The X3301 is a multispectrum infrared (MIR) flame
detector. It provides unsurpassed detection of fires
from light to heavy hydrocarbon fuels combined
with the highest degree of false alarm rejection.
The detector has Division and Zone explosion proof ratings and is suitable for use in indoor and
outdoor applications.
The X3301 contains three IR sensors with their associated signal
processing circuitry. The standard output configuration includes
fire alarm, fault and auxiliary relays, with an isolated 0–20 mA output
model with optional HART communication.
The detector provides superior performance in applications that
are at the extremes, and where background infrared radiation is a
normal condition:
- Hangars
- Offshore production platforms
- Offshore production ships
- Refineries
- Production facilities
- Loading racks
- Compressor stations
- Turbine enclosures
- Airport water curtains
- Automotive Painting
- LNG/LPG
- Gas Separation Plants
- Warehousing
- Marine
