--- title: FS301 Flame Simulator description: The FS301 Flame Simulator produces a unique flame pattern recognised by the FDS30x product line. The detectors in turn initiate a full alarm function. image: https://www.micropacksafety.com/hubfs/Media/Products/fds301%20Flame%20Simulator/FS301-min-1.png --- ## About the product The FS301 is used to test the complete range of FDS flame detectors; intelligent visual flame detectors and multi spectrum flame detectors; without the need for scaffolding. ![FS301-min-1](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/fds301%20Flame%20Simulator/FS301-min-1.png?width=400&height=300&name=FS301-min-1.png) ### Rugged Design The FS301 is ATEX certified for operation in Zones 1 and 2 hazardous areas.. The simulator is supplied with a rugged transit case for safe transportation to locations worldwide. ### Ease of Maintenance The simulator is a completely self-contained unit designed for hand held use by a single operator. A single charge of the batteries is sufficient to test in excess of one hundred detectors. ### Flame Detection and Live Video The FDS301 outputs a live video signal over standard twisted pair cable.  The live video provides instant visual verification of fire eliminating the need to send personnel into potentially hazardous situations and reducing the risk of injury. Although the FDS301 transmits live video images, it is not necessary to utilize them as the unit will still be a fully functioning flame detector. ### On-board Flame Video Recording Each FDS301 incorporates an on-board Micro-SD card capable of recording 17 seconds of the alarm video – 8.5 seconds pre-alarm and 8.5 seconds' post-alarm. This feature proves invaluable during incident analysis. It means you will never have an unknown alarm. Operators who have experienced fires have used the recording to put preventative measures in place to ensure the same incident does not occur again. ### Single Sensitivity Unlike any other flame detector on the market, the sensitivity of the detector is pre-set, and no configuration is required. The detector is sensitive to fires of n-heptane 0.1m2 at up to 44m within a 90° Horizontal field of view. The sensitivity of the detector is pre-set and no changes in sensitivity are required.  ### Worldwide Approvals With FM, FMC, IECEx, ATEX, CE, and SIL2 approval, the FDS301 is accepted worldwide. This acceptance is enhanced with a range of metric and imperial threads, and both PAL and NTSC video modes. - ![FS301-min-1](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/fds301%20Flame%20Simulator/FS301-min-1.png?width=500&height=375&name=FS301-min-1.png) - ![FS301 and case-min](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/fds301%20Flame%20Simulator/FS301%20and%20case-min.png?width=500&height=375&name=FS301%20and%20case-min.png) - ![FS301 side-min](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/fds301%20Flame%20Simulator/FS301%20side-min.png?width=500&height=375&name=FS301%20side-min.png) ## Markets Each flame detector application presents its own set of unique challenges.
