Apollo Marine Intelligent Base Mounted IR3 Flame Detector (55000-029MAR)

The Apollo Marine Intelligent Base Mounted IR3 Flame Detector (55000-029MAR) provides reliable flame detection for marine and offshore environments where open flaming fires may be expected. Designed to operate effectively in dirty or smoky conditions, the detector uses triple infrared (IR3) sensing technology to identify flames quickly while keeping a high level of immunity to false alarms.

The 55000-029MAR incorporates three infrared sensors, each responding to different IR wavelengths, making the detector able to distinguish genuine flames from non-fire sources of radiation. Advanced filtering and signal processing techniques help minimise false alarms caused by environmental factors such as flickering sunlight and other sources of interference.

Designed for marine fire detection systems, the detector operates using the Apollo XP95 or Discovery digital protocol and works with CoreProtocol. Its compact design allows installation directly into Apollo Discovery Marine Bases, while loop powered operation eliminates the need for an external power supply.
