Flame Detectors

The FlameSpec range of triple IR (IR3) and UV IR flame detectors are faster in detection time and perform over longer distances while maintaining and improving on false alarm immunity. They are optimized to perform in adverse weather conditions such as rain, fog, sunlight, dust smoke etc. The optional in-built High Definition (HD) video camera allows for live video streaming of the area being protected. HD recordings of all alarm events can be downloaded from the HD version detectors for assistance with post incident investigations.

FLS-X5 Detector for Hi-Speed Detection

The FlameSpec ASx5 range flame detectors have been optimised to provide extra-fast detection of fires in hi‑speed production processes. The detector is designed to meet the NFPA33 standard which requires the detector to alarm on an event in less than 0-5secs. Performance tested and approved, the FLS ASx5 range is available in UVIR, IR3 and IR3-H2 configurations. Typical applications include: Automotive Spray Booths; High speed printing and coating; Fast moving conveyors and trains.

FlameSpec IR3

FLS IR3-H2-HD

FLS IR3-H2 (without HD camera)

Detects “invisible” hydrogen (H2) gas fires at long distances and provides the highest immunity to false alarms with its triple spectrum design. A special filter in front of the HD camera allows you to see the “invisible” fire.

The FLS IR3-H2-HD is fast, responding in:

  •  40ms for fast fire burst or explosion
  • 1.5s for 32” (0.8m) hydrogen fire at 0–66 ft. (0–20m)

Building & HVAC-R Line

The Building & HVAC-R line offers solutions for residential environments such as hotels, schools, hospitals, for machinery and engine rooms, and for large industrial environments such as gas storage depots and refrigeration plants.
The gas detectors in this line are designed to the same safety standards used in industrial environments.
This range of gas detectors guarantees professional detection for gases with a high GWP (Global Warming Potential) and follows the standards of the F-gas directive. These instruments detect flammable gases, ammonia, carbon dioxide (CO2) and generally all halogenated gases.

Portables Gas detectors

Building on from the success of our new partnership with Crowcon, we are proud to be launching their portable gas detector range. Crowcon’s portable gas detectors protect against a wide range of industrial gas hazards with both single gas and multi gas monitors available. With a variety of sizes, complexities and certifications, our customers can find the right portable gas detection solution to meet the number and type of gas sensors you need to protect your people and the environment.
