X3301 multi spectrum infrared flame detector.
The standard output configuration includes fire, fault and auxiliary relays. The Eagle Quantum Premier compatible model, does not use analog or relay outputs, as all information is transmitted via data transfer to the EQP Controller.
The X3301 includes the OI (Optical Integrity) calibrated performance test, that is automatically performed once per minute, to verify complete detector operation capabilities. Testing with an external test lamp is not approved or required.
A tri-color L E D on the detector faceplate indicates the current status by means of LED color.
Green indicates normal operation without any faults or fire.
Yellow indicates a fault with the X3301.
Red is fire detected.
Inside the X3301 are a set of 8 dip switches mounted together. These switches are used to set the network address. The switches are numbered from 1 to 8.
The detector also incorporates a Magnetic OI feature, that provide the same calibrated test as the Automatic OI, and in addition actuates the Alarm output to the EQP Controller and Solar display.
This test can only be performed when the unit is shut down and all CO2 bottles isolated. This test will activate the CO2 if you don’t remove the control heads from the bottles. Remove magnet to allow the alarm to be reset at the controller.
The photo shows the Magnetic switch being activated with an enclosure door position switch magnet. It needs to be a strong magnet as the switch is inside the casing, under the mounting clamp. To activate the calibration you need to keep the magnet in position for at least 6 seconds. Don’t forget to remove the fire cylinder heads before test or the CO2 will discharge!!!!!!!!!!
