HOCHIKI INFRA RED INTRINSICALLY SAFE FLAME DETECTOR ALLOY HOUSING

IFD-E (IS) is an Intrinsically Safe IR³ flame detector designed for use where open flaming fires may be expected and responds to the light emitted from flames during combustion. The detector discriminates between flames and other light sources by responding only to particular optical wavelengths and flame flicker frequencies.

 This enables the detector to avoid false alarms due to such factors as flickering sunlight. Ideal for the detection of flames from the burning of Aviation Fuels (kerosene), Butane, Grain & Feeds, Hydrogen, Paper, Natural Gas, Petrol (gasoline) etc.

Features 

Unaffected by convection currents, draughts or wind and solar-blind

Tolerant of fumes, vapours, dust and mist

Responsive to a flame more than 25 m away

Selectable response speed

Class 1 performance as defined in BS EN54-10:2002 (on the high sensitivity setting)
