Sensitive flame detector still avoids
false alarms
Latest updated version of the Det-Tronics X3300 infrared optical flame detector provides a unique combination of higher detection sensitivity and immunity to traditional false alarm sources
Latest updated version of the Det-Tronics X3300 infrared optical flame detector provides fire system and instrumentation designers with what is said to be a 'unique' combination of higher detection sensitivity and immunity to traditional false alarm sources These unitised multi-spectrum detectors provide a 'single-knock' fire system solution, with a single device able to replace the two or three detectors normally needed for fail-safe cover of an area in many applications, including offshore platforms, oil refineries, process plants and other buildings
