Simtronics DF-TV7 MultiFlame Flame Detector

The Simtronics DF-TV7 MultiFlame series by Teledyne is designed to detect fires while minimising false alarms. Equipped with an intelligent self-test, the detector ensures that the optical path is clear and that the detector is operating correctly.

The detector is certified and can be installed in a SIL2-level system. It can connect to a wide range of traditional fire controllers and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). The unit is supplied with a configurable 4-20mA or 0-22mA (PLC) output, two configurable alarm relays, and two detector status LEDs. HART 7 and optional Syntel are also available.

The unit is fully configurable using a wireless hand-held terminal (TLU600) or optionally via HART (TM), providing flexibility to the installer. Time delays, sensitivity, and output configuration can be set up via the TLU, a hazardous-area-approved hand-held unit. Wireless testing of the optical and output circuits is also possible using the TLU for easy maintenance.

MultiFlame Versions

• DF-TV7-T: Multi-spectrum Infrared flame detector using three wavelengths. Designed for use in dirty environments for detection of hydrocarbon and smoky fires. SIL3 certified.
• DF-TV7-V: Multi-flame combined ultraviolet/infrared flame detector. Designed for challenging environmental conditions such as combined rain and wind, rapid sunshine variations, hot source modulations, industrial lighting, and other demanding environments. UV can be sensitive to welding radiation, lightning, X-rays, and gamma rays. SIL2 certified.
