The state-of-the-art multi-spectral infrared technology of ESP Safety’s Model IPES-IR3 Flame Detector affords the highest level of sensitivity in detecting flames from hydrocarbon based liquids and gases within a wide field of view. IPES-IR3’s advanced detection technology ensures rapid alarm signaling, while selective, multi-spectral technology virtually eliminates false alarms, ignoring false triggers from sources where UV in other detectors may be a problem, such as direct or indirect sunlight, arc welder flash, resistive heaters, fluorescent, halogen, and incandescent light.

 Features and benefits

•  Multi-spectral IR detection provides the highest level of flame and fire sensitivity.
•  Multi-spectral IR detection provides optimal rejection of false alarms.
•  Power-on self-test and frequent sensor self-test ensure system integrity and correct operation.
•  Heated optics, secondary heater function helps to prevent condensation problems.
•  Explosion-proof package allows for hazardous environment operation.
•  Tri-color status LED on the device is easily viewable for a visual report of the device’s operating status.
•  Continuous monitoring of the optical path for obstruction or reduced transmission affords maximum reliability.
•  Power consumption of <3W means low power costs, protection against surges.
•  Digital, analog and relay outputs provide reliable status information across a range of communication formats.
• Industry standard for remote alarm and fault indication ensure reliability and consistency.
• Extended detection range provides a greater area of protection.
