The SENSE-WARE IR3 flame detectors utilizes a microprocessor for sophisticated electronic signal analysis. The Infrared sensors must exceed their alarm threshold balance to initiate a fire alarm. The triple IR flame detector uses an additional alarm criterion: the analysis of the flame flicker-frequency. The infrared IR3 flame detector has good false alarm rejection capabilities, including Arc Welding (> 3m), chopped sunlight or halogen lights but is still able to detect a real fire at the same time. To prevent unwanted alarms, the dynamic delay time for an alarm is 4-8 seconds depending on the size and or the distance to the flames. The triple IR flame detector is suitable for the detection light- and heavy Hydrocarbon fires, in fact, every yellow to red flame that emits Carbondioxide will be detected. A self-test is performed every hour to make sure the sensor and electronics operate well. A Test Lamp is available for regular inspections and end-to-end testing.
