The Talentum ® Ultra-Violet, dual Infra-Red (UV/IR2) Flame Detector
is designed to protect areas where open fires may be expected and
detects most flames from hydrocarbon fires with 4.3μm emissions
through to invisible fires such as hydrogen.
The UV/IR2 Flame Detector is sensitive to flickering, low frequency (1-
15Hz) infra-red radiation along with ultra-violet emitted by flames during
combustion.
This detector has a UV sensor and two IR sensors which respond to
different wavelengths of both the ultra-violet and the infra-red spectrum.
The signals from these sensors are processed by the detector and
checked for characteristics of a flame. The simultaneous detection of
both the UV and the IR light by the sensors will signal an alarm. False
alarms from flickering sunlight, arc welding and lightning are eliminated
by a combination of UV and dual IR signal processing techniques.
The Talentum ® UV/IR2 detector has selectable output options of relay
contacts or 4 to 20mA signal as standard.
