Talentum

IR² Flame Detector

The Talentum dual Infra-Red (IR²) Flame Detector is designed to

protect areas where open fires may be expected and detects
almost all flames, including hydrocarbon fires with 4.3μm
emissions through to invisible fires such as hydrogen.

The IR² Flame Detector is sensitive to flickering, low frequency

(1-15Hz) infra-red radiation emitted by flames during combustion
even if the lens is contaminated by a layer of oil, dust, water,
vapour or ice. Part Number: 16581-00

This detector has two IR sensors which respond to different IR

wavelengths in order to discriminate between flames and spurious Applications
sources of radiation. False alarms from flickering sunlight are + Compressor Stations
