DESCRIPTION
Det-Tronics X-Series Flame Detectors record pertinent
configuration and event information in the device’s non-
volatile memory. Important detector status data such
as power-up/down, faults and alarms are date and time
stamped as they occur and stored in the electronic
module located inside the detector enclosure. The
Inspector Monitor software allows the user to later upload
this data to a personal computer (PC) where it can be
displayed, saved and/or printed.
Enhanced Flame Inspector Software is compatible with
all versions of X3301, X3302, X9800, X5200 and X2200
flame detectors.
FEATURES
•
Data logging capability for Det-Tronics flame
detectors.
•
Data stored in non-volatile memory.
•
Data can be uploaded to a PC.
•
Data can be viewed, stored to a file, or printed.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
Enhanced Flame Inspector software is designed for
PCs using the Windows operating system.
A minimum of 16 megabytes of RAM are required;
however, 32 or more megabytes are recommended for
optimum performance. The software requires a color
monitor with a minimum resolution of 640 by 480.
A hard drive with at least 10 megabytes of free space
is also required. The system can utilize any properly
installed printer.
INSTALLATION
WIRING
Hardwired Method
It is recommended to connect the detector’s RS-485
terminals (terminals 23 and 24) to the PC at the time of
installation. This will allow Inspector Monitor to function
at any time, without the need to open the detector
housing and remove the sensor module (“front” half of
the detector) prior to test. A RS-485 to USB converter
(p/n 103881-001) is required for proper communication.

NOTE
Changing the detectors settings could result
in a configuration that has not been 3rd party
performance approved.
IMPORTANT!
For flame detectors with LON output, the EQP
controller will override any settings made with
the Enhanced Flame Inspector software, with the
exception of the Hangar Mode on the X3301.

NOTE
The PC must always be located in a non-
hazardous controlled location.
Modbus communications are only available on X-series
detectors that have Relay, Relay/4-20mA, and Pulse
outputs. Modbus communications are not available on
X-series detectors that have HART or EQP outputs.
NOTE
Communication between the sensor module and
the PC uses the Modbus RTU protocol, with the
sensor module configured as a Modbus slave.
Alternate Method
NOTE
The alternate method must be used with EQP
and HART models since these detectors are not
furnished with RS-485 output terminals.
This method requires removal of the sensor module from
the detector housing for testing in a control room. A 5/64
inch Allen wrench is needed to loosen the lock screw
when removing the module.
To remove the sensor module follow these steps:
1. Remove power from the detector.
2. Using the allen wrench supplied with the detector,
loosen the locking screw on the side of the housing.
3. Unscrew the sensor module and remove it from the
front of the detector housing.
WARNING
Do not open the detector assembly in a hazardous
area when power is applied.
Connector includes a power supply that can plug into
any standard 120/240 vac outlet.
The Inspector Connector utilizes an integral RS-485
to USB converter (see Figure 2) to ensure proper
communication.
Connect the converter end of the Inspector Connector to
the USB port of the PC. Connect the end with the power
supply connection to the sensor module (see Figure 3).
