Apollo Intelligent Base Mounted UV IR2 Flame Detector (55000-023APO)

The Apollo Intelligent Base Mounted UV/IR2 Flame Detector (55000-023APO) is designed to protect open indoor areas where open flaming fires may be expected, including aircraft hangars, generator rooms, and paint works. Combining ultraviolet (UV) and dual infrared (IR2) sensing technologies, the detector provides rapid flame detection while helping to minimise false alarms caused by non-fire sources of radiation.

The 55000-023APO uses a UV sensor and two IR sensors that respond to different wavelengths, making it able to distinguish genuine flames from false radiation sources. This advanced detection technology allows the detector to respond quickly and reliably to fire conditions while keeping a high level of false alarm immunity.

The detector fits directly into Apollo Discovery and XP95 Bases and draws power from the detection loop, eliminating the need for an external power supply. Advanced filtering and signal processing help minimise false alarms caused by lightning, arc welding, and flickering sunlight, making it fitting for challenging industrial environments.
