Flame Detector False Alarms

Nov 4, 2024

Hi all,
Has anyone experienced issues with false alarms during sunrise, sunset, and flare reflection in installing the Honeywell FS24X flame detector? If so, how did you solve this problem to eliminate the false alarms?

Glancing through the product brief on this IR detector, it says there are 4 settings for sensitivity : very high, high, medium or low - have you tried switching this setting to see if this helps ?

thanks for your help, i already change the sensitivity on the lowest one, but it still read the false alarm.
 
Can you describe what is the service description for this flame sensor - is this on a flare tip assembly ?
 
Greetings,

IR flame detectors are not sensitives to the sunlight or the sun reflection, while could be activated by the flare reflection, your fire detectors orientation shall be adjusted according to the fire and gas mapping study conducted before the plant F&G implementation or upgrade.
