FGD FlameSpec IR3 H2-HD flame detector

The FlameSpec-IR3-H2-HD flame detector provides ultra-fast response, high performance, and reliable detection of hydrogen fires. It operates in all weather and light conditions with the highest immunity to false alarms.
In addition, the detector's high-definition (HD) video output provides visualization of hydrogen flames that are invisible to the human eye. This allows the rescue team to be aware of the exact situation and location of invisible hydrogen flames before entering the hazardous area. The detector automatically records video of any fire event(1 minute pre- and up to 3 minutes post alarm initiation). These features, along with the built-in event logger, provide additional means to study the cause and development of fire events for "lessons learned" reviews.

Features and Benefits

  • High immunity to false alarm
  • Ultra-fast detection mode detection within 40 milliseconds for Hydrogen fireballs or explosions Hydrogen flame detection
  • High sensitivity – up to 100 ft. (30m)
  • HD video output with Automatic HD video recording of fire events. Visualization of hydrogen flames that are invisible to the human eye
  • Data/Event logger – alarms, faults and other relevant events are logged to non-volatile memory
  • Ethernet communication – in addition to the standard methods, such as Relays, 4-20mA and Modbus
  • Built-in-Test(BIT) – Automatic and manual internal self-test of window cleanliness and the overall operation of the detector
  • Window heater to avoid condensation and icing
  • KCs/ATEX/FM/EAC CU TR certifications
  • SIL2 certification
