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 and more.

Benefits

• Superior Performance

The Dräger Flame 2500 combines exceptional reliability with tough design and easy handling. Its multispectrum setup is based on three IR bands (IR3) and can quickly detect and report fuel and gas fires at considerably long distances. This combined with its high degree of operational flexibility and compatibility with other systems and interfaces makes it ideal for a large number of applications.

• Immunity To False Alarms

With the Flame 2500 common sources of unwanted alarms such as hotworks, hot CO2 emissions and flares reflections are no longer a problem. Plus, its sensitivity selection ensures that there is no zone crossover detection.

• Tough & Durable

As one of the most weather resistant detector currently on the market, the Flame 2500 is built to effortlessly function under various conditions. Such new features like its heated window effectively eliminate icing and condensation problems.

• Nothing Unnoticed

The Dräger Flame 2500 offers to you a quick and accurate flame detection. With a MTBF minimum of 150,000 hours and the ability to detect a 0.1 m2 gasoline pan fire at 65 m in less than 5 seconds, you can be sure that the safety of your operations and your workers is in the best of hands.

• Reliability

Functional safety is a concept applicable across all industry sectors. It is fundamental to the enabling of complex technology used for safety-related systems. It provides the assurance that the safety-related systems will offer the necessary risk reduction required to achieve safety for the equipment. The Dräger Flame 2500 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 increase reliability. 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 a fire.

• Simple installation and commissioning

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