Description
SafeFlame's triple IR (IR3) flame detector compares
three specific wavelength bands within the IR spectral
range of a fire and their ratio to each other. This offers
fast response without the fear of typical false alarms.
One sensor monitors the 4.4 micrometer range and the
other sensors monitor the bands above and below. This
advanced technology allows the detector to distinguish
between non flame IR sources, and flames that emit hot
carbon dioxide in the combustion process (which have a
spectral characteristic peak at 4.4 micrometers).
As a result, both detection range and immunity to false
alarms can be significantly increased. The SafeFlame 3
IR detectors can detect a 0.1m2 (1ft2) gasoline pan fire
at up to 60m (200ft) in less than 5 seconds. SafeFlame's
IR3 detector is designed to ignore constant background
IR radiation, which is present in all environments.
Instead it measures the modulated part of the radiation
of a fire. When exposed to modulated non flame IR
radiation, IR and UV/IR detectors become more prone to
false alarms, while IR3 detectors become more immune
to false alarms.
