UV / IR / IR3 Flame Detection

Draeger Flame 1500 Features & Benefits

Photo Draeger Flame 1500
  • Avoidance of false alarms through the use of three infrared sensors and sophisticated algorithms
  • Fast reaction time: < 5 seconds (typical) for 0.1 m² n-heptane fire from 60 m distance
  • Heated window against icing and fogging
  • Maximum detection coverage with 90° horizontal and 90° vertical field of view and up to 60m range
  • High reliability confirmed by international certified bodies
  • Low maintenance due to built-in self-test without optical mirror

Draeger Flame 1750 Features & Benefits

  • Detects hydrogen-based fires even at long distances
  • In just five seconds, it notifies you of a hydrogen fire (1-metre flame) at a distance of up to 40 metres
  • meets the IEC 61508 requirements for safety integrity according to SIL 2
  • HART® and RS-485 interfaces and has low energy consumption
