 1. Introduction

This Operating Manual specifies performance characteristics of the flame detector

(hereinafter IPES-IR3), which are guaranteed by the Manufacturer (JSC “Electronstandart-
pribor”). The Operating Manual is designed to familiarize the users with the IPES design and
performance as well as its operation rules.
Prior to beginning working with IPES-IR3, read attentively this Operating Manual.
2. Purpose
IPES-IR3 is intended to transfer alarm signals to control and indicating fire-fighting and
guard fire-fighting equipment under fire initiation in the detector's field of view.
IPES -IR3 are to be used in the zones where process facilities of pump stations of oil-
trunk pipelines, tank farms, loading racks, and the like are installed (subgroup indices of the
electric equipment are IIA, IIB, IIC, temperature classes are T1 – T4 according to IEC 60079-
14).
IPES field of application is dangerously explosive areas of indoor and outdoor facilities
complying with IEC 60079-10 and other normative documents regulating operation of electric
equipment in dangerously explosive zones.
IPES –IR3 is classified as:
a) optical – by the principle of operation;
b) infrared range – by the spectral range of electromagnetic radiation;
c) supplied via an individual wire – by the method of power supply;
d) addressed – by the addressability.

IPES-IR3 is supplied with power 24 V DC source (from 18 to 32 V); ripple amplitude is

no more than 1,0 V.
IPES-IR3 is designed to work in non-heated rooms or under sheds at temperatures from
minus 40 to +85°C and relative humidity of up to 93% at 40 oC.
IPES-IR3 is a multirange detector reacting to IR radiation in three spectral regions.
IPES-IR3 feature is presence of the inner test radiation source. This source is powered
with impulse voltage once for 30 minutes and its radiation is detected by sensors. This design
allows to perform end-to-end functional tests of IPES-IR3 automatically and thus there is no
necessary to use outer radiation test sources or open flame for functional tests.

“Explosion-proof casing” according to FM 3615, its class of implosion protection is
“explosion-proof” with explosion-protection marking Class I, Division 1 & 2, Group C & D, T4
according to FM 3600.
Explosion protection of IPES is ensured by:
1. Enclosing of the IPES current-carrying parts into an explosion-proof casing with slit
implosion protection at the points where parts and units of the explosion-proof casing join
each other; the casing should be able to withstand the explosion pressure and prevent
propagation of explosion into the explosive environment. The points of parts mating are
marked in the drawings with word “Explosion” and permissible values of the explosion-
protection parameters:
maximum width and minimum length of the slits,
roughness of the surfaces forming the explosion-proof joints,
number of complete intact threads,
and axial length and pitch of thread of the threaded explosion-proof joints according to
FM 3615;
2. Limiting the heating temperature of the detector’s outer parts (not higher than 135°С);
3. Sealing of cables in the cable entry with a special rubber ring according to FM 3615;
4. Preventing all the bolts securing the parts and providing the IPES explosion
protection, as well as the current-carrying and earthing clamps, against spontaneous
unscrewing by using spring washers or lock-nuts;
5. Ensuring high mechanical strength of the IPES according to FM 3600;
5
 6. Providing the IPES casing cover with warning

“D0 NOT SEPARATE WHEN ENERGIZED”;

7. Protecting all the surfaces marked with word “Explosion” with consistent grease.
8. IPES-IR3 casing protection class is not lower than IP66 according to IEC 529-89.

a) IPES-IR3 with a mounting bracket;

b) Operating Manual GSKF.425248.002 OM– 1 copy;
c) Kit of fasteners;
d) Magnetic bangle is optional. It will be delivered only by a special request.

