Introduction
This Safety and Technical Manual applies to FDS303 Hardware Version 1.0 and above.
The MICROPACK FDS303 is a flame detector that has unsurpassed false alarm
immunity for a Multi Spectrum IR flame detector.
The Micropack flame detection range are the safest and most advanced flame
detectors on the market today. Our worldwide installed base has proven that the
Micropack technology is robust, even in the harshest of environments.
FDS303 flame detectors identify flame using certified flame recognition software.
FM Approvals ensures that our flame recognition software is fit for purpose through
