Description & Overview

UV/IR Multi-Spectrum Flame Detector

⚡ MICROSECOND RESPONSE ???? HAZARDOUS AREA RATED

???? Product Overview

The UV/IR Multi-Spectrum Flame Detector (Triple IR) represents the gold standard in optical flame detection technology. Combining three infrared sensors with ultraviolet backup, this detector distinguishes between actual flames and false alarm sources with exceptional reliability. Response time as fast as 500 microseconds for UV detection.

Ideal for: Oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, aircraft hangars, ammunition storage, hydrogen production, and turbine enclosures.

Common Safety Queries

How often should extinguishers be serviced?

For optimal safety, commercial extinguishers should be inspected monthly and professionally serviced annually as per strict fire safety standards.

What is the lifespan of a fire extinguisher?

Most dry chemical extinguishers last between 10-12 years if maintained correctly, but the propellant and cylinder integrity must be checked regularly.
