3IR + UV detection
Multispectral detection using three infrared channels in the 3–8 µm range and the ultraviolet spectrum.
Suncar flame detectors
Equipment for detecting open flames and activating alarms at facilities with demanding industrial safety requirements.
Technical overview
The Suncar flame detector provides continuous automatic flame monitoring and early detection of hydrocarbon fuel, natural gas and hydrogen fires.
90° × 90° field of view
Horizontal and vertical coverage with a detection range of up to 90 m, depending on the flame type.
Up to 3 s at 30 m
Detection time: up to 3 s at 30 m, 5 s at 45 m, 15 s at 60 m and 30 s at 90 m.
4-20 mA, HART, RS-485
Modbus RTU communication, 4–20 mA/HART output, and alarm and fault relay signals.
IP67 and Ex d
Explosion protection marking: 1 Ex d IIC T6...T4 Gb X. Coated aluminium or 316L stainless steel housing.
-70...+125 °C
Weather-resistant design for harsh environments. A heated viewing window reduces condensation and icing.
60,000 hours
Mean time between failures of at least 60,000 hours; average service life of at least 10 years.
False alarm protection
Signal processing algorithms improve immunity to background light and external optical interference.
Selection criteria
Selection takes account of the distance to the monitored area, interference, environmental conditions and the required alarm response.
Detection area
A site, room, process unit or outdoor industrial area.
Operating conditions
Lighting, temperature, dust, humidity and potential optical interference.
Integration
Outputs to an alarm system, control cabinet, supervisory system or process control system.
