IPES-IR3 Multi-Spectral Flame Detector

The state-of-the-art multi-spectral infrared technology of ESP Safety's Model IPES-IR3 Flame

Detector affords the highest sensitivity in detecting ?ames from combustible vapors gases within

a wide ?eld of view. It is preferred where UV in other detectors may be a problem with false

signal triggers.

IPES-IR3's advanced detection technology ensures rapid ?ame recognition and alarm

signaling. In addition, IPES-IR3's selective, multi-spectral technology virtually eliminates false

alarms. It ignores false triggers from sources such as direct or indirect sunlight, arc welder ?ash,

resistive heaters, ?uorescent, halogen, and incandescent light.

IPES-IR3 sends an alarm only when data from three different IR wavelengths agree that a ?ame

or ?re is present in the ?eld of view. Upon con?rmation of ?ame or ?re, the IPES-IR3 transfers

alarm signals to receiving control devices located in control and operations rooms and to ?re

alarms and burglar/?re alarm systems. While operating, the IPES-IR3 transmits detector-status

information via:

4-20 mA analog output

A standard RS-485 communication channel under protocol Madbus RTU

Relay outputs

The IPES-IR3 Flame Detector is constructed with an explosion-proof housing for use in

hazardous (classi?ed) locatios. It meets the certi?cations and requirements of Class I, Division 1, Group B, C & D, T4
