FDS301 Intelligent Visual Flame Detector is designed for hazardous industries where fast optical flame detection is critical and nuisance alarms are not an option.

Description

Overview

The MICROPACK FDS301 is an explosion proof visual flame detector. It processes live video images to detect the characteristic properties of flames visually, by means of its FM and SIL 2 certified flame detection algorithms and on-board digital signal processing. It is the safest and most advanced flame detector on the market today, and its installation track record in the harshest of locations around the globe has proven the instrument to be extremely robust.

About the product

The FDS301 intelligent Visual Flame Detector delivers unrivalled false alarm immunity compared with competing technologies. The detector has in-built safety features such as live colour CCTV output and on-board micro-SD card which records alarms for post-event analysis.

Worldwide Approvals

With FM, FMC, IECEx, ATEX, CE, and SIL2 approval, the FDS301 is accepted worldwide. This acceptance is enhanced with a range of metric and imperial threads, and both PAL and NTSC video modes.

Immunity and Discrimination

The FDS301 is immune to common sources of unwanted alarms such as hot work (e.g. grinding and welding), hot CO2 emissions (such as turbine exhausts) and reflected flare radiation.

Flame Detection and Live Video

The FDS301 outputs a live video signal over standard twisted pair cable.  The live video provides instant visual verification of fire eliminating the need to send personnel into potentially hazardous situations and reducing the risk of injury. Although the FDS301 transmits live video images, it is not necessary to utilize them as the unit will still be a fully functioning flame detector.

On-board Flame Video Recording

Each FDS301 incorporates an on-board Micro-SD card capable of recording 17 seconds of the alarm video – 8.5 seconds pre-alarm and 8.5 seconds’ post-alarm. This feature proves invaluable during incident analysis. It means you will never have an unknown alarm. Operators who have experienced fires have used the recording to put preventative measures in place to ensure the same incident does not occur again.

Single Sensitivity

Unlike any other flame detector on the market, the sensitivity of the detector is pre-set, and no configuration is required. The detector is sensitive to fires of n-heptane 0.1m2 at up to 44m within a 90° Horizontal field of view. The sensitivity of the detector is pre-set and no changes in sensitivity are required.

Flexible Outputs

With built in relays, the FDS301 can be operated as a standalone alarm device with no need for further control equipment. Alternatively, it can be integrated into a control system using its 2 relay outputs, or 0 to 20 mA signal with HART.
