FlameSpec UV-IR User Manual

1. Introduction

The FlameSpec-UV-IR flame detector provides ultra-fast response, high performance and reliable detection
of a large variety of fires including hydrocarbon fires (visible and non-visible), as well as hydrogen fires (FLS-
UV-IR only).
The detector addresses slow growing fires as well as fast eruptions of fire using improved UV-IR technology.
The detector operates in all weather and light conditions. It will automatically record a fire event (1 min
pre/post alarm) using the internal data logger.
This manual covers two UV/IR detector models:
1. FLS-UV-IR: Hydrogen and hydrocarbons flame detection. Spectrum response of IR radiation in the
3.0-4.0 micron range
2. FLS-UV-IR-F: Hydrocarbon flame detection. Spectrum response of IR radiation in the 4.0-5.0 micron
range

1.1 Key Features
