ESP Safety - Model IPES IR3 -Fire Flame Detector
The multi-spectral infrared technology of ESP Safety’s IPES-IR3 Flame Detector provides the highest sensitivity in detecting flames within a wide field of view. IPES-IR3’s advanced detection algorithm ensures rapid flame recognition while virtually eliminating false alarms. Alarms are sent only when ratios between three different IR wavelengths confirm that a flame is present in the field of view. IPES IR3 ignores false triggers from sources such as direct or indirect sunlight, arc welder flash, resistive heaters, fluorescent, halogen, and incandescent lights.
- Multi-spectral IR detection provides the highest level of flame and fire sensitivity.
- Multi-spectral IR detection provides optimal rejection of false alarms.
- Power-on self-test and frequent sensor self-test ensure system integrity and correct operation.
- Heated optics, secondary heater function helps to prevent condensation problems.
- Explosion-proof package allows for hazardous environment operation.
- Tri-color status LED on the device is easily viewable for a visual report of the device’s operating status.
- Continuous monitoring of the optical path for obstruction or reduced transmission affords maximum reliability.
- Power consumption of
- Digital, analog and relay outputs provide reliable status information across a range of communication formats.
- Industry standard for remote alarm and fault indication ensure reliability and consistency.
- Extended detection range provides a greater area of protection.
- Drilling and production platforms
- Shipping tankers, freighters, and other vessels
- Fuel loading facilities
- Refineries, bulk terminals, and tank farms
- LNG/LPG processing and storage facilities
- Compressor stations and pipeline facilities
- Petrochemical, paint, and fertilizer plants
- Power plants and gas turbine facilities
- Transportation facilities (airports and subways)
- Oil and gas fired boilers / furnaces
The built-in continuous self-check function will notify you if anything is obstructing the detector’s field of view or if there are circuit integrity problems. The unit comes standard with multiple outputs and you can choose to connect the detector via 4-20mA, RS485 or relays to your system for reliable communication.
For those applications where condensation may occur, an internal heater will activate to prevent any damage. And with power consumption less than 3W, ESP’s flame detector IPES IR3 assures low power costs.
The maximum area coverage along with SIL 3 rating makes IPES IR3 the best fit where reliability and performance are required. IPES IR3 has extended temperature range version -60 degrees Celsius to + 125 degrees Celsius for the most demanding industry applications.
The detector comes in both stainless steel and aluminum housing.
