Apollo Flameproof (Exd) IR2 Flame Detector (55000-061APO)

The Apollo Flameproof (Exd) IR2 Flame Detector (55000-061APO) is designed for reliable flame detection in hazardous indoor environments. Using advanced dual infrared (IR2) sensing technology, the detector combines optical filtering and sophisticated signal processing to distinguish genuine flame signatures from non-fire radiation sources, helping to minimise unwanted alarms in challenging industrial applications.

The 55000-061APO performs effectively in environments where flickering lights and other sources of optical interference may be present. Its IR2 technology provides dependable flame detection while maintaining a high level of immunity to false alarm sources, making it suitable for hazardous locations where reliable fire detection is critical.

The detector has been certified by BASEEFA for compliance with EN 60079-0, EN 60079-1, and EN 61241-1, ensuring suitability for hazardous-area installations. With selectable output options, configurable response speeds, and an integrated optical self-test function, the detector provides flexibility for a wide range of fire detection systems.
