Designed for hazardous industries where fast fire detection is critical and nuisance alarms are not an option.
The PFDS303 is an explosion proof Multi Spectrum IR flame detector. The device delivers superior performance, responding to hydrocarbon liquid fuel and gas fires at long distances.
The PFDS303 compliments the PFDS301 and PFDS300 Visual Flame Detectors by delivering superior performance in the detection of hydrocarbon fires which are not detectable in the visible spectrum. The PFDS303 utilises the latest IR flame detection algorithms to ensure maximum false alarm immunity.
