Description
Apollo Intelligent Base Mounted UV IR² Flame Detector
Part Number: 55000-023APO
The Apollo Intelligent Base Mounted UV IR² Flame Detector is designed to protect open indoor areas such as aircraft hangars, generator rooms and paint works where open flaming fires may be expected.
The detector has a UV and dual IR sensors responding to different wavelengths in order to discriminate between flames and spurious sources of radiation.
Operation
The detector is sensitive to ultraviolet and low-frequency, flickering infra-red radiation emitted by flames during combustion. Since it requires both UV and IR radiation, the detector can operate in applications where a basic single UV or single IR detector would be inappropriate.
The detector is set to respond to:
- Ultraviolet: 185−260nm
- Low-frequency flickering infra-red: 0.75−2.7μm
- Frequency range: 1−15Hz
This enables detection of all flickering flames, including those invisible to the naked eye, such as hydrogen fires.
The detector has:
- One UV sensor
- Two IR sensors responding to different wavelengths
This combination discriminates between flames and spurious sources of radiation. False alarms caused by electrical discharges from lightning or arc welding, and flickering sunlight, are minimised by combining the UV/IR signals.
Electrical Description
The detector is loop powered and needs no external supply.
A remote LED alarm indication may be connected to the flame detector.
Application
UV/IR² Flame Detectors are used when detection is required to be:
- Unaffected by convection currents, draughts or wind
- Tolerant of fumes, vapours, steam, dust and mist
- Responsive to a flame more than 25m away
- Fast reacting
