IR3-CO2L

Triple IR Flame Detector

The FlameSpec™ IR3-CO2L flame detector has been optimized to provide a fast, robust detection of a wide range of heavy hydrocarbon fires, where combustion exhaust gases may be present, and standard IR3 detectors might false alarm.

Typical applications include: Aircraft hangars, hardened aircraft shelters, helipads (onshore, offshore, and hospitals).

Areas with high vehicle activity: Waste recycling facilities - Road / Rail tanker loading racks.

Key Benefits

Highest levels of false alarm immunity.
Detects up to 262 ft (80 m) for a 1 ft² (0.1 m²) n-heptane pan fire.
Hydrocarbon flame detection: Three wavelengths in the infrared spectral range of 4.0 to 5.0 μm with clear separation.
Each sensor has the same field of view to further improve false alarm immunity.
Ultra-fast detection mode – detection within 40 milliseconds for fireballs or explosions.
Fast flame detection, <1.5 s for standard fire up to 100 ft (30 m).
Five selectable sensitivity levels.
Universal outputs, 3- and 4- wire, 4—20 mA sink / source, Fire, Auxiliary, and Fault relays. RS485 port using Modbus RTU.
Event logger – alarms & faults are logged to non-volatile memory.
Built-In-Test (BIT) – Automatic and manual self-test of window cleanliness and overall detector operation.
Dirty optics warning for preventive maintenance needs.
HART® 7 as standard. Enhanced configuration and maintenance.
Window heater to avoid condensation and icing.
Stainless steel tilt mount provides horizontal and vertical adjustment.
Functional safety - SIL 2 capable.
