SENSE-WARE IR3 (Infrared) Flame Detector (IR3-109/1CZ)

The SENSE-WARE IR3 flame detectors utilise a microprocessor for sophisticated electronic signal analysis.

The Infrared sensors must exceed their alarm threshold balance to initiate a fire alarm. The triple IR flame detector uses an additional alarm criterion: the analysis of the flame flicker frequency. The infrared IR3 flame detector has good false alarm rejection capabilities, including Arc Welding (> 3m), chopped sunlight or halogen lights but is still able to detect a real fire at the same time.

To prevent unwanted alarms, the dynamic delay time for an alarm is 4-8 seconds depending on the size and or the distance to the flames. The triple IR flame detector is suitable for the detection of light and heavy Hydrocarbon fires, in fact, every yellow to red flame that emits carbon dioxide will be detected.

A self-test is performed every hour to make sure the sensor and electronics operate well. A Test Lamp is available for regular inspections and end-to-end testing.
