UV-IR Flame Detector
The FlameSpec™ UV-IR flame detector provides ultra-fast response, high performance, and reliable detection of a large variety of fires including hydrocarbon fires (visible and non-visible), as well as hydrogen and methane / hydrogen mixed fires.
The detector addresses slow-growing fires as well as fast eruptions of fire using improved UV-IR technology.
The detector operates in all weather and light conditions.
