These flame detectors give the highest immunity to false flame sources both indoors or out. They have internal self-test sources that check the detector’s operation when remotely instructed. The maximum ambient temperature is normally 55°C or 85°C for the higher temperature specification detectors.Detects invisible flames from fuels such as Hydrogen and other inorganic fuels.

Vibration sensitive switches are used to protect rotating plant and reciprocating machinery. They are adjustable to operate above the normal running levels of vibration, activating alarm or machine shut-down circuits.The vibration switches have a low frequency response, which makes them ideal for detection of mass unbalance on most machines. They are inherently insensitive to high frequency components and those caused by external knocks, etc.

The Talentum® story began when inventor Andrew Broadbent’s father; a textile supervisor, felt that the local fire service was becoming too permanent a fixture in his workplace. Traditional smoke detectors couldn’t cope with the dusty mill environment which resulted in frequent false alarms. This presented a real risk of distracting the fire service from emergencies, or creating a ‘cry wolf’ scenario where the alarm would not be taken seriously.

The test unit simulates the flickering flame signal by modulating the output of a filament lamp. The thermal time constant of a filament lamp prevents the generation of a perfect flame flicker signal. The slow response of the filament lamp will mean that some flame sensors many require more time to activate under test than they would with a real flame.

With over half a million units installed worldwide, fireray® is the first choice for installers and engineers looking for Optical Beam Smoke Detection over wide areas. Favoured by architects thanks to its compact design, and by installers and engineers that value the opportunity to speak directly to the designers at our UK HQ; fireray® is relied upon to protect some of the world’s most iconic and historic buildings.
