Triple IR Flame Detector
The FlameSpec™ IR3-CO2L flame detector has been optimized to provide a fast, robust detection of a wide range of heavy hydrocarbon fires, where combustion exhaust gases may be present, and standard IR3 detectors might false alarm.
Typical applications include: Aircraft hangars, hardened aircraft shelters, helipads (onshore, offshore, and hospitals).
Areas with high vehicle activity: Waste recycling facilities – Road / Rail tanker loading racks.
Description
Key Benefits
- Highest levels of false alarm immunity.
- Detects up to 262 ft (80 m) for a 1 ft2 (0.1 m2) n-heptane pan fire.
- Hydrocarbon flame detection: Three wavelengths in the infrared spectral range of 4.0 to 5.0 μm with clear separation.
- Each sensor has the same field of view to further improve false alarm immunity.
- Ultra-fast detection mode – detection within 40 milliseconds for fireballs or explosions.
- Fast flame detection, <1.5 s for standard fire up to 100 ft (30 m).
- Five selectable sensitivity levels.
- Universal outputs, 3- and 4- wire, 4—20 mA sink / source, Fire, Auxiliary, and Fault relays. RS485 port using Modbus RTU.
- Event logger – alarms & faults are logged to non-volatile memory.
- Built-In-Test (BIT) – Automatic and manual self-test of window cleanliness and overall detector operation.
- Dirty optics warning for preventive maintenance needs.
- HART® 7 as standard. Enhanced configuration and maintenance.
- Window heater to avoid condensation and icing.
- Stainless steel tilt mount provides horizontal and vertical adjustment.
- Functional safety – SIL 2 capable
