FS20X Optical flame detector - UV/IR fire detection

UV / IR detector: combination of 2 different sensors

To trigger a fire alarm, the UV / IR detector must simultaneously receive information from the UV and IR sensors. In case of arc welding, the UV sensor will be energized but the IR sensor will not detect heat, there will be no fire alarm. Similarly, facing an object emitting a large heat source, the IR sensor will react but the UV sensor will not be triggered.

Two high performance microprocessors

Two microprocessors guarantee measurements performance and reliability with a very short response time. The master microprocessor performs high-speed digital sampling and signal processing calculations, while the slave microprocessor processes various sensor data such as self-diagnosis, interface communication, event and data storage.

Up to 60 meters range

The FS20X UV / IR detector has an over 60 meters detection range (with very high sensitivity setting) able to detect a heptane reference fire of 0.1 m2. Its vision cone is, in terms of volumetric coverage, significantly higher than that of most UV / IR detectors on the market.

UV / IR detector main assets

• Technology suitable for hydrogen, hydrocarbons (petrol, ethanol, methane), paper, wood fires and more.
• Two high performance microprocessors for better measurement integrity, very short response time
• Immunity to arc welding and rejection of false alarms in all ambient conditions.
• 4 sensitivity levels, selectable by switch for adapted use to each particular case
• PC software and interface module for diagnosis and data and event log downloading.
• Display and correct operation indicator: Green (energized), red (alarm), yellow (error).
• Minimal maintenance for error-free operation.
