3 Structure and function
3.1 Overview
The flame detector measures infrared radiation and can therefore detect organic
material fires with and without smoke.
The table below shows what types of fire the flame detector can and cannot detect.
Detection
No detection
Liquid fires without smoke
-
Gas fires without smoke
-
Open organic material fires with smoke,
for example fires of:
Wood
Synthetic material
Gas
Oil-based products
Inorganic materials, such as:
Hydrogen
Phosphorus
Sodium
Magnesium
Sulfur
However if inorganic materials are burning in a fire with organic materials, e.g.
packaging material, the flame detector can detect the fire.
The flame detector can be operated on both an FDnet/C-NET detector line and a
collective detector line.
A mounting bracket and ball and socket joint are available to aid flame detector
mounting at a particular angle. Two rain hoods are available to protect against rain.
More information can be found in the 'Accessories' chapter.