5. IPES design and performance

IPES-IR3 consists of an explosion-proof casing containing sensors converting

electromagnetic radiation of flame into electric signal, electronic amplifiers and filters, digital-
analog converters, microprocessor, indicators, and optical isolators used to test the channels for
serviceability (see Appendix A).
Embedded optical filters of receivers determine the range of maximum spectral
sensitivity of the detectors: in three ranges of IR radiation – from 4,0 to 5,0 um. The sensors
and optical filters are chosen so that IPES-IR3 is maximally sensitive to the radiation produced
by fire provided flare light from incandescent lamps, sunlight and hot objects is maximally
suppressed.
Amplifiers and electric filters provide necessary values of electric signals at the ADC
input and noise suppression. Digital signals are processed in a microcontroller via a special
algorithm in order to make the alarm signals more reliable. Parameters taken into consideration
in generating the alarm signal are:
- magnitudes of signals from different optical channels,
- ratios between the signal amplitudes of different channels,
- signal modulation frequency,
- phase relationships among the channels.
After processing the signals a decision is made to form output signals at the analog
current output (4…20 mA), digital output RS-485 with interface Modbus RTU, relay contacts
“FIRE”, relay contacts “FAULT”.
In order to improve the IPES-IR3 reliability the amount of dust on the optical devices is
tested by measuring the variation in the intensity of radiation in a special optical isolator
(radiation passes through the detecting windows). To test the detectors’ serviceability, integral
test radiation sources sending radiation directly to the detectors are used. If the signal values
produced under tests is more than the target threshold value the device is serviceable. Under
performance check of optical channels the signal “FIRE” is not generated. If there is fault in the
channel (optical signals are low) the signal “FAULT” is generated in indicating LEDs, relay
6
 contacts, output analog and digital signals. The IPES-IR3 status is indicated
by red light of LEDs mounted on the IPES front panel. In the same time IPES-IR3 continues to
analyze incoming optical signals.
Principle of operation of protective glass dusting control is based on ability of the
subjects situated in immediate proximity to them, as well as accumulation dust on the glass
surfaces, to scatter the infrared radiation.
The dust control canal has been calibrated at the manufacturing plant thus that during
incidence of glass transmission more then 50% the device signal “accuracy” is removed.

6.2 Digital signal RS-485 – protocol Modbus RTU, Hart, Ethernet.

The digital channel protocol Modbus RTU is described in Appendix B.

6.3 Relay signal.

Signals from dry contacts of two relays: “FIRE” and “FAULT”.
The “FIRE” relay has a two-directional single-pole contacts; this allows one to make the
contacts at the output normally closed or normally open by changing the position of jumper Х1.
The “FAULT” relay has one-directional single-pole contacts (normally open). The relays
are designed for commutation of currents of 10 mA to 5 A at DC voltage of 30 V.
The output signals and states of relay contacts and indicating LEDs for different
modes of IPES-IR3 are presented in Table 2.
The functions and location of switches, jumpers, and leads used to connect IPES to
RCD of fire-alarm and burglar-fire alarm systems are given in appendix C1 and C2.
The arrangement of sensitivity and operation speed switches as well as jumpers
used to set the state of contacts of relay “Fire” on the IPES-IR3 back plane (viewed from
the side where the elements are mounted) are given in Appendix C1.

7
 Switcher S1 fixes the “fast/slow” mode and determines the time of
signal accumulation. Position ON corresponds to the 4-sec accumulation period; position OFF
corresponds to the 2-s accumulation period.

Switcher S2 fixes the “remote/close” mode. Position OFF corresponds to the maximum
sensitivity – the “remote” mode.

Switcher S3 being in position ON does not fix the alarm state, i.e., the “alarm” state is
cancelled after the signal causing the IPES operation is eliminated. If the switcher is OFF, the
“alarm” can be reset only by switching on/off the power supply or by resetting by using the
magnetic bangle or digital channel.

Switchers S4 and S5 are used for activation/deactivation of relays

7. Industrial safety precautions.

7.1 Only persons familiarized with the present Operating Manual, trained in safety
techniques, and having electric-safety certificates are permitted to work with IPES-IR3.
7.2 Never operate IPES-IR3 if its casing is mechanically damaged.
7.3 Do not separate when energized.
8. Pre-starting procedure

8.1 Prior to mounting IPES-IR3 examine it by sight. Pay special attention to:
-IPES-IR3 explosion-protection marking and warning inscriptions;
-intactness of the casing;

9
 -availability of all the fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers) according to the scheme
of IPES-IR3 arrangement at the plant;
-presence and intactness of the seal at the IPES-IR3 casing (Appendix A2).

