1.1 Correct Use
WARNING!
Do NOT install or operate the device until you read and understand the instructions in this manual.
Only qualified personnel are approved to operate and do maintenance on the device.
NE PAS INSTALLER NI UTILISER CET ÉQUIPEMENT SANS AVOIR D'AVOIR LU ET COMPRIS
TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES, TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES MISES EN
GARDE DANS LE MANUEL D’INSTRUCTIONS.
Do NOT remove the cover from the device when the device is in operation or in an explosive atmo-
sphere.
NE PAS OUVRIR LORSQUE SOUS TENSION OU EN PRÉSENCE D’UNE ATMOSPHÈRE
EXPLOSIVE.
Install a conduit seal within 18 in. (46 cm) of the device enclosure.
INSTALLER LE JOINT DU CONDUIT DANS UN INTERVALLE DE 18 PO DU BOÎTIER.
Repair or alteration of the device beyond the scope of the maintenance instructions in this manual
or by anyone other than General Monitors or General Monitors-approved service personnel can
cause incorrect operation of the device and put persons who use this device for their safety at risk
of serious injury or death.
An approved electrician must do electrical wiring.
All wiring must satisfy the requirements of the applicable National Electrical Code (NEC), Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC), and local electrical safety codes.
Make sure that field connections to the FL500 are applicable for the location and obey the wiring
requirements of the NEC, CEC, and local electrical safety codes.
Do not install or operate a device that is damaged.
Install the device in a location away from conditions (such as high-pressure steam) where electro-
static charge can collect on nonconducting surfaces. This equipment uses an external nonmetallic
coating. If extreme levels of electrostatic charge collect, ignition can occur.
Make sure that there is no physical blockage from permanent objects such as structures and
equipment or temporary objects such as personnel and vehicles in the sensor's field of view. If
there is physical blockage in the sensor's field of view, the device cannot accurately monitor the
area for flame.
Make sure that there is no ice, dirt, or debris on the optical window. Blockage of the optical window
can result in a Fault condition.
During a Fault condition, the device does not monitor the area for flame.
Keep the device safe from vibration and mechanical shock, which can cause damage.
Do NOT connect or disconnect equipment when power is supplied to the device. Doing so can
result in serious damage to the equipment. The warranty does not apply to equipment that is
damaged in this way.
The device has components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). When you do
work with the device wiring, be careful to touch only the connection points. The warranty does not
supply coverage for components that are damaged by ESD.
Use ONLY a damp cloth to clean the device. Otherwise, electrical shock or ignition from ESD can
occur.
Failure to obey these warnings can result in serious injury or death.
