Honeywell FS10-R Fire Sentry System

The Honeywell FS10-R Fire Sentry System is a high-speed microprocessor based fire detection and process control system specially designed for liquid and powder coating applications. It quickly detects the presence of a flame, reacts by initiating a shutdown of the electrostatic finishing process in a matter of milliseconds, and effectively interrupts the fire before residues and wet paint films can ignite.

The RS10-R provides a two-stage response:

• An ALERT for spray gun "fireball" type fires
• If the fire continues, a FIRE ALARM is declared in 4 to 5 seconds

This system is superior to conventional detectors due to the use of an electro-optical quantum infrared sensor array and the ability to accurately detect fires without false alarms. The Fire Sentry FS10-R "Unitized" detector is designed to operate with any approved fire alarm panel. Interface with fire alarm panel is accomplished using the detector's ALARM, ALERT and FAULT relays.

Applications for the FS10-R include:

• Liquid Paint Spray Lines
• Aerosol Filling
• Powder Coating Booths
• Curing Ovens