8.2 How to ensure explosion protection under assembly.

Install IPES-IR3 at the facilities under control according to the scheme of the system that
comprises IPES-IR3; the scheme should be approved in accordance with established procedure:
Make electric connections as described in Appendices С1, С2,C3.
8.2.1 Connecting of IPES-IR3 installed in dangerous explosive zones to external devices
installed in explosion-proof zones by using armored control cables 4 х 1,5.
Cable can be used in dangerously explosive zones of all classes including premises, outdoor
sites, channels, tunnels, ground (trenches) with corrosive medium, and in zones containing
roaming currents.
8.2.2 While assembling IPES-IR3 check the condition of external surfaces of the
explosion-protection elements: the presence/absence of dents or damages on the casing-base
mating surfaces (Appendix A).
8.2.3 Removable parts should adjoin the casing as tightly as the design allows.
8.2.4 Seal the cable in the cable entry maximally thoroughly, since just this determines
the explosion proofness of the IPES-IR3 entry device.
8.2.5 Install IPES on the mounting fittings by using rubber shock-absorption bushings
and bolts taken from the accessory kit.
8.2.6 Earth the IPES casing by using an external earthing clamp in accordance with
Appendix A.
Thoroughly clean the external earthing wire; prevent the point where it is connected to
the external earthing clamp against corrosion by applying of consistent grease.

8.2.7 The procedure of installing IPES-IR3 and connecting it to RCD of fire-alarm

and burglar-fire alarm systems is as follows (Appendices A1 and A2):

- unscrew 3 screws (pos.4) and detach a base (pos.2) with cable entry from the IPES-
IR3 casing (pos.1);
- unscrew the screw with nut lock (pos.6), which connects a bracket (pos.5) and the
base to the cable entry; detach the bracket;
- mount the connecting cable in a cable entry (pos.3) and connect the conductors to the
respective clamps on the interconnecting board;
- set the bracket on the IPES-IR3 workstation and install the base on it; fix the base
with a screw and a nut lock;
- set the switches and a jumper of the “Fire” contact relay status mounted on the
IPES-IR3 switching board to the necessary position (see Appendix С.1);

10
 - install the IPES-IR3 casing on the base and screw up the 3 screws;
- while installing IPES-IR3 on its workplace, take into account that its view angle
equals 90 degrees. Keep in your mind that IPES-IR3 is mostly sensitive along the central
axis, therefore, should be directed towards the place of probable fire;
- while installing IPES-IR3 orient it so as to prevent direct illumination from
powerful radiation sources (sun, headlight, etc.)

The Manufacturer presets the following operating modes of the detectors:

- “remote/close” and “slow/fast” modes providing the maximum sensitivity;
- IPES-IR3 mode with fixing the state of generating alarm signals.
Appendix C1 presents the arrangement of switches in the entry chamber, which are used
to change the above-mentioned presetting.
Upon the completion of installation, check the resistance of the earthing device; it should
not exceed 4 Ohm.

9. Operating procedure.

9.1 Only persons familiarized with the IPES-IR3 design and its Operating Manual and
trained in safety precautions in working with electric equipment including that installed in
dangerous explosive zones are permitted to operate IPES-IR3.
9.2 While working with IPES-IR3, undertake all the safety measures.
9.3 IPES-IR3 should be equipped with internal and external earthing devices and earthing
marking.
9.4 The recommended circuits of connecting IPES-IR3 to RCD of fire-alarm and burglar-
fire alarm systems and digital outputs of IPES-IR3 are given in Appendices С.1,C2 and С.3.
9.5 After switching on IPES-IR3 electric current of 4 mA will arise at its output, and the
indicating LEDs will start continuous green lighting during 10s and then green flashing till 35 s,
then after initial test finish continuous green lighting again.

10. Maintenance.

IPES-IR3 maintenance consists of:

- visual examination;
- cleaning;
- checking the earthing and explosion-protection systems;
- performance test.

Visual examination of IPES-IR3 should be performed daily; in the process, IPES should
be checked for the absence of visible damages.

11
 Self-testing of IPES-IR3 is performed one time for 20-30 min. It provides regular end-to-
end self-checking of IPES-IR3 serviceability. Therefore it is no necessary to use external test
radiation sources or open flame for serviceability inspection.
IPES-IR3 should be cleaned either every six months (if there is no severe visible
contamination) or as required, in case signal “Fault” arises or the IPES-IR3 surface is covered
with dust. To clean IPES, remove dust from the casing with a brush or coarse calico slightly
wetted with water and clean the IPES windows with coarse calico wetted with rectified alcohol.
After wiping the surface with alcohol, wipe it again with a dry cloth in order to remove residual
dirt. Alcohol consumption for one cleaning is 3 g.
To check the earthing system, make sure that the joints are sufficiently tight and the
contacts are covered with consistent grease.

