IPES-UV Flame Detector

IPES-UV Flame Detector is indicated for use in detecting fires of metal and pyrophoric materials (those that ignite on contact with water or humid air). It is also ideally suited for areas where modulated infrared radiation may be present, such as hot spots on rotating electrical equipment.

IPES advanced detection technology ensures virtually instantaneous flame recognition and alarm. On detection, it transfers alarm signals to receiving control devices in control and operations rooms and on fire alarms and burglar/fire alarm systems. IPES detectors can also evaluate information from multiple sensors to monitor specific regions of ultraviolet light. This helps eliminate false positive indications from various types of interference that might occurring in the field of view.

The IPES-UV has a 90-degree field of view. It is “blind” to visible and infrared light and radiation from heated objects, and it is not affected by gases that absorb infrared radiation. However, it is able to “see” the ultraviolet radiation emitted by a flame.
