Combined Explosion and High Sensitivity Flame Detector

The SharpEye™ 40/40UFL is a highspeed UV/IR optical flame detector, which was created to quickly and effectively meet two main requirements: High speed response (20 msec to a flash fire) and high reliability with limited susceptability to false alarms.

All-Weather Capable

The 40/40UFL comes with features designed to withstand all kinds of weather and temperature fluctuations. This includes a heated window against snow, ice and condensation, a rugged, compact outer housing and a MTBF minimum of 150,000 hours.

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 safetyrelated systems will offer necessary risk reduction. The SharpEye™ 40/40 flame detector series is highly reliable and complies with the IEC 61508 Safety Integrity Requirements of SIL2.

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.

Count On An Expert

The UV/IR flame detector senses radiant energy in the short wave section of both the ultraviolet and infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The signals from both sensors are then analysed for frequency, intensity and duration. The simultaneous detection of radiant energy in both the UV and IR sensors then triggers the alarm.

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.

Simple installation and commissioning

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