FGD FlameSpec-IR3-HD

Triple IR (IR3) Flame Detector with Video

The FlameSpec-IR3-HD flame detector provides exceptional detection performance of all types of hydrocarbon fires (visible and non-visible). The detector responds to slow growing fires as well as fast fire eruptions using improved triple IR (IR3) technology operating in all weather and light conditions with highest immunity to false alarms. The detector also provides a high-definition (HD) color video output of the monitored area with clear imaging of fire events and personnel at distances up to 100 ft. (30m) allowing responders to know the exact situation before entering the hazardous area. Video and data of events are stored saved quickly to non-volatile memory for post incident investigation. The recordings start one minute before detection and continue for up to four minutes.

Key Benefits

Key benefits include:

  • Highest immunity to false alarms
  • 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.
  • HD, or composite, video output with automatic HD video recording of events.
  • Ultra-fast 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.
  • Optimized option for aircraft hangars, helipads & truck loading racks available, see FLS-IR3-HD CO2L data sheet.
  • Detects up to 262 ft. (80m) for a 1 ft2 (0.1m2) n-heptane fire.
