UV-IR Optical Fire Detector – XS Model
UV-IR XS / FLAME DETECTION UV-IR Optical Fire Detector – XS Model
Modern fire detection systems operating in military, marine and industrial environments require extremely fast reaction times combined with strong resistance to false alarms. The UV-IR Optical Fire Detector – XS Model uses dual-spectrum flame sensing and configurable microcontroller-based processing to support precise, ultra-fast fire detection in demanding operational conditions.
A compact dual-spectrum detector developed for applications where millisecond-level flame recognition, broad viewing coverage and reliable discrimination against common false-alarm sources are required.
Dual-Spectrum Flame Recognition for Rapid Fire Events
Fires in vehicle compartments, marine platforms and high-risk industrial areas can develop before conventional heat or smoke sensing provides an adequate response window. The UV-IR Optical Fire Detector – XS Model monitors flame-related radiation in both ultraviolet and infrared spectrums to identify developing fire conditions at an early stage.
Its microcontroller-based architecture evaluates the detected UV and IR signals against predefined thresholds. Alarm generation depends on flame-specific radiation being confirmed across both sensing channels, providing a more selective detection approach for critical installations.
Configurable UV and IR Signal Evaluation
The XS Model combines UV/IR flame detection with a thermal sensor and uses advanced software algorithms to distinguish flame signatures from surrounding radiation. Sensitivity can be adjusted through its microcontroller-based design to suit different operational requirements.
The source specifies a response time below 3 milliseconds, high sensitivity to creeping fires and a 140° field of view. A serial communication port is also provided for diagnostics and maintenance functions.
