The Next Generation in Reliable Flame Detection

Providing fast and reliable protection against a wide range of fires, Honeywell’s FS24X Plus flame detector responds to hydrocarbon and hydrogen fires in a solid field of view. Improve your overall fire and gas safety with reliable flame detection that can see through rain, fog and smoke significantly better than other options on the market. Uniquely built for demanding industrial applications, the FS24X Plus helps businesses protect people, plants, and processes should a detectable fire occur.
  • Reliable flame detection: Rapid detection of a wide range of hydrocarbon and hydrogen fires with advanced diagnostics including window clarity and performance.
  • Maintains coverage while operating in challenging environments: The use of solid state, wide band sensors means that operation can continue in poor visibility.
  • At-a-glance instrument status: FSX24 Plus has a high visibility LED Halo ring that can be seen from a distance to show instrument status.
  • Simplified installation using lightweight graduated mount: FS24X Plus includes the SM4 mount as standard, which enables easy mechanical installation. A marine version mount (SM4-M) is also available.
  • Simplified Maintenance: FS24X Plus is supported by a PC App (Flame Manager) and HART® for set-up. Flame Manager includes post event analysis with Honeywell’s powerful FirePic™ tool. The internal opto-electronics module can be quickly swapped in the field if needed.
  • Global hazardous area and performance approvals: ATEX, IECEx; cFMus; INMETRO, CCC*, SIL2, FM3260, EN54-10
  • Marine Certification*: ABS, Lloyds, BV, DNV

Reliable Detection

Fast response to a wide range of hydrocarbon and hydrogen fires even in low visibility conditions. Advanced diagnostics, including window clarity, maintain site protection.

Easy to Use

Low maintenance and calibration-free. Lightweight, compact, graduated mount enables simple mechanical installation. Two cable inlets and plug-in connections facilitate electrical installation.

Multiple Outputs

Multiple outputs include 4-20mA, Relays, HART®, and Modbus. Easily integrate FS24X Plus into your systems.

Robust

Operates in challenging environments to maintain safety coverage. Advanced solid-state, wide-band sensors enable detection through conditions like rain, fog, and smoke.

At a Glance Instrument Status

High visibility LED HALO ring provides a clear indication of device status. LED HALO: Green (Normal), Yellow (Fault/Warning), Red (Alarm).

Simple Maintenance

Internal diagnostics and warnings drive maintenance. A simple test lamp allows quick and easy testing at a distance, eliminating the need to climb to the instrument. Replaceable electro-optics modules enable convenient field replacement.

 

Since it can readily detect both hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon flames — even in challenging conditions — Honeywell FS24X Plus is an ideal flame detector for numerous applications, including:

  • Refineries and oil production plants
  • Offshore platforms
  • Turbine/compressor enclosures
  • Oil and gas pipelines and pumping stations
  • Loading and unloading facilities for liquefied petroleum and natural gas
  • Natural gas/compressed natural gas plants
  • Production and storage facilities for ethanol, methanol and isopropanol
  • Tank farms and storage facilities for crude oil and gasoline
  • Aircraft hangars
  • Paint and solvent storage
  • Chemical production, storage and loading facilities
  • Power plants
  • Wastewater plants
