FLAME SENSOR

FS-2000E
Instruction Manual
We appreciate your purchase of a TAKEX flame sensor.
Please read this instruction manual carefully for correct and effective use.
This sensor is designed to detect flames and to initiate an alarm, it is not a fire-preventing device.
TAKEX is not responsible for damage, injury or losses caused by accident, theft, Acts of God (including inductive surge by lightning), abuse,
misuse, abnormal usage, faulty installation or improper maintenance.
This sensor detects Ultraviolet rays in the flames and initiates an alarm.
It does not detect smoke, heat.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Flame sensor FS-2000E is designed to detect ultraviolet rays contained in flames, and to initiate an alarm.
In addition to alarm sound, FS-2000E is equipped with form C (N/C, N/O.) output, to meet professional application.
Also, memory LED enables you to find out the initiated sensor out of a series of sensors.
Area adjustment mechanism brings wide selection of protection angle.
Quick separation of sensor and base eases installation and maintenance.

Product classification

Others

This sensor is designed to detect ultraviolet rays contained in

flames, and to issue a signal.
This unit is neither fire detector nor heat detector nor smoke
detector.
TAKEX is not responsible for damage, injury or losses by fire,
accident, calamity, Acts of God (including inductive surge by
lightning), abuse, misuse, abnormal usage, faulty installation or
improper maintenance.

Objects to be detected

When

an strong impact is given to the sensor, it may cause

damage, malfunction or less performance.
Do not handle in a rough manner.

Intense

flames such like gas explosion's may damage the

sensor, instead of the detection.

This sensor detects ultraviolet rays contained in flames.

Therefore, this sensor may detect something including ultraviolet rays but not in flame.
Besides, this sensor does not detect the burning object which is not flaming.

Possible cause of false alarm

Do not install the sensor nearby the followings.

Flames which can not be detected.

lamp
discharging lamp such like mercury lamp
Electric sterilizer lamp
Spark of welding
Electric spark (caused by motor, pantograph)
Sunlight
Electric discharge of thunderbolt
High electric field
All the objects which emanates ultraviolet rays

Halogen

Flames

Electric

Lighting

through the glass or transparent resin

portion of cigarette
Burning charcoal or briquet
Electric stove
Burnig object without flames

DO'S AND DON'T'S

According to the detection area chart and operation check, decide installtion place not to form the death angle.
Do not install in the following places.

Do not install in a site

which is subject to direct or
reflecting sunlight and rain.
(This sensor is for indoor
use only)

Do not install in high

humid place such like
bathroom.

Do

not install in a site where the temperature falls less than

+14
F (-10
C) or rises more than +140
F (+60
C).

Do

not give an impact to sensor. it may cause damage,

malfunction and less performance to the sensor.

Do

not put water to the sensor, or leave the sensor in humid

place. It may cause malfunction.

Do not install in a site

where fire (flame) is usually
used such like kitchen.

Do not install in front of the

object to intercept light.
(including glass and transparent resin etc.)

This

sensor's alarm output is 2 sec. offdelay, and alarm sound

/ LED is 10 sec. offdelay action.
By detecting a flame, the alarm will be initiated after the set
time of timer passed.
The alarm action continues during the fire, and stops 2 sec.
and 10 sec. later each after the extinction.
(Alarm sound : intermittently LED : continous)

when

alarm sound is "OFF", it does not sound.

6 OPERATION AND FUNCTION

(1) Operation

(2) Mode setting

Alarm (Basic action)

This product alarms only by detecting the flame continuing
for the set time of detection timer.
(0.2sec., 1sec., 6sec., 30sec.)

FS-2000E is equipped with 4 functions which can be used

according to the application or environment.
Mode setting will be done by mode selector (dip switch) in
accordance with mode setting chart on the back side of
sensor unit.

Buzzer
: Sounds intermittently every 0.2sec.
LED
: Lights on
Alarm output : Continuous
When the flame continues further, the above alarm actions
are also continued for the meantime. 2sec. after the flame
goes out, alarm output stops, and 10sec. after, alarm sound
and LED stop (off delay).
Then sensor goes back to armed mode.

will be off automatically after 3 min. of blinking and 47
min. of lighting on.
In case that the sensor initiates alarm again while its
memory LED is lighting, LED continues to light on for
further 47 min. after that. (re-trigger action)

The following setting is about detection performance.

This unit detects ultraviolet rays in a flame and issues a
signal.
In the semi-outdoors, there are many objects which
generate ultraviolet rays and because there are no walls
or windows in open area, there is a much higher possibility for the unit to detect those objects, in comparison with
indoor installations.
The detection performance should be set using the dip
switches according to the circumstances of the installation site.
When the performance of the installed sensor is unstable
and the cause cannotbe indentified, select Sensitivity "L"
and detection time one step longer than current setting.

STD (100%)

Detection distance on "L" setting is 50% shorter than that on

"STD" setting.
If the operation is unstable on "STD", switch to "L".
When installed semi-outdoor, "L" setting is recommended.

SET

flame of lighter / match at no
smoking zone.

When

above setting is not stable.

For

the detection of the fire at

smoking zone

At

the window etc. which is

subject to reflection of sunlights.

When the ultraviolet rays of a flame is weak (it is related to

size of flame and distance to sensor), alarm initiation may be
delayed beyond the set time.
The ultraviolet rays are not visible, and may be detected from
unexpected object.
When the sensor's operation is not stable (it detects something
but not a flame) and its cause can not be identified, set
detection time longer by one step and see the course.

The

size of detection area is in

proportion to the size of flame
and the time of flaming.
The bigger flame becomes or
the longer flame continues, the bigger detection area becomes.
When small flame such like lighter's is the object to be detected,
confirm detection area.

OPERATION CHECK

1. Turn power on.

Do not use a lighter in no fire

zone because it is dangerous.
In such case, operation test
have to be done in other place
with sensor only.

2. Ignite a lighter etc. within detection area for more than the set time.
3. After the set time, an alarm output is issued, buzzer sounds intermittently and
LED blinks. (Alarm action)
4. 2 sec. after the flame goes off, alarm output ends. 10sec. after the flame
goes off, other alarm actions ends. (Check the alarm output by connecting
a device such like bell / siren.)
