FGD FlameSpec-UV-IR

FGD FlameSpec-UV-IR

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. 

Key Benefits

Key benefits include:
