Functions - Data Sheet - FDF242

The flame detector with three pyroelectric sensors uses the principle of infrared detection for effective fire detection. Each of the three pyroelectric sensors has been designed to analyze a specific wavelength in the infrared spectrum.

The detector facilitates continuous monitoring of the detection range by analyzing and digitally evaluating the infrared ray. Its intelligent algorithm supports fast and accurate differentiation between deceptive phenomena and real fires.

The internal electronics are monitored continuously to ensure reliable functioning. In the event of a fault, a message is sent to the fire control panel immediately.

Detection of combustibles

The flame detector is suitable for detecting gas and liquid fires from hydrocarbon, oil and alcohol fuels and solid combustibles such as wood (class A) or any other fire source that emits CO₂ during combustion.

Reliable detection of flames from the following combustibles is assured:

Testing

The functions of the flame detector are checked with the test lamp. The flame detector is set to test mode for the purpose of the checks.
