Multispectrum Flame Detector is designed for fast, accurate flame detection in hazardous, industrial, and high-risk environments. Built to reduce false alarms while maximizing detection reliability, this device uses advanced multi-band optical sensing to recognize flame signatures across various fuel sources. It is engineered for critical industrial processes, offering durability, intelligent diagnostics, long-range coverage, and industry-leading detection capabilities.
This type of flame detector is ideal for refineries, chemical facilities, power plants, gas processing areas, and applications where safety standards demand rapid fire response with minimal nuisance activations.
Key Features of the Multispectrum Flame Detector
1. Fast Fire Recognition with Multiple Sensitivity Modes
The detector allows adjustable sensitivity levels, enabling optimized detection performance for different industrial conditions, fuel types, and operational environments.
2. Optical Integrity Self-Testing
An automatic optical integrity (OI®) check is performed every 60 seconds. This built-in fail-safe system ensures that the optics, sensors, and internal circuitry are functioning correctly without manual testing.
3. Heated Optics for Harsh Environments
Heated optical components reduce moisture, condensation, ice, and buildup caused by adverse weather or dirty industrial atmospheres, ensuring reliable performance even outdoors.
4. Event Data Logging
The integrated data logger records up to 1500 events, complete with time and date stamps. This supports audits, maintenance planning, and system troubleshooting.
5. Long-Range Flame Detection
Engineered for extended detection distances across multiple flame types, offering some of the longest ranges approved under industry standards.
Hydrogen-Capable Multispectrum Flame Detector (X3302-Type)
Hydrogen flames are extremely difficult to detect because they are nearly invisible to the naked eye and produce weak optical signatures. The X3302-type multispectrum flame detector solves this issue with optimized spectral filtering that allows accurate hydrogen flame detection at long distances.
Hydrogen Flame Detection Capabilities
- Specifically developed for hydrogen flame recognition
- Certified to perform under hydrogen fire test standards
- Also capable of detecting methanol, methane, and syngas flames
- Syngas mixture commonly includes:
- ~53% hydrogen
- ~24% methane
- ~11% nitrogen
- ~8% carbon monoxide
- ~4% carbon dioxide
This makes the detector suitable for hydrogen production plants, fuel storage areas, laboratories, turbines, chemical reactors, and facilities handling multi-fuel gas blends.
UV/IR Multispectrum Flame Detector (X5200-Type)
The UVIR multispectrum flame detector combines ultraviolet and infrared sensing to detect hydrocarbon flames with high immunity to false alarms. It is ideal for processes where intense IR radiation sources—such as heaters, sunlight reflections, or hot machinery—may interfere with standard detectors.
Key Advantages of UV/IR Detection
- Fast hydrocarbon flame response
- Configurable for rapid detection or enhanced false-alarm immunity
- Effective in applications with variable IR interference
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor industrial environments
