Why would I use the FL3102 DFIR flame detector over the FL3100 UV / IR detector?

General Monitors - Frequently Asked Questions about Gas and ...
The FL3102 DFIR has the ability to see a fire through heavy black smoke. The FL3100 may not see the fire since the black smoke would block the UV side. The “COPM” self checking only tests the lamps, windows for dirt and the UV and IR detector circuits. It does not test the relays or the 0-20mA stepped output. The TL103 allows you to test everything including the relays and output from the 0-20mA.

Why would I use a FL3100 UV / IR flame detector over the FL3101 UV detector?

General Monitors - Frequently Asked Questions about Gas and ...
The FL3100 is immune to lightning and arc welding. Many compressor stations and other applications are located in areas where lightning is present.

What is an Optical Flame Detector?

fs-business
The Optical detector is an electronic device containing electro-optical sensors that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation in the UV, VIS, IR spectral bands. The Optical detector "sees" the fire by detecting the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the combustion products.

What about Ultraviolet (UV) and Infra-red (IR) light?

TLI: SoLux News Page
In addition to the superior color rendering abilities, SoLux has been engineered to have very low heat (IR) output and ultra-low UV output. That combined aspect of extremely high color rendering and extremely low UV and low IR is extraordinary. It means that with SoLux, you will have the brilliance of daylight without the negatives aspects of UV and IR. The result is a superior presentation that won't cook or bleach the subject being illuminated.

Where should I locate the SMART UV/IR?

Net Safety Monitoring | Sales Department | FAQ and Industry ...
The UV/IR detector is designed for Class I, Division 1 (Class I, Zone 1) hazardous locations. It should be located in a manner so as to monitor areas of potential hazard. The distance between the detector and potential hazard is dependant on the fuel source and intensity of the UV/IR radiation source. The table below shows the maximum detection range with the UV/IR set to the highest sensitivity level for sample fuels.

Why do I need UV/IR technology?

Net Safety Monitoring | Sales Department | FAQ and Industry ...
Since the UV/IR requires two different radiation sources to alarm, it minimizes false alarm events. False alarms are also minimized due to immunity to lightning, arc welding, sunlight, and hot body radiation.

How do I test the UV/IR?

Net Safety Monitoring | Sales Department | FAQ and Industry ...
Net Safety has developed a test lamp specifically for the UV/IR to be tested while in a hazardous location. Simply point the lamp at the UV/IR and press the button. The UV/IR is also designed with an Automatic Visual Integrity (VI) feature, which tests the detector's optical surface every 90 seconds, and a Manual Visual Integrity feature to help with maintenance planning. The UV/IR can also be tested while in a non-hazardous area using a real fire.

How does an optical flame detector detect a fire?

fs-business
The fastest method to detect the above energies is the Optical analysis of the radiation emitted in a combustion process. The Optical detectors detect the radiation energy emitted by the chemical processes that take place in a fire.

What is the principle of operation of a Flame Ionization Detector?

Teledyne Analytical Instruments | FAQ
We are installing a 1223B with dual sensors per channel for an H2 plant. Is it possible to simulate a signal check for each channel module? If so, please advise the signal type and its equivalent range to 0-100% LEL.

Can I use an IR remote to control a music zone?

Kaleidescape - FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
The Music Player does not provide any IR inputs. However, it is possible to provide IR control of a Music Player indirectly through an external control system such as those offered by Crestron or AMX.

What output configurations are available for the UV/IR?

Net Safety Monitoring | Sales Department | FAQ and Industry ...
The UV/IR has a two output options: analog or analog relay. Please state your requirements at the time of ordering.

Can I use my metal detector?

Frequently Asked Questions - Missouri State Parks and Histor...
Metal detecting is allowed only on specific sand beaches in the facilities listed below. A permit is required and may be obtained free of charge by writing to Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Facility and Visitor Services Program, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102, or by e-mail.

What is UV?

Water Filters, Purifiers, and Purification FAQ
Ultraviolet (UV) light is at the invisible, violet end of the light spectrum. Even though we can't see UV light, we are exposed to UV rays from all light sources, including the sun.

What is the easiest way to sight and align a Net Safety Flame Detector?

Net Safety Monitoring | Sales Department | FAQ and Industry ...
Net Safety recommends using our Laser Alignment Tool. This device is temporarily placed over the fire head and the laser is used to establish the correct line of sight. Once positioned, the swivel mount is tightened to lock the detector in place and the Alignment Tool is removed.

Q51. Can I use a metal detector on Forest Service lands?

USDA Forest Service, Pike & San Isabel National Forests,...
We discourage the use of metal detectors on Forest Service lands to protect and preserve cultural and historic artifacts. Also, you should be aware that the National Historic Preservation Act generally prohibits collecting anything 50 years old or older.
