Reliable Operation

• 120° field of view

• Two radiation wavelengths necessary for
alarm— minimize false alarm events from
lightning, welding, sunlight and radiation

• Manual and automatic testing of optical
surfaces— monitors internal electronics

• Operating Range of -50°C to +75°C

• 3 year electronics and 2 year sensor
warranty

Easy to Use

• Compact and lightweight for ease of
installation

• Fully adjustable swivel mount is included

• User-defined sensitivity and time delay
settings

• Built-in testing routines ensure continuous
operation

Durable Housing

• Rugged, explosion-proof housing

• Stainless steel option ideal for harsh
environments

Versatile Design

• Stand-alone operation or can be connected
to a variety of control devices to create a
dependable fire monitoring system

The protection you need and trust. Protect
your site and personnel with the FD Series
UV/IR flame detector. Two spectrums of
radiation must be recognized and
confirmed by precisely tuned sensors for
the detector to initiate a fire condition,
which vastly reduces false alarms.
