Sentinel™ Pro Series: Advanced Multi-Spectrum Flame Detector - Unrivaled Fire Safety & Early Detection
Safeguard Your Assets, Protect Your People
In environments where fire poses an ever-present threat, early and accurate detection is paramount. The Sentinel™ Pro Series Advanced Multi-Spectrum Flame Detector is engineered to provide industry-leading protection, delivering rapid, reliable, and intelligent flame detection in the most challenging industrial, commercial, and hazardous applications. Minimize risks, prevent catastrophic damage, and ensure operational continuity with our cutting-edge detection technology.
Key Features
Our Sentinel™ Pro Series detectors combine state-of-the-art technology with robust design to offer superior performance:
Multi-Spectrum IR3 & UV/IR2 Detection: Utilizes a combination of multiple infrared (IR) sensors and/or ultraviolet (UV) sensors to detect specific spectral patterns emitted by flames. This advanced technique ensures:
Unrivaled False Alarm Immunity: Differentiates actual flames from common false alarm sources like arc welding, hot CO2 emissions, sunlight, hot objects, and lightning, significantly reducing nuisance alarms.
Broad Fuel Spectrum Detection: Capable of detecting hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon fires, including hydrogen, ethanol, methanol, methane, and more.
Rapid Response Time: Detects flames within 2-5 seconds (typical, depending on fire size and distance), enabling critical early intervention.
Wide Field of View: Provides a 100° horizontal and 90° vertical cone of vision, covering large areas with fewer units, optimizing installation costs and effectiveness.
Extended Detection Range: Detects a 0.3m (1ft) n-Heptane fire at up to 60 meters (200 ft), ensuring comprehensive coverage for vast spaces.
Continuous Self-Test (BIT): Automatically performs comprehensive self-diagnostics to verify full operational integrity, ensuring the detector is always ready to respond. Faults are immediately communicated.
Robust & Durable Construction:
IP66/IP67 Rated: Provides exceptional protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, making it suitable for outdoor and wash-down environments.
Explosion-Proof Housing: Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel (316L) or anodized aluminum, certified for use in hazardous areas (ATEX, IECEx, UL, FM approvals).
Wide Operating Temperature Range: Functions reliably from -40°C to +75°C (-40°F to +167°F).
Versatile Outputs & Communication:
Standard 4-20 mA Output: For seamless integration with DCS, PLC, and other control systems.
RS-485 Modbus RTU: For digital communication, configuration, and diagnostics.
Alarm and Fault Relays: Configurable NO/NC contacts for direct alarming and system health monitoring.
HART Protocol (Optional): For advanced device management and calibration.
Easy Installation & Commissioning: Designed for straightforward setup with flexible mounting options and intuitive configuration software.
Benefits for Your Operations
Investing in the Sentinel™ Pro Series Flame Detector brings a multitude of advantages:
Maximized Safety: Provides crucial early warning to prevent escalation of fires, protecting personnel and valuable assets.
Reduced Downtime & Damage: Rapid detection allows for immediate suppression, minimizing potential damage, production stoppages, and associated costs.
Enhanced Operational Reliability: With superior false alarm immunity, you can trust your detection system without costly disruptions from nuisance alarms.
Regulatory Compliance: Meets stringent industry standards and certifications, helping you comply with safety regulations and insurance requirements.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Durable design, minimal maintenance, and efficient coverage reduce long-term operational expenses.
Peace of Mind: Operate with confidence knowing your facility is protected by cutting-edge, reliable flame detection technology.
How It Works
The Sentinel™ Pro Series employs sophisticated algorithms to analyze the spectral signatures of radiant energy. For instance, our Multi-IR detectors utilize three specific IR bands (e.g., 4.3µm for CO2, plus two other IR bands) which flicker at characteristic flame frequencies. By cross-referencing these signals, the detector precisely identifies true flames while rejecting interfering sources. Similarly, UV/IR detectors combine the rapid response of UV detection with the false alarm immunity of a single IR channel. This multi-sensor approach ensures robust and dependable performance.
Ideal Applications
The Sentinel™ Pro Series is ideally suited for a wide range of critical applications, including:
