointed down to prevent the
buildup of moisture or contaminants on the filter and
to ensure proper operation. For PointWatch, refer to
instruction manual 95-8440.
5. The sensor must be accessible for testing and
calibration. The use of the Sensor Separation Kit
will be required in some installations.
6. Catalytic sensors should be located where they are
safe from potential sources of contamination that
can poison the sensing element.
7. Exposure to excessive heat or vibration can result in
premature failure of any electronic device and
should be avoided if possible. Shielding the device
from intense sunlight will reduce solar heating and
can increase the life of the unit.
For additional information on determining quantity and
placement for sensors in a specific application, refer to
Instrument Society of America (ISA) Transaction Volume
20, Number 2, titled “The Use of Combustible Detectors
in Protecting Facilities from Flammable Hazards.”
CATALYTIC GAS SENSORS
CAUTION
Exposure to a high level of gas can have an
adverse effect on the sensitivity of catalytic sensing
elements. If the level of gas at the sensor should
reach 100% LFL, it is important that it be tested
and recalibrated if required. In some cases, it may
be necessary to replace the sensor.
If an over-range condition should occur, the user
must exercise caution, since a highly explosive
condition could exist. The hazardous area should
be checked with a portable detection instrument to
determine the actual level of combustible gas
present.
For best calibration results, allow a new sensor to
operate for several hours to ensure a stable output
before performing calibration. For the highest degree of
accuracy, perform a second calibration after 24 hours.
V-4
When a sensor is exposed to a different or new
environment, calibration should be checked frequently
to determine the proper interval between periodic
calibrations.
Before performing calibration, the operator should
examine the sensor filter (flame arrester) to be sure that
it is not missing or damaged. If the filter is defective or
missing, it must be replaced. In some cases, an
exposed sensing element can act as an ignition source.
It should also be noted that a dirty cover can
significantly reduce the sensitivity of the sensor.
CATALYTIC SENSOR OPERATION
The sensing element used in the combustible gas
sensor consists of a pair of elements. One is an active
catalytic sensing element, and the other is inactive and
acts as a temperature compensating reference element.
Both elements are composed of a wire coil encased in
ceramic. The active element has a catalytic coating
applied to its surface, however, the reference element is
glazed so that it does not react to the presence of a
combustible gas/air mixture. The pair is computer
matched to have the same electrical resistance.
In the presence of a combustible gas/air mixture, the
resistance of the active sensing element increases in
proportion to the concentration of gas at the sensor.
The change in resistance of the active sensing element,
relative to that of the reference element, is used to
determine the actual level of combustible gas present at
the sensor.
Both elements operate at a high temperature and are
enclosed by a porous stainless steel cup (flame
arrester). See Figure V-2. This cup allows the diffusion
of gas to and from the sensing element, but prevents
the ignition of the atmosphere outside the sensor should
the combustible gas concentration exceed its LFL.
A barrier is placed between the element pair to prevent
thermal interaction and to prevent the transfer of
catalytic material from the active element to the surface
of the reference element.
All catalytic type sensors require oxygen to detect
combustible gases. The sensor response will decrease
if enough combustible gas displaces the normal oxygen
present in air. The sensor should not be used where the
oxygen level is less than 10%. See Figure V-3.
Figure V-4 shows the response of a typical sensor to
various levels of combustible gas. Note that a reading of
40% LFL will be given at 2.0% methane (40% LFL) and
also at 80.0% methane, well above the upper flammable
limit of methane. Although gas levels above the upper
flammable limit will not propagate a flame, it stands to
reason that somewhere between the leak and clear air

WHT
RED

BLK
there will be a flammable mixture.

CAUTION
It is possible for the display to drop to a low % LFL
reading after going into high alarm and still have an
unsafe level of combustible gas present.
Therefore, precautions should be taken to ensure
that the combustible gas has been cleared before
classifying the area as safe.

There are a variety of factors that can cause a decrease
in the sensitivity of catalytic type combustible gas
sensors. Interfering or contaminating substances that
can adversely affect the response of the sensor to

3. Flame arrester clogged as a result of painting Phosphate esters

V-6
C. Materials that remove the catalytic metals from the
active element of the sensor.
Some substances react with the catalytic metal
forming a volatile compound. This erodes the metal
from the surface. With sufficient exposure, most or
all of the metal catalyst can be removed from the
surface of the active element of the sensor.
CALIBRATION GAS
Before calibrating a sensor, check the label on the
calibration gas cylinder to ensure that the correct gas
type and concentration are being used. If a different
gas type is being used for calibration, refer to Det-
Tronics Technical Note No. GTN01 for “K-Factor”
information (Det-Tronics form number 99-1068-02).

Halogens and compounds containing halogen are

materials of this nature.

Examples:
Chlorine
Bromine
Iodine
Hydrogen Chloride, Bromide or Iodide
Organic halides:
Trichloroethylene
Dichlorobenzene
Vinyl chloride
Freons
Halon 1301
(Bromotrifluoromethane).

A brief exposure to one of these materials can

temporarily increase the sensitivity of the sensor.
This results because the surface of the active
element is increased due to etching. Prolonged
exposure continues the etching process until the
sensitivity of the sensor is degraded, resulting in
shortened sensor life.

D. Exposure to high concentrations of combustible

gases.

Exposure of the sensor to high concentrations of

combustible gases for extended periods of time
can introduce stress to the sensing element and
seriously affect its performance. After exposure to
a high concentration of combustible gas,
recalibration should be performed and, if
necessary, the sensor should be replaced.

The degree of damage to the sensor is determined

by a combination of the type of contaminant, its
concentration in the atmosphere, and the length of
time the sensor is exposed. When a sensor has
been exposed to a contaminant or a high level of
combustible gas, it should be calibrated at the time,
followed by an additional calibration a few days
later to determine whether a significant shift in
sensitivity has occurred.

E. A combination of accessories such as rain shields

and dust covers is not recommended and can
result in slow response to a gas leak.

condition. “Active” indicates a +24 VDC
ground fault condition.
Circuit 2 – “Active” indicates a loss of AC input
power.
“Open” indicates a loss of battery power.
EQ2200IDCSC SERIES INITIATING DEVICE
CIRCUIT SHORT CIRCUIT
The EQ2200IDCSC Initiating Device Circuit Short Circuit
(IDCSC) provides two supervised digital inputs for use
with dry contact inputs from devices such as relays,
pushbuttons, key switches, etc. The IDCSC supports
ANSI/NFPA 72 Class B Style C (3 state, open/short
circuit) supervised input circuits. Each circuit uses its
own end of line (EOL) resistor for monitoring circuit
continuity and a series resistor for each contact.
1. Remove the cover from the junction box.
2. Remove the communication module from the
junction box. Connect external system wiring to the
appropriate terminals on the terminal block inside
the junction box. See Figure VII-17 for terminal
block location and Figure VII-19B for terminal
identification. The input to the IDCSC consists of
one or more normally open switches, with a 10K
ohm, 1/4 watt EOL resistor in parallel across the last
switch. An EOL resistor must be installed on both
IDCSC inputs (including unused inputs). Wiring
impedance must not exceed 500 ohms. A 3.3K
ohm resistor must be installed in series with each
switch.
3. Check the wiring to ensure proper connections.

WIRING REQUIREMENTS
Wiring to the UV detector must be between 12 and 18
AWG with a minimum voltage rating of 600 volts rms
and a minimum temperature rating of 125°C. The use of
shielded cable is highly recommended to provide
maximum protection from RFI/EMI interference.
1. Mount the Swivel Mounting Bracket using 1/4 inch
(M6) screws with a length of at least 1 inch (25 mm).
The mounting surface should be free of vibration.
Allow adequate space around the swivel to facilitate
on the detector terminal block. See Figure VII-27 for
terminal identification. Do not ground the shield to
the detector housing. (Tape off the shield and leave
it disconnected.)
5. Remove the UV sensor tube module from its
shipping package. When handling the sensor tube
module, be careful not to touch the sensor tube,
since oil from the skin can attenuate UV radiation,
reducing the sensitivity of the tube.
6. Using the index pin as a guide, install the sensor
module on the detector terminal block.

VII-18
7. Re-assemble the detector housing. If the detectors
are equipped with cover locking devices, loosen the
clamp sufficiently so that the “catch” can be seated
in the blind hole provided on the terminal cap. The
clamp must then be fastened securely around the

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Figure VII-45 shows a power supply monitor wired on a
LON between a UV detector and a DCU.
Figure VII-46 illustrates the power and communication
wiring for a UV detector, an IDC and a DCU, connected
to a standard LCU (EQ2100LCU) and an LIOU.

24 VDC - Connect the "+" terminal to the positive Figure VII-47 illustrates the power and communication
side of the 24 vdc power source. (Both "+" wiring for a UV detector, an IDC and a DCU, connected
terminals are connected internally.) to the optional LCU (EQ2101LCU) and an LIOU.

Connect the "-" terminal to the negative
side of the 24 vdc power source. (Both "-"
terminals are connected internally.)
4. Connect the shields to the two designated "shield"
terminals. The two shield terminals are connected
internally to ensure shield continuity. Do not ground
either shield at the network extender enclosure.
Insulate the shields to prevent shorting to the
device housing or any other conductor.
Figure VII-48 shows the power and communication
wiring for a UV/IR detector, an EQ2500SAM and an
EQ2500ARM, connected to a standard LCU
(EQ2100LCU) and an LIOU.
Figure VII-49 shows a network extender wired between
a UV detector and a DCU.
Figure VII-50 shows a high temperature UV detector
wired between a standard UV detector and a DCU.

5. Check all field wiring to ensure that the proper

connections have been made.

6. Inspect the enclosure O-ring to be sure that it is in

good condition and properly installed. Lubricate the
O-ring and the threads of the enclosure cover to
ease both installation and future removal of the
cover. The recommended lubricant is a silicone free
grease available from Detector Electronics. If the
installation uses catalytic type combustible gas
sensors, it is imperative that lubricants containing
silicone not be used, since they will cause
irreversible damage to the sensor. Place the cover
on the enclosure. Tighten only until snug. Do not
over tighten.

LOGIC CONTROLLER
The logic controller contains three 8-position DIP switch
assemblies that are used for:
— Serial port configuration
— Communication parameters
— Setting the LON/SLC address.
S5 — Hardware Serial Port Configuration
Verify that S5 switches are set as follows:
1 — Closed
2 — Open
3 — Open
4 — Closed
5 — Open
6 — Open
7 — Closed
8 — Open.
S6 — Diagnostic Serial Port Configuration
Diagnostic serial port is
intended for factory use only.
Switch settings will not affect
normal operation.
S7 — LON/SLC Address
Set switches for the LON/SLC
address. Valid addresses are
from 5 to 247, and must be an
odd number. If an address
outside this range is selected,
the address will default to 5.
S7-1 = LSB, S7-8 = MSB.
LON/SLC DEVICE ADDRESS SWITCH
SETTING
Each individual device on the LON/SLC must be
assigned a unique address. Addresses 1 to 4 are
reserved for gateway use. Address 1 is for the main
gateway. Valid addresses for field devices are from 5 to
250. If the address is set to zero or an address above
250, the communication module will ignore the switch
setting. Duplicated addresses are not automatically
detected. All modules with the same address will report
on that address. The status word will show the latest
update, which could be from any of the reporting
modules at that address.
NOTE
Logic controllers utilize two consecutive LON/SLC
addresses, the first of which must be an odd
number, i. e. a Logic Controller with an address of
7 will occupy both 7 and 8 on the LON/SLC.
Selection of the node address for field devices is
accomplished by setting rocker switches on a DIP
switch assembly. (Note that only the first eight of the 12
switches are used for selecting the address.) The
address number is binary encoded with rocker switch
No. 1 on the 8 position switch assembly being the LSB
(least significant bit). Each rocker switch has a specific
binary value, as shown in Figure VIII-3. The node
address is equal to the added value of all closed rocker
switches. All open switches are ignored. For example:
for node No. 5, close rocker switches 1 and 3 (binary
values 1 + 4); for node No. 25, close rocker switches 1,
4 and 5 (binary values 1 + 8 + 16).
Power must be cycled before the new address will take
effect.
For your convenience in setting the address switches,
refer to the table “Address Switch Settings” at the back
of this manual.

After setting the address switches, record the address

1. Remove power from the DCU and the PointWatch
unit. Replace the PointWatch. Apply power, then
press the sensor replacement switch on the
communication module for about 1 second. Allow
at least 10 minutes for the sensor to warm up.
 NOTE
Pressing the sensor replacement switch prevents
the communication module from generating a fault

UV DETECTOR TEST
CAUTION
To prevent unwanted actuation, alarm and
extinguishing devices must be disconnected prior
to performing detection system tests.
FIRE ALARM TEST
1. Disable any extinguishing equipment that is
connected to the system.
2. Apply input power to the system. Allow a one
second power-up delay.
3. Hold a UV source (W8066) within the cone of vision
of the detector at a distance relative to the selected
detection range. Verify that an alarm condition is
indicated at the LCU. Reset the alarm indication
using the key switch on the LCU.
Lack of response may indicate reduced sensitivity
due to contamination on the viewing window, a
damaged sensor, or electronic circuitry or wiring
problems. Refer to “Troubleshooting” for additional
information.
4. Repeat this test for each fire detector in the system.
5. Verify that all detectors are properly aimed at the
area to be protected.
6. Enable extinguishing equipment when the test is
complete.
IX-7
FALSE ALARM TEST
1. Disable all alarm response equipment.
2. Allow the system to monitor the protected area for a
period of time with all the normal operations in the
area taking place. If the detector responds
(indicating a fire when no fire has occurred), check
the area to see if UV sources are present. If
possible, remove the sources, or reposition the
detectors so that the sources fall outside of the
detector’s cone of vision. If problems still occur,
adjust the time delay, sensitivity or arc rejection
settings.
The model U7656 Hand-Held UV Monitor is
available from Detector Electronics for conveniently
scanning the protected area and pin-pointing the
exact source of UV radiation.
3. Recycle power and test again as described above.
4. Once the correct settings are obtained, turn on all
alarm and extinguishing equipment that is
connected to the system. Record all switch settings
for future reference.
UV/IR DETECTOR TEST
IMPORTANT
Disable any extinguishing equipment that is
connected to the system to prevent unwanted
actuation.
The detector can be tested by shining a UV/IR test lamp
(W867 or W8067) into the detector viewing windows or
by a live fire. (Refer to the test lamp manual for specific
instructions regarding proper use of the device.) This
will cause the detector to go into an alarm condition —
the LEDs on the UV sensor will be on steady and the
LCU will indicate an alarm condition. If latching
operation is selected, the detector will remain in this
condition until it is reset at the OIS. If non-latching
operation is selected, the detector will return to normal
operation as soon as the test is terminated (the test
lamp or fire source is removed).
If a fire signal was not generated and the LEDs indicate
response by only one sensor, the other sensor has
failed to respond.
— Check the cleanliness of the viewing window and
repeat the test.
— If the sensor fails to respond again, replace the
sensor module.
— If the sensor still does not respond, replace the
detector.
95-8470
If a fire signal was not generated and the LEDs indicate
response by neither sensor, both sensors have failed to
respond.
— Check input power and external wiring.
— Check the cleanliness of both viewing windows.
— If the detector still does not respond:
— If using a test lamp, check the battery, window, etc.
to be sure that the test lamp is working properly.
— If the detector still does not respond, replace the
detector.
MANUAL oi
When manual oi is selected, the automatically initiated
oi test is disabled.
Regardless of the o i selection, internal diagnostic
circuitry will respond to failures such as a loss of input
power or to certain electronic failures. These failures
will be indicated at the LCU and also by the detector’s
LEDs. If such a failure occurs, check the operation of
the power source and the continuity of the detector
wiring. If the detector appears to be “dead” with power
applied, it must be returned to the factory for repair.
AUTOMATIC oi
The Automatic oi feature (if selected) tests the detector
at the selected interval (once per minute for UV and
from once a minute to once every four hours for IR),
checking the cleanliness of the optical surfaces, sensor
sensitivity, and proper functioning of the electronic
circuitry. If a problem is detected for three consecutive
automatic oi tests, a fault signal is generated at the
LCU (also indicated by the UV sensor LEDs). If the
detector passes three subsequent automatic oi tests,
the fault signal will be cleared
UV Fault
To correct a UV oi fault, clean the viewing window and
oi ring of the UV sensor, and also check the oi ring
opening for proper orientation. If the fault does not
clear (or fault reoccurs), a faulty sensor or electrical
problem is indicated. First replace the UV sensor
module. If the problem persists, replace the detector.
IX-8
IR Fault
To correct an IR oi fault, clean the viewing window and
oi ring of the IR sensor, and also check the module and
oi ring opening for proper orientation. If the fault does
not clear (fault reoccurs), a faulty sensor or electrical
problem is indicated. Check the connection of the
connector plug on the IR module. Also check the
condition of the wires. Repair or replace if needed. If
the problem persists, replace the IR sensor module. If
the problem still persists, replace the detector.
General Fault
If a general fault is indicated, check input power to the
detector as well as continuity of system wiring. Also
check the detector viewing windows for contamination
such as paint overspray, snow, etc. that could
simultaneously affect both sensors. Since simultaneous
failure of both sensor modules is unlikely, the problem is
most likely caused by loss of input power or failure of
the detector’s electronic circuitry.
Background Radiation
Background radiation as such does not cause a
problem with the detector in most applications, unless
both UV and flickering IR non-fire radiation sources
occur simultaneously. If a UV or IR background
radiation indication occurs:
— Determine its cause. The presence of background
radiation could indicate a problem in the protected
area. For example, background IR could be
caused by overheating equipment.
— Determine whether or not repositioning the detector
could eliminate response to the background
radiation without reducing coverage of the
hazardous area.
 Section X I/O PORTS—
