The Series 65 Marine Base Mounted Ultraviolet (UV) Flame
Detector is designed to protect indoor areas where open fires may
be expected.
UV flame detectors are designed for use in enclosed spaces and
require a clear line of sight within the area to be protected. They
are unaected by draughts or convection currents.
They are fast acting and respond to a flame more than 25 m away.
Operation
The Series 65 Marine Base Mounted UV Flame Detector is
sensitive to UV radiation emitted by flames during combustion.
Since it requires only UV radiation the detector responds even to
stationary flames with no flicker such as cigarette lighters and
blue gas flames.
The detector is set to respond to UV radiation (180 - 260 nm)
emitted by almost all flames including those invisible to the naked
eye, e.g. hydrogen fires.
The detector has a single UV sensor with a narrow spectral
response in order to discriminate between flames and most
spurious sources of radiation and is designed for use in internal
fully enclosed areas.
CAUTION: The detector will also detect electrical
discharges from lightning or arc welding.
