Working in areas with combustible gases, vapours or materials requires fire/flame detection as a life-saving necessity. The best solutions must combine state-of-the-art technology with rugged durability and be ready to reliably work in any situation. Dräger offers a wide variety of high-quality flame-detectors that fulfil these requirements.

Benefits

The Cost-Effective Multi-Talent

• The Dräger Flame 2000 uses advanced flame analysis tools to quickly detect hydrocarbon-based fuel and gas fires. With its capability of providing an early warning of flaming fires at 4.5 μm and immunity to false alarms caused by other IR sources such as sunlight IR projectors – the Flame 2000 is the right choice for those who want more performance for less.

Tough And Intelligent

• The Flame 2000 is one of the most weather resistant single IR flame detector currently available on the market. It comes with new features such as a heated window to eliminate icing and condensation, HART® capabilities for digital, lower power requirements and a compact, lighter design.

Reliability

• Functional safety is a concept applicable across all industry sectors. It is fundamental to enabling complex technology used for safety-related systems. It provides assurance that the safety-related systems will offer necessary risk reduction. The Flame 2000 is highly reliable and complies with the IEC 61508 Safety Integrity Requirements of SIL2.

Automatic and manual optics checks (BIT)

• Automatic checks of the detector electronics and optics helps ensure that no fault goes undetected. Additionally the test can be triggered manually at any time.

Easily visible status LED

• A tri-colored LED which is visible at the front of the detector provides a simple status indication to personnel in close proximity to the detector. Green indicates normal operation; yellow indicates a fault and red indicates the presence of radiation from a fire.

Simple installation and commissioning

• Installation is simple! The detector is easily installed with a stainless steel tilt mount which enables the detector to be rotated up to 60° in all directions to position of the detector in relation to the potential fire source.

Further benefits and features:

• Sensitivity selection – to ensure no zone crossover detection
• Automatic and Manual Built-In-Test (BIT) – to ensure continued reliable operation
• Heated window – for operation in harsh weather conditions (snow, ice, condensation)
• Multiple output options for maximum flexibility and compatibility
• 3 Relays for Alarm, Fault and Auxiliary
• 0 – 20 mA (stepped)
• HART® Protocol for maintenance and asset management
• RS-485, Modbus compatible
• Approved to Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL2 – TÜV)
• Ex approvals for worldwide application: ATEX, IECEx, FM/FMC, CSA
• 3rd party performance tested: EN54-10 (VdS), FM3260
