FGD FlameSpec-IR3-CO2L
Triple IR (IR3) Flame Detector optimised for combustion exhaust gases.
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, Hospitals)
- Areas with high vehicle activity:
- Waste recycling facilities
- Road / Rail tanker loading racks
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Highest levels of false alarm immunity.
- Detects up to 262 ft. (80m) for a 1 ft2 (0.1m2) 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 30 m. Option for <0.5s, in compliance with NFPA 33, available.
- 5 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 & maintenance.
- Window heater to avoid condensation and icing.
- Stainless steel tilt mount provides horizontal and vertical adjustment.
- SIL 2 compliant - suitable for use as part of a SIL 2 compliant safety system.
