Notifier FD Series Triple IR - Manual (Page 2)

Serious risks to personnel and property are
always present at industrial facilities that
store, transport and process flammable or
explosive chemicals. Automatic flame
detection and must be initiated within
seconds whenever a fire ignites. The FD
Series Triple IR flame detector provides
reliable and instantaneous flame detection
response.
Advanced technologies reduce maintenance
costs and provide rock-solid performance in any
environment. Three discrete infrared sensors are
precisely tuned to infrared wavelengths with
dynamic differences in absolute amplitude, relative
amplitude, flicker frequency, phase relationship
and bandwidth of energy emitted by typical fires,
whether small, gradually expanding fires or
massive, instantaneous explosions. Unexpected
bursts of thermal energy, reflections of hot
equipment or heavy rain and snow can cause
other flame detectors to ignore actual fire, cause
false alarms or go into a fault condition.
Automatic digital zoom (ADZ) technology precisely
and reliably identifies a broad spectrum of flame
types and sizes while minimizing false alarms.
ADZ provides accurate detection of small and
massive flames in the most difficult working
situations where other detectors fail.
The FD Series Triple IR is the only flame detector
on the market that does not have an external
reflector or light source. External reflectors and
light sources often become obscured by industrial
dirt and corrosion which cause unwanted fault
alarms that requires difficult and costly
maintenance to correct. The FD Series Triple IR
flame detector completely eliminates these issues
in applications where salt, dust, petroleum vapor,
heavy rain and snow or blowing sand are present.
