Mechanical Installation
This chapter describes the mechanical requirements for installing FSL100 Series Flame Detectors. Electrical
installation is discussed in the next chapter.
4.1 Siting
The number, type and placement of fire detectors and alarm control systems should be determined in consultation with
Honeywell Analytics specialist technical advisors and Site specialists.
Remember that the FSL100 series are flame detectors only; they cannot detect flammable gas or dust atmospheres. Please
contact Honeywell Analytics if you need a flammable atmosphere detection system.
Generally speaking, one or more FSL100 flame detectors should be positioned on walls or posts above the monitored object or
area, and they should overlap so that shadow areas cannot occur (see diagrams that follow).
4.2 Mounting and Orientation
In this chapter a number of general guidelines are given for the flame detector system design. Several of these guidelines are
discussed in more detail in the following chapters.
4.3 Installing the FSL100 Flame Detectors
There are 2 options for installing the FSL100 series of Flame Detectors:
1. You can use the optional Swivel Mount to mount them on walls, ceilings or posts (see Ch.10 FSL100-SM21 Swivel Mount).
2. You can mount them directly to a ceiling (i.e. in a fume chamber or in an engine room) or inside ducting.
Use the measurements below for mounting, remembering to allow clearance for the cables.
