Spark detector FM 1/8

infraredindustrialprocess

Highly sensitive detection of sparks and embers Detection not dependent on temperature of ignition source Highly reliable detection of ignition sources, even at high transport speed and load Flush-mounted installation of detector optics for maximum life VdS and FM approved - Dust Ex safety options available for ATEX and IECEx Functional description The FM 1/8 is a highly sensitive spark and ember detector for protection against fire and explosion in industrial processes. The detector reacts to the infrared range of light radiated by an ignition source. It is designed to be used in an environment free from ambient light. The detector can be connected to every GreCon control console using a standard three core cable. A range of flexible mounting adapter options exist to suit any environment. The control console interfaces with the detector for monitoring of ignition sources within the process, the configuration of detection parameters and automated check of the detector optics’ correct function. Technical specification Summary Highly sensitive detector for detecting sparks as well as glowing and hot particles in pneumatic and mechanical transport ducts. Specifications Spectral sensitivity: 780 nm to 1100 nm Viewing angle: 120° Ambient temperature: -40 °C to +70 °C Ambient temperature in the material flow: max. +80 °C at the lens Relative atmospheric humidity: 0 to 95 %, non-condensing Transportation speed: 2 to 50 m/s (other speeds on demand) Use: in areas without daylight and without artificial light Connection: ready-to-use connecting cable, plug-in, cable length 2.5 m (3 x 0.5 mm²) optionally 25 m (3 x 0.5 mm²)
