After years of flame sensing research and development, Optect has developed the world's first optically enhanced long range flame detector.
Optect's IR3 detector is ideal for those looking to cover large areas from a single device or detect ultra-small fires. For perspective, a single candle flame is detectable at 20m.
IR3 Flame Detection Now At Long Range
1ft x 1ft industry standard heptane pan fire detection limits:
10 second data assessment time: 500m
60 second data assessment time: 1000m
Why Optect's Flame Sensor
Fast Detection
Flame sensors can detect fires in under 5 seconds. Optect has extended this capability for long range applications.
High
Reliability
IR3 flame detectors are inherently reliable. With two rejection channels and one positive ID channel, they are known to have false alarm rates of less than 1 in 15 years. Optect has developed advanced new false alarm suppression techniques to further increase the reliability.
Simple to operate
Optect's device can be operational within minutes of unboxing. Standard interface options make it easy to integrate with existing fire control systems.
Application Example:
Asset protection in Wildfire prone areas
Ember storm detection
Small flames are detected either on airborne embers or immediately after an ember ignites a flammable surface, enabling rapid sprinkler activation. The system also detects partially obscured flames, ensuring reliable performance even in complex or cluttered environments.
Reliable even in thick smoke
​​Unlike traditional smoke detectors or cameras, they do not rely on particulate detection or images but instead recognize the specific wavelengths emitted by combustion. These thermal signatures penetrate smoke enabling reliable flame detection during smoky, wind-driven wildfires.
Early warning for inbound fires
When positioned to face potential wildfire approach paths, Optect detectors can identify flames several miles away, as long as there is a clear line of sight to flames. This long-range detection provides critical early warning, allowing defensive measures to be engaged and giving residents valuable time to evacuate safely.
