UV/IRS Flame Detector

Ultraviolet and Infrared Optical Sensors
The UV/IRS (Ultraviolet/Infrared) flame detector
delivers exceptional performance with many
distinct functions and features. Two precise
spectrums of radiation must be recognized and
confirmed by highly tuned sensors for the UV/
IRS to initiate a fire condition. This accurate and
reliable flame monitoring technology combined
with immunity to arc welding, hot body
radiation, lightning, and sunlight greatly reduces
costly false alarms while providing critical safety
performance to your site and personnel.
Two radiation wavelengths necessary for alarm t
– minimizing false alarm events
Low power consumption increases uptime and
lowers overall costs
Manual and automatic testing of optical surfaces
Designed for extreme conditions, operational
from -50 °C to +75 °C
Global certifications and approvals
Wide voltage range allows for greater stability
and system compatibility

Enclosed in a rugged, explosion-proof housing, the UV/IRS
flame detector uses the latest in modular microprocessor and
Ultraviolet/Infrared sensor technology — delivering accurate
and reliable monitoring for hydrocarbon based fires. It is
capable of standalone operation or can be connected to a
variety of networked safety systems to create a dependable fire
monitoring system.
The UV/IRS flame detector has many unique features which
make it one of the industries best: an extra wide field of view
— up to 120°; user defined sensitivity and time delay settings
can be completed in the field with no special tools required;
one of the lowest power consumption levels and widest voltage
range available on the market.

Field-selectable sensitivity and delay settings
allows operators to fine tune at installation site
Wide area coverage, extended range with fast
response times
Analog, relay, RS 485 digital Modbus, and HART®
outputs available
Three year warranty electronics/two years on
sensors

The UV/IRS flame detector is simple to operate and maintain
while delivering all the security and performance required
for high-risk, industrial installations!
