explosion proof colour imaging based standalone flame detector with integrated CCTV system (Dräger Flame 5000)

The Dräger Flame 5000 is an explosion proof colour imaging based flame detector. Each detector operates standalone and incorporates, within a single unit, an integrated CCTV system; digital signal processing and software algorithms to process live video image and interpret the characteristics of a flame.

Simple installation & commissioning
Installation is simple! The detector is easily installed with a stainless steel mounting bracket; this can be rotated to ensure optimum positioning of the detector in relation to the potential fire source.

Detector flexibility
The detector can be operated as a standalone unit providing live video images, it can also be integrated with a control system or fire panel to provide fault, and fire signalling. This is achieved using a 0 to 20 mA, or relay outputs. An in-built memory card allows the detector to record before and after the alarm.

Advance Optical Verification
The optical verification facility is designed to check the window for contamination and to ensure the detectors field of view is not compromised by an obstruction placed immediately in front of the detector. The surveillance aspect of the detector eliminates the need to dispatch operators to investigate alarms. This reduces the risk of injury and also improves response time.

Easily Visible Status LED
A tri-colour LED which is visible at the front of the detector provides a simple status indication to personnel in close proximity to the detector. Green indicates normal operation; yellow indicates a fault and red indicates the presence of radiation.

Field of View
The Dräger Flame 5000 can detect fires of 0,1m² or greater, at 44 m within a 90° Horizontal Field of View. The detector´s Field of View is a rectangular pyramid shape and represents a radial projection of the sensing element, therefore giving it the greatest coverage area of any flame detector currently available.

False Alarm Immunity
The Dräger Flame 5000´s advanced image processing algorithms are so discriminating that false alarms are all but non-existent.

Worldwide Approvals
The Dräger Flame 5000 has the option of being Aluminium, or Stainless Steel. It can be used worldwide with the following approvals: ATEX, IECEx, FM and CFM.
