There are four factory configured sensitivity levels available for the X3301 Flame Detector:
Very High, Medium, Low, and T-Low.
The following criteria should be considered when choosing a sensitivity level for the intended application:
• Detector placement
• Speed of response based on fuel type and fire size (see Appendix A for response times)
• Distance between the hazard and the flame detector
Recommended sensitivity guidelines are as follows:
Very High: Medium: Low:
T-Low:
Offshore, Warehousing General Duty, Compressors
Offshore, close proximity/high IR backgrounds
Turbine Enclosures
Additional information on X3301 Flame Detector performance results and sensitivities can be found in Appendix A, the FM Approval and Performance Report.
Consult the factory with any questions on how to choose the optimum sensitivity level for the intended application.
