The Drager Flame 1500 flame detector uses a triple IR sensor to detect hydrocarbon fires, even at great distances, with excellent immunity to false alarms. It is FM approved.
Fast and reliable flame detection
The Drager Flame 1500 has three infrared sensors that allow it to detect hydrocarbon-based fires even from a distance. This high level of reliability makes it compliant with IEC 61508 safety integrity requirements, as per SIL2 standards. It has a HART interface that can connect directly to the fire alarm system. Additionally, the Flame 1500 has a low power consumption feature.
Prevention of false alarms
The Flame 1500 measures infrared radiation in three different wavelengths and compares them with the reference value of CO2 produced during the combustion of hydrocarbons. In combination with the analysis of the flame’s flickering, the complex algorithm identifies a fire and excludes sources of interference. This way, the Flame 1500 reliably prevents false alarms caused by possible fault sources such as welding work or black body radiation.
Robust and resistant
The powder-coated housing made of stainless steel or aluminium is very robust and weatherproof. The viewing window is heated to protect against icing and fogging. This allows you to operate the Flame 1500 reliably under various environmental conditions.
Simple check
The Optical Verification Test (OVT) automatically checks the electronics and optics of the Flame 1500 without affecting the field of view. It does not require a reflective bridge for the OVT, which reduces the failure rate caused by dirt and insect buildup. The three-colour LED on the front lets you quickly see the unit’s status. Green stands for normal operation, yellow indicates a fault and red signals a fire alarm.