11. Performance test.

The test consists of checking the IPES-IR3 functional characteristics. It should be

performed regularly, every 6 months, using open flame (a lighter, a candle, spirit lamp) or the
test flashlight ITES. In testing RCD of fire-alarm and burglar-fire alarm systems should be
switched off in order to avoid operation of fire-fighting equipment.
Open flame is placed in front of IPES-IR3 that must be actuated for 5…10 s, i.e.
indicating LEDs must light, output signal show corresponding values.
In case the special test radiation source ITES is used in the performance test, observe its
Operating [Link] it is necessary to make the output signal free of the alarm signal, put on the
IPES-IR3 a magnet bangle taken from SPTA. In this case, the IPES-IR3 operation is controlled
only by sight with observing the indicating LEDs, which should glow continuously in the
presence of the “Fire” signal.
If IPES does not detect the flame, proceed as described in section
“Troubleshooting”.

13. Transportation and storage.

13.1 IPES-IR3 packed at the Manufacturer’s site can be transported at any distance by
any transport type. During the transportation shipping containers should be protected against
atmospheric precipitations. The freight should be arranged and secured in the vehicles so as to
ensure its stable position during the transportation. Freight displacement during the
transportation is impermissible.
13.2 Railway carriages, containers, and truck bodies used to transport IPES-IR3 should
be free of traces of cement, coal, chemicals, etc.
13.3 Store IPE-IR3S packed in Manufacturer’s containers during the warranty period.
IPES-IR3 in storage facilities should be free of dust, acid and alkali vapors, corrosive gases and
other harmful substances.

 Appendix B. Protocol of the IPES digital output

IPES-IR3 are designed to transfer alarm signals to RCD of fire-alarm and

burglar-fire alarm systems in case fire occurs in the detector’s field of vision.
Communication with fire alarm systems is performed via analog channels for
4..20 mA, dry relay contacts “Fire” and “Fault”, and digital channel containing
information on the above-mentioned outputs.
Signals on the absence or presence of fire, as well as operating characteristics,
are transmitted to the high-level controller via interface RS-485 under protocol
MODBUS. IPES-IR3 can fulfill commands of the following types:
- reading from the device. Instruction code 04;
- recording the word in the device. Instruction code 06.
Address card indicating the device status.
Address 0×01 – the high byte contains the device number (address) (unsigned
number).
The low byte defines the rate of exchange via the RS-485 channel:
0×01 - 1200 baud;
0×02 - 2400 baud;
0×04 - 4800 baud;
0×08 - 9600 baud;
0×10 - 19200 baud.
Address 0x02 – a 16-byte register of the detector’s status comprising the
following data bytes:
The high byte – the preset operating mode of the device in the form of
ХХХХХD2 D1 D0;
where
D2: 1 – fixation ON, 0 – fixation OFF;
D1: 1 - remote, 0 – close;
D0: 1 - fast, 0 - slow.
The low byte presents the current state of the detector in the form of
ХХХХХD2 D1 D0;
where
D2 1 – the glass is dirty; 0 – normal;
D1 1 - fault, 0 - normal ;
D0 1 - fire, 0 - normal.

17
 The register addressed as 0×02 is available only for reading. The detector’s
parameters (fixation, remote/close, and fast/slow) can be changed by means of
hardware (switches in the entry chamber).

In order to change the device address, record the device number ranging
from 0×01 to 0×F7 into the register with address 0×01; set the number into the
register high byte.
In order to change the device exchange rate via RS-485, record the code
adequate to the necessary exchange rate into the 0×01 register; set the code into the
register low byte (the device high byte).
0×NN01 - 1200
0×NN02 - 2400
0×NN04 - 4800
0×NN08 - 9600
0×NN10 - 19200

Take into account that when you are trying to change the device number, the
exchange rate changes automatically (and vice versa); therefore, while changing the
device number, control the content of byte in charge of the exchange rate (and vice
versa).
When changing the rate and/or device number, the high-level controller
receives the response to the command with the same rate; only after that IPES
changes the device exchange rate and number.
While debugging the software, never use command with code 06 cyclically,
since the registers intended for recording have a limited number of recording cycles
(10000).
While recording data into registers with other addresses, address error signal
will be generated.
