The Talentum ® triple Infra-Red (IR3) Flame Detector is designed to protect
areas where open fires may be expected and detects almost all flames,
including hydrocarbon fires with 4.3 μm emissions through to invisible fires
such as hydrogen.
The IR3 Flame Detector is sensitive to flickering, low frequency (1- 15Hz)
infra-red radiation emitted by flames during combustion even if the lens is
contaminated by a layer of oil, dust, water, vapour or ice.
This detector has three IR sensors which respond to different IR
wavelengths in order to discriminate between flames and spurious
sources of radiation. False alarms from flickering sunlight are avoided by a
combination of filters and signal processing techniques.
The Talentum ® IR 3 detector has selectable output options of relay contacts
or 4-20mA signal, as standard.
