FAQs of UV-IR Type Flame Detector:
Q: How does the UV-IR Type Flame Detector differentiate between real flames and false alarms?
A: This detector employs both UV and IR sensors, analyzing both emission types typical in real fires. Dual-spectrum technology, combined with advanced algorithms, filters out false alarms from sources like sunlight, lightning, or electrical arcs, ensuring only genuine flames trigger the alarm.
Q: What applications are suitable for this flame detector?
A: Its designed for industrial and hazardous environments, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, storage areas, and manufacturing facilities, where rapid and reliable detection of fire classes A, B, and C is critical to safety and equipment protection.
Q: When should I perform maintenance checks on the flame detector?
A: Although the built-in self-test regularly monitors the devices health, its advisable to inspect and clean the detector according to your facilitys safety schedule or after exposure to extreme environmental conditions to ensure optimal performance.
Q: Where should the flame detector be installed for best coverage?
A: For maximum effectiveness, mount the detector on a wall or ceiling using its adjustable bracket, ensuring an unobstructed view over the area to be protected. Each unit covers up to a 30-meter radius, so position accordingly for comprehensive coverage.
Q: What output and connectivity options are supported by the detector?
A: This model provides alarm, fault, and auxiliary relay outputs as well as a 420 mA analog output for control system integration. Electrical connections utilize cable glands or terminal blocks, suiting various industrial wiring preferences.
Q: How does the LED alarm indication work on this device?
A: When a flame is detected, the detector activates a bright LED as a clear visual indicator of the alarm state, allowing immediate local recognition in addition to remote relay signaling.
Q: What are the benefits of the detectors enclosure and construction materials?
A: The die-cast aluminum enclosure with epoxy powder coating delivers IP65 ingress protection, ensuring durability against dust and water, while remaining lightweight (approx. 2.5 kg) and corrosion-resistant for dependable operation in harsh environments.
