AC-IR-3FQ CONSILIUM

Consilium AC-IR-3FQ Flame Detector 5200236-00A, Marine Conventional Flame Detector

The point type flame detector is a part of the series of conventional detectors. It is a fully functional indoor sun blind flame detector with high false alarm immunity. Designed for connecting point type fire detectors in conventional offshore areas, this detector can include any combination of detection technologies.

Main features

The point type flame detector is a part of the MXTechnology digital addressable fire detector series. MXTechnology combines thermal, optical, and carbon monoxide detection functions. Flame detectors provide an economical and effective solution that can provide flame detection without false alarms for closed applications. They are all fully functional solar blind flame detectors, suitable for enclosed use and have a high degree of false alarm prevention capability.

The standard unit is designed to be directly connected to the MX digital loop, using the same detector base or functional base as other 800 series fire detectors. It is an intrinsically safe type suitable for hazardous environments and must be connected through an EXI800 interface and an electrical isolator

Flame detector, also known as photosensitive fire detector, is a type of fire detector used to respond to the light characteristics of a fire, that is, to detect the light intensity of flame combustion and the flicker frequency of the flame.

According to the optical characteristics of flames, there are three types of flame detectors used: one is a UV detector sensitive to the shorter wavelength ultraviolet radiation in the flame; Another type is an infrared detector that is sensitive to the longer wavelength infrared radiation in flames; The third type is a hybrid ultraviolet/infrared detector that simultaneously detects both shorter wavelength ultraviolet and longer wavelength infrared in flames.

According to the detection band, it can be divided into flame detectors such as single ultraviolet, single infrared, dual infrared, triple infrared, infrared/ultraviolet, and additional video.

According to the explosion-proof type, it can be divided into: explosion-proof type and intrinsically safe type.

For the 0.185-0.260 micron wavelength ultraviolet radiation generated during flame combustion, a solid substance such as silicon carbide or aluminum nitrate can be used as a sensitive element, or a gas filled tube can be used as a sensitive element, such as a Geiger Miller tube.
