Description
55000-063APO Conventional I.S. Flame Detector (IR3) [SIL2]
The Conventional I.S. Flame Detector (IR3) is designed for harsh environments in either indoor or outdoor applications. It is sensitive to low frequnency flickering IR radiation emitted from flames during combustion. The sensor operates even through a layer of oil, dust, water vapour or ice.
Key Features:
- ATEX & IECEx certified: II 1 G
- CENELEC/IEC Certified: Ga Ex ia IIC T4
- Class 1 sensitivity to EN 54-10 detects 0.1m2 fire at 25m
- High optical interference immunity
- Selectable response speed
- Optical self test
- Low power consumption
What is Intrinsic Safety? (I.S.)
For cost & mechanical reasons, fire detectors are made intrinsically safe rather than flameproof. Intrinsically safe equipment operates at such low power and with such small amounts of stored energy that it is incapable of causing ignition.
