FGD FlameSpec IR3-HD flame detector
FlameSpec-IR3-HD flame detector providing ultra-fast response, high performance and reliable detection of a large variety of fires including hydrocarbon fires (visible and nonvisible), as well as Hydrogen fires. The detector addresses slow growing fires as well as fast eruptions of fires using improved IR3 technology. The detector operates in all weather and light conditions.
In addition, the detector provides high-definition (HD) video output of the monitored area with clear imaging of a fire event and of personnel at distances up to 100 ft (30m). This allows the rescue team to be aware of the exact situation before entering the hazardous area. The detector automatically records video of any fire event (1 minute pre- and up to 3 minutes post alarm initiation). These features, along with the built-in event logger, provide additional means to study the cause and development of fire events for "lessons learned" reviews.
Features and Benefits
- Extreme sensitivity mode – From up to 260 ft.(80m) to 1 ft2(0.1m2) n-heptane pan fire
- Ultra-fast detection mode – detection within 40 milliseconds for fireballs or explosions
- 1.3sec detection – From up to 50 ft.(15m) to 1ft2(0.1m2) n-heptane pan fire
- HD video output with automatic recording of fire events
- Data/Event logger – alarm error, other relevant events are logged to non-volatile memory
- Ethernet communication – Standard configuration
- Built-in-Test(BIT) – Automatic and manual internal self-test of window cleanliness and the overall operation of the detector
- HART 7 model available – Provides easier detector configuration and diagnostics
- Window heater to avoid condensing and icing
- Stainless Steel Tilt mounting bracket can be connected to either above or below the detector
- Individual warning levels for UV and IR
- KCs/ATEX/IECEx/FM/EAC CU TR certifications
- SIL2 certification
