Apollo Marine Intelligent Base Mounted IR3 Flame Detector 55000-029MAR
Apollo Marine Intelligent Base Mounted IR3 Flame Detector 55000-029MARThe Intelligent Base Mounted IR3 Flame Detector is designed to protect all indoor areas even in dirty or smoky conditions where open flaming fires may be expected. The detector has three IR sensors that respond to different IR wavelengths in order to discriminate between flames and spurious sources of radiation.ApplicationThe triple IR flame detector is also fast reacting but is also tolerant of fumes vapours steam dust and mist while being unaffected by the phenomena listed above. It may however be affected by modulated IR radiation. Triple IR flame detectors are used in waste handling colour printing and paper manufacturing.OperationThe detector is sensitive to low-frequency flickering infra-red radiation emitted by flames during combustion. Since it responds to flickering radiation the detector can operate even if the lens is contaminated by a layer of oil dust water-vapour or ice. The detector is set to respond to low-frequency radiation at 1-15Hz 0.75-2.7ym in order to detect all flickering flames including those invisible to the naked eye e.g. those emitted by hydrogen fires.The detector has three IR sensors that respond to different IR wavelengths in order to discriminate between flames and spurious sources of radiation. False alarms due to factors such as flickering sunlight are avoided by a combination of filters and signal processing techniques.Key FeaturesResponds to stationary flames with no flickerSensitive to low-frequency flickering IR radiation emitted by flames during combustionCompact flame detector which fits into Discovery Marine mounting basesLoop-poweredFalse alarms due to factors such as flickering sunlight are avoided by a combination of filters and signal processing techniques
