1. Scope

1.1 Product Overview

The Spectrex Model 20/20U, 20/20UB is a UV Flame Detector. It is designed to

sense the occurrence of fire and flames and subsequently activate an alarm or

an extinguishing system directly or through a control circuit for maximum fire

protection. It uses innovative technology of advanced digital signal processing to

analyze the dynamic characteristics of fire.

The Difference between models is that Model 20/20UB includes a Built-In-Test

(BIT) function while the 20/20U does not include the BIT.

Detection performance is controlled by a microprocessor and easily adapted to

all environments, applications and requirements. The result is a unique and

superior flame detector that provides excellent detection sensitivity with extreme

immunity to false alarm.

1.2 Document Overview

This manual describes the detector and its features. It describes instructions on

the installation, operation and maintenance.

This manual is divided into several parts. Each part is contained in a separate

chapter as follows:

2.1 Principles Of Operation

The Model 20/20U, 20/20UB Radiation Flame Detector is an electronic device

designed to sense the occurrence of fire and flames and subsequently activate

an alarm or an extinguishing system directly or through a control circuit.

The UV Flame Detector is a single spectrum optical detector sensitive to the UV

radiation spectrum, which present in fires. The detector monitors the protected

volume, by measuring the radiation intensity in it, the frequency range of the

electromagnetic spectrum, namely the UV.

The detector senses one channel in which appropriate detection pulses are

registered and further analyzed for frequency, intensity and duration.

2.2 The Sensing Element

The UV sensor is sensitive to radiationover the range of 0.185-0.260 micron.

The UV channel incorporates a special logic circuit that eliminates false alarms

caused by solar radiation and other non-fire UV sources. Further more; the UV

channel sensitivity is stabilized over the working temperature range.

2.3 Detection Levels

Detection of radiation in the UV channel having an intensity which exceeds

detector’ preset Warning level will result in a Warning signal.

Detection of radiation in the UV channel having an intensity, which exceeds

detector’s preset Alarm level will result in an Alarm signal.
