An explosion proof visual flame detector. Processing live
video to detect the visual characteristics of flames. Delivered
through its FM and SIL 2 certified flame detection algorithms
and on-board digital signal processing. The safest and most
advanced flame detector on the market. Proven to perform in
the harshest environments anywhere in the world.
Highest Immunity to False Alarms
The PFDS301 consistently demonstrates the highest
immunity to false alarms in areas where flare reflections and /
or hot CO2 emissions may cause other technologies to false
alarm.
No Sensitivity Loss
The PFDS301 has been independently tested to
show no sensitivity loss to a fire in the presence
of modulated sunlight and modulated black body
heat. This key feature means the unit has greater
coverage than almost all other detectors in “real world”
outdoor conditions.
On-board Recording of Alarms
The PFDS301 incorporates a micro-SD card capable of
recording a video of detected fires pre and post alarm.
This recording is invaluable when carrying out an incident
investigation. By using the PFDS301, there will never be an
instance of an unknown alarm.
Live Video
Live colour video stream output provides invaluable insight of
protected area conditions.
Features and Benefits
- Intelligent visual flame detection (iVFD) principle ensures maximum false alarm immunity and eliminates sensitivity loss in the presence of modulated sunlight and black body heat.
- Operates with or without color video output
- On-board recording of pre and post fire alarms
- Continuous optical test: Verifies operation and improves device up-time
- Microprocessor controlled heated optics: Maintains operation in harsh weather conditions (snow, ice, condensation)
- International hazardous area approvals: FM / ATEX / IEC Ex / INMETRO / PESO /ECAS
- Certified performance testing to multiple fuels
- Spatially aware single sensitivity detection: External testing with a long-range flame simulator and Minimizes the need for scaffolding
- Easy integration using industry standard outputs:
- Alarm and Fault Relays
