Dräger Flame 1500 (IR3)

Multi-Spectrum Triple Infrared Explosion-Proof Flame Detector

The Dräger Flame 1500 (IR3) is a high-performance optical flame detector designed for the continuous monitoring and rapid detection of hydrocarbon-based fires. Utilizing an advanced multi-spectrum triple infrared (IR3) sensor array, this device tracks specific infrared wavelengths and flame flicker frequencies, providing ultra-fast fire detection over exceptionally long distances.

Maximum Immunity Against False Alarms

Operating in harsh heavy-industrial complexes exposes safety equipment to demanding optical interference. The multi-wavelength algorithm ensures absolute precision by distinguishing real fire hazards from ambient non-fire sources:

• Triple Infrared Channel Evaluation: Compares multiple IR spectral bands simultaneously to ensure a highly accurate thermal match before initiating alarms.

• Advanced Interference Rejection: Complete immunity to typical industrial false alarm triggers such as arc welding, heavy machinery radiation, x-rays, and direct sunlight.

Key Features and Industrial Benefits

• Extended Detection Range: Capable of detecting a standard 0.1 m² (1 sq ft) n-heptane pan fire at distances up to 60 meters (200 feet) to provide vast spatial coverage.

• Automated Optics Integrity Checks: Equipped with a built-in reliability test (BIT) that automatically inspects the cleanliness of the optical window and internal circuitry.

• Rugged Explosion-Proof Housing: Constructed from high-grade aluminum or 316 stainless steel with an IP66/67 rating to survive extreme marine, offshore, and petrochemical environments.

• Configurable Relay and Digital Telemetry: Features versatile integrated relays and digital communication protocols to establish effortless handshakes with central safety control panels.
