Introduction
The FlameSpec-IR3-HD (FLS-IR3-HD) will detect fires and explosions extremely fast allowing preventative
action to be initiated rapidly and minimize the consequences!
•
Detection within 40 milliseconds of fireballs or explosions
•
Standard fire is detected within 1.5 second
from 100 ft. (30m) and 4 seconds from 230 ft. (70m).
The detector provides ultra-fast response, high performance and reliable detection of all types of
hydrocarbon fires (visible and non-visible). The detector addresses slow growing fires as well as fast eruption
of fire using improved triple IR (IR3) technology. It operates in all weather and light conditions with highest
immunity to false alarms.
In addition, the detector provides high-definition (HD) video output of the monitored area with clear imaging
of a fire event and of personnel at distances up to 100 ft (30m). This allows the rescue team to be aware of
the exact situation before entering the hazardous area. The detector automatically records video of fire event
(1 minute pre- and up to 3 minutes post-alarm initiation). These features, along with the built-in event logger,
provide additional means to study the cause and development of fire events.
