WBIR – Wide Band Infrared(0.7 to 3.5 micrometers)
NIR – Near Band Infrared(0.7 to 1.1 micrometers)
IR – Narrow Band Infrared(Typically 4.3 micrometers)
UV – Ultraviolet(Typically 185 to 260 nanometers)
VIS – Visible Light(400 to 700 nanometers)

Glossary of Terms
6 HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL 6
Theory of Operation
Electro-Optical Fire Detectors sense the radiated
Electromagnetic Fire energy in the Ultraviolet and Infrared
wavelengths.
7 HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL 7
Advantages of Electro-Optical Fire Detectors: Fast - detects Electromagnetic Radiant Energy
from the fire(Moves at the Speed of Light 300,000 km/sec)
Fast - detects fire in the early stages
Area Coverage, not a point detector. Does not have to be located directly at the fire event
Electro-Optical Fire Detectors
8 HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL 8
Developed from Military Missile Warning Systems
Multi-Sensor array using UV / WBIR / VIS (UV/IR) or NBIR / WBIR / VIS (IR/IR)
Solid State, Digital Electronics Real-Time, Digital Signal Processing FirePic™ Pre-Alarm data storage for
postulating the cause of a fire Responds to all types of fires including Silane,
Hydrogen and sodium Azide, (not just hydrocarbon fires)

Solid State Digital Design Digital signal processing of Real Time data by
sophisticated software algorithms FirePic™ Fire Event spectral data stored in non-
volatile memory Real Time data available through PC software Digital communications allows for addressable,
smart devices Fire Detector Open Protocol (FDOP) provides
addressable access through universal protocols

Additional Features:Visible, (VIS), Sensors, (Blue & Yellow), reject non-fire radiant energy events such as lightning, quartz halogen lights and arc-weldingTemperature Transducer and programmable software provide stable WideBand IR sensor sensitivity baseline
Fire Sentry Digital Fire Detectors
12 HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL 12
Conventional IR3 Detectors
Competitions: Narrow Band 4.3 micron Pyroelectric IR sensors, combined with 2 guard
bands (3.8 & 5.1)
Disadvantages:• Respond to clean-burning hydrocarbon fires only
• Totally blinded by water on the lens, fog, rain, smoke
• Max. operating temperatures: 75ºC
• Respond only to hot, carbon-based fires
• Respond best to change in incident radiant energy
• Respond best to mechanically shuttered fires
• Do not respond to slow growing fires
Advantage:• Easy to design and manufacture
13 HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL 13
FS24X WideBand IR3 Detector
FSX Technology: WideBand IR, WideBand 4.3 micron & Quantum sensors
Advantages:• Respond to hydrocarbon & non-hydrocarbon fires
• Not blinded by water on the lens, fog, rain, smoke
• Higher operating temperatures: 85ºC (standard) & 110ºC (extended)
• Quantum sensors respond to black body radiation and growing fires
• Can detect pure and hot flames’ sooty and dirty fires as well as cooler carbon dioxide fires (Isopropyl alcohol)
Disadvantage:• Extremely difficult to design
