Conventional and older technology UV/IR detectors, using

narrow band 4.3 micron IR sensors, will not respond to smoky

fires or if the detector lens is contaminated with oil and

other substances since both UV and 4.3 micron signals are

attenuated, obscured or absorbed by thick smoke or detector

lens contaminations. All UV sensors will be attenuated to some

degree. Also, these old technology UV/IR detectors will not alarm

to any fire if they are installed behind ordinary window glass.

Dual microprocessors provide a high level of fail-safe operation combined with fast and reliable

performance.The master microprocessor performs high-speed digital sampling and signal

processing calculations whilst the slave microprocessor handles various sensor data, performs

communications, self-diagnostics and provides interface versatility and additional memory for

storing event log and FirePic™ data. The FS20X detector has a detection range in excess of 60 m

(200 feet) (very high sensitivity setting) for the detection of a 0.1m2 (one square-foot) Heptane

reference fire and has a cone of vision greater in volumetric coverage than most UV/IR detectors.

flash memory for post fire analysis and determination of the fire cause. Additionally, unique Real

Time Graphing (RTG™) allows viewing of the data which the detector senses in each waveband. A

combination of outputs makes the FSX detectors useful beyond the immediate alarm and help

in both protection and investigation of fire events in today’s demanding industrial requirements.

The FS20X detector is a Multi-Spectrum and UV/Dual IR/VIS and flame detector

with a proven UV solar-blind sensor. FS20X delivers a faster response and

fewer false alarms, performs in a wider ambient temperature range,

with a much longer detection range compared to conventional UV/IR detectors.

Conventional and older technology UV/IR detectors, using narrow band

4.3 micron IR sensors, will not always respond to smoky fires or if the

detector lens is contaminated with oil and other substances since both

UV and 4.3 micron signals are attenuated, obscured or absorbed by thick

smoke or detector lens contaminations. All UV sensors will be attenuated to some degree.

Superior Technology Dual microprocessors enable fast and reliable performance.

The master microprocessor performs high-speed digital sampling

and signal processing calculations while the slave microprocessor handles sensor data,

performs communications, self-diagnostics and manages interfaces and memory

for storing event log and FirePic™ data. The FS20X detector has a detection range

in excess of 60 m (200 feet) (very high sensitivity setting) for the detection of a

0.1m2 (one square-foot) Heptane reference fire and has a field of view with a greater volumetric

coverage than most UV/IR detectors.

This means fewer detectors can be used to cover an area as compared to other manufacturers’ detectors.

The FS20X detector using advanced algorithms for signal processing and fire and flame analysis to

alarm to most  fires in all industrial environmental conditions. If the detector’s UV signal is degraded

due to heavy smoke or a contaminated lens, FS20X’s patented WideBand IR™, Near Band IR and

Visible sensors will still alarm to fire, albeit at a reduced sensitivity and slower response time.

Benefits to Industrial Sites

Industrial operations concerned with transforming their legacy control system can realize numerous 

operational and business benefits from TPS modernization.

This transformation can improve business results, enable expansions, and improve sustainability,

while protecting existing infrastructure, production and intellectual property in terms of both applications and graphics.

Honeywell’s secure path to current technology offers seamless integration with architecture,

with standards-based functionality, regulatory support capabilities, and integrated operation from the field, through the plant, to the business level.

Honeywell’s TPS modernization solution minimizes operating disruptions and maintains overall consistency,

as well as delivering optional lifecycle advantages with virtualization.

Honeywell is committed to helping you sustain your automation platform, and at the same time,

take advantage of the most up-to-date technologies.

After modernization, the control system can have a common Human Machine Interface (HMI) and unified physical control network,

allowing control devices to integrate/expand easily with the latest generation of Experion PKS controllers and safety systems.

The advanced control solutions and the new functions within Experion PKS controllers can additionally improve the effectiveness of plant operations.

Modernization also opens the door to Honeywell’s IIoT, an approach that connects people to assets,

automates predictive analytics, and enables increased collaboration.

Main Functions:

Input Functions: The FC-SCNT01 module is capable of receiving input signals from field devices, 

such as fire alarm signals from smoke detectors, door and window opening and closing status, etc. 

The input signals are processed and then processed by the FC-SCNT01 module.

These input signals are processed and sent to the main controller of the security system.

Output Function: The module is able to receive output commands from

the main controller and convert these commands into appropriate control signals to control the field devices.

For example, when the controller receives a fire alarm signal, it can send commands through

the FC-SCNT01 module to cause door locks to open automatically or to activate an evacuation alarm.

Communication Interface: FC-SCNT01 modules usually use standard communication protocols 

to communicate with the host controller to ensure reliable data transmission in the system.

Power supply and power isolation: Modules are usually equipped with power isolation to

ensure that no damage is caused to the system in case of power failure or abnormal conditions.

Status Indicators: Modules may be equipped with status indicators to indicate the status 

of input/output signals, power supply status, and possible fault status.

Overall, the Honeywell FC-SCNT01 51454926-176 is a powerful input/output module that is

capable of receiving and processing input signals from field devices and controlling

field devices according to the commands of the main controller, and is an integral part of the safety system.
