UV Flame Detectors
The Sierra Monitor 3510 Series Flame Detectors from Spectrex (Spectrex SharpEye UV Optical Flame Detectors 20/20U - SMC 3510-01 and 20/20UB - SMC 3510-02 which includes a Built-In Tester - BIT- function) are designed to meet the strict industry performance requirements. The UV sensor has been carefully selected to ensure the greatest degree of spectral matching to the radiant energy emissions of fire.
Flame is detected typically within 3 seconds for a 1 square foot pan gasoline fire. A unique Fast UV Flame Detector Model (20/20FU) - SMC 3510-03 detects within several milliseconds a saturated UV signal caused by an explosion or a large fire.
The microprocessor design allows for unique field programmability making these flame detectors easily adaptable to all environments, applications and requirements.
The SharpEye UV Flame Detector incorporates a special logic circuit that helps prevent false alarms caused by solar radiation. These models are self-contained, optical flame detectors that function as stand-alone units directly connected to external devices such as alarm systems or automatic fire extinguishing systems.
The UV detectors are particularly useful for detection of invisible flames from fuels such as: Hydrogen, Hydrides, Ammonia, Silane and other inorganic fuels.
