Fiber Optic Flame Detector (IR2LF)

The fiber optic flame detector is designed for the early detection of open flames in industrial processes with an increased risk of ignition.

The system ensures fast and reliable identification of ignition sources, enabling timely activation of fire suppression systems and preventing the escalation of hazardous situations.

The detector is particularly effective in enclosed process areas where flammable vapors, dust, or aerosols may be present, allowing threats to be identified before the development of a fire or explosion.

Recommended Applications:

 Spray booths

 Powder coating systems

 Enclosed production areas without external lighting

 Processes with an increased risk of ignition

Operating Principle

The detector identifies flame radiation in the infrared spectrum using a fiber optic sensor connected to a signal amplifier.

The signal is transmitted from the monitored area via optical fiber, processed by the amplifier, and sent to the control unit to generate an alarm signal or activate the suppression system.
