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 the fire alarm panel is accomplished using the detector's ALARM, ALERT and FAULT relays. It features RS-485 communications, FirePic for retrieval of recorded pre-fire data, and SnapShot for dynamic graphical display. The detector can see through paint, powder or oil residue on the lens and is immune to false alarms from arcs or corona discharges .

Applications include liquid paint spray lines, aerosol filling, powder coating booths, and curing ovens. The system helps you comply with NFPA fire detection standards for industrial, storage, manufacturing, processing and other sensitive locations .
