Apollo Flameproof (Exd) IR3 Flame Detector (55000-062APO)
The Apollo Flameproof (Exd) IR3 Flame Detector (55000-062APO) is designed for use in hazardous environments in indoor and outdoor applications.
Apollo Flameproof (Exd) IR3 Flame Detector (Part No. 55000-062APO)
The Apollo Flameproof (Exd) IR3 Flame Detector (55000-062APO) is designed for reliable flame detection in hazardous indoor and outdoor environments. Using advanced triple infrared (IR3) sensing technology, the detector is highly sensitive to the low-frequency flickering infrared radiation emitted by flames during combustion, enabling fast and accurate fire detection.
The 55000-062APO continues to operate effectively even when the sensor is exposed to oil, dust, water vapour, or ice, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications. Its flameproof enclosure allows installation in hazardous areas where robust flame detection is essential.
The detector has been certified by BASEEFA for compliance with EN 60079-0, EN 60079-1, and EN 61241-1, providing confidence in hazardous-area installations. With selectable outputs, configurable response speeds, and an optical self-test function, the detector offers flexibility for a wide range of fire alarm system requirements.
