1.3  Features and Benefits 
  Selectable Sensitivity (four settings) 
User can set an FSX Detector to four (4) different Detector sensitivity levels (see Section 3.2). 
  Selectable Relay Options 
User configurable for a variety of dry contact relay interface options (see Section 3.2). 
  Selectable 4 – 20 mA Output 
User can set for Source or Sink non-isolated output (see Section 3.2). 
  Selectable Communications 
User can configure for analog or digital communication outputs such as Modbus (see Section 3.2). 
  Selectable Digital Communication Address 
Users can select unique 7-bit code (128 addresses) (see Section 3.2). 
  Lower Power Consumption 
Requires smaller external power supplies and fewer system backup batteries. 
  Dual Microprocessors 
Reduces the number of discrete Detector components, provides larger programming and memory 
capacity, and provides redundant self-checking. 
  100% Solid-State Quantum IR Sensors 
Superior performance, stability, reliability, durability, and ruggedness. Provides higher MTBF and much 
wider operating temperature range. 
  Higher Operating Temperature 
185°F (85°C) for more applications and 230°F (110°C) available for higher temperature applications. 
  Lower Operating Temperature 
-40°F (-40°C) for more applications and -76°F (-60°C) available for lower temperature applications. 
  Built-In Automatic “Through-the-Lens” Self-Test 
Monitors window lens obscuration and checks the operation of the Detector’s Sensor Array and Electro-
Optical Electronics Module. 
  Anodized Field Removable Detector Aluminum Module (Puck) 
Rugged, superior protection against EMI/RFI and handling plus easier field installation and replacement. 
  Three Separate Bright LED’s (Red, Yellow, Green) 
Field status indicators with individual LED’s for Alarm, Fault and Normal conditions.  Provides superior 
Detector status viewing in bright outdoor environments (see Section 3.6). 
  FSC Windows® based PC Interface 
User can perform remote FSX Detector diagnostics, real-time status, Real-Time Graphing (RTG), 
SnapShot data recording, and downloading FirePic’s with Honeywell Analytics’ exclusive FSIM-2 
USB Interface Unit and easy to use Windows
®
 based PC Software. 
  Designed to Detect both Hydrocarbon and Non-Hydrocarbon Fires with one FSX Detector 
All fire and flame threats are sensed, not just hydrocarbon fires as with other Triple IR Flame Detectors. 
  Designed, Manufactured, Tested, and Patented by Honeywell Analytics 
Over 30 years of proven fire / flame detection product excellence worldwide. 
  EN54-10 certified
