The XP95 infra-red (IR) Flame Detector has been designed for use where open flaming fires may be expected. Applications include aircraft hangars, coal handling and paper manufacturing plants and woodworking environments. The detector is:
In quiescent condition, ie in the absence of a flame, the detector returns an analogue value of 25. When radiation from a flame is detected, the detector signals an alarm by increasing the returned analogue value to 55 (usually within 1.5 seconds). The value may continue to rise until it reaches a pre-set maximum of 64.
In the alarm state, the XP95 Flame Detector latches for 20 seconds, with the analogue value decreasing to 25 once the flame is no longer detected.
