Crowcon FGard IR3 Flame Detector

The Crowcon FGard IR3 is a multi-spectrum infrared (IR3) flame detector designed to provide fast and reliable detection of hydrocarbon liquid fuel and gas fires. It combines advanced flame detection algorithms, heated optics, and automatic optical verification to deliver excellent false alarm immunity.

Features

  • Multi-spectrum infrared (IR3) flame detection.
  • Detects hydrocarbon liquid fuel and gas fires.
  • Detection range up to 60 m (200 ft).
  • Detects a 0.1 m² hydrocarbon fire in less than 5 seconds.
  • Advanced flame detection algorithms for reduced false alarms.
  • Intelligent heated optics to prevent condensation, ice, and water build-up.
  • Automatic optical verification without a reflector.
  • Continuously checks lens cleanliness and electronic circuitry.
  • Large optical surface for improved reliability.

Benefits

  • Fast and accurate hydrocarbon flame detection.
  • Excellent immunity to false alarms.
  • Reliable operation across a wide range of environmental conditions.
  • Reduced maintenance with automatic optical self-check.
  • Suitable for demanding industrial applications.
