Apollo Flameproof (Exd) UV/IR2 Flame Detector (Part No. 55000-065APO)

The Apollo Flameproof (Exd) UV/IR2 Flame Detector (55000-065APO) is designed for reliable flame detection in challenging indoor and outdoor environments where open fires may be expected. Using a combination of ultraviolet (UV) and dual infrared (IR2) sensing technologies, the detector accurately distinguishes genuine fire events from non fire radiation sources, helping to minimise false alarms.

The 55000-065APO detects a wide range of flames, including those that may be invisible to the naked eye, such as hydrogen fires. Advanced UV and IR signal processing enables the detector to reject spurious sources of radiation, including flickering sunlight, arc welding, and lightning, ensuring dependable performance in challenging industrial environments.

Designed for challenging area applications, the detector offers flexible output configurations, options for response speeds, and remote self testing capabilities, making it fitting for a broad range of fire detection requirements.
