New Range of Base-Mounted Flame Detectors
Apollo Fire Detectors Ltd. is bringing a range of eight new
base-mounted flame detectors to the market, combining high
performance with a compact design into a unit suitable for most
land-based and marine applications. The devices' Class 1
performance allows them to quickly detect 0.1m2 flames at a
distance of 25m (EN54-10), and they can rapidly detect all types of
flames - including those from a hydrogen source, which are
invisible to the both the naked eye and some alternative flame
detection systems.
The devices are available in intelligent and conventional
versions which fit into Apollo's popular Discovery, XP95 or Series
65 bases, and are suitable for use in both marine and land-based
fire safety systems. A choice of detection methods is available to
suit the application, with single
UV, UV/IR
2 combined, and IR
3 variants on offer. Single UV distinguishes between
flames and most other sources of radiation, which the combined
UV/IR2 also does in addition to filtering out most
sources of false alarms such as arc welding and flickering
sunlight. The IR3 is typically unaffected by dust, dirt
and other sources of false alarms, as the detector can still
operate effectively even with the lens partially obscured.
Installation is made quick and easy with a special bracket and
integral Deckhead Mounting Box, and full compatibility with the
Discovery and XP95 protocols ensures that this range of
high-quality flame detectors is suitable for almost any situation
where flame detection is important - such as: aircraft hangars,
recycling centres, manufacturing and chemical production plants,
ships' engine rooms, fuel handling areas and power generation
facilities.
