2.4.2 Continuous
Optical
Path
Monitoring - COPM Circuitry
A self-testing feature called Continuous Optical Path Monitoring (COPM) checks the optical path,
the detector(s), and the related electronic circuitry once every 2 minutes. If foreign material on the
front surface of the FL4000 blocks the COPM light from reaching the detector(s) for four minutes,
the unit will indicate FAULT. The optical FAULT outputs are a 2.0 mA (3.5 mA with HART) signal,
de-energizing of the FAULT relay, and MODBUS (RS-485) output signal. After a COPM FAULT, a
COPM check is performed every twenty seconds. The COPM will resume a once per 2-minute
check only after the obstruction is removed.
CAUTION:
Dirty or partially blocked windows can significantly reduce the detector’s field of view
and detection distance.
NOTE:
Because the optical path is checked once every 2 minutes and requires two check failures
to produce a FAULT, it may take up to 4 minutes for the unit to detect an obstruction.
2.4.3 Test Mode Initiation
NOTE:
The FL4000 will not detect a flame while in Test Mode.
The FL4000 has the ability to initiate a special Test Mode, which enables the user to test the
response of the unit without the use of a flame source. Once the Test Mode has been activated,
the unit will not detect a flame, but rather, responds to GM’s Test Lamp as a simulated flame
source.
There are three options for enabling Test Mode on the FL4000:
1. Flashing of the Test Lamp
2. Momentary grounding of test wire
3
3. MODBUS
command
4. HART command (available in HART configuration only)
3
Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada (ULC) does not sanction the grounding of test wire as an approach for enabling Test Mode. For ULC-
approved systems, only Test Lamp and HART and MODBUS commands may be used.
