The 40/40M Multi IR Flame Detector is specifically designed for detection of hydrocarbon and hydrogen flames. It detects hydrocarbon-based fuel and gas fires at long distances with the highest immunity to false alarms. The 40/40M can detect a gasoline pan fire at 215 ft (65m) or a hydrogen flame at 125 ft (38m) in less than 5 seconds.

The 40/40M is the most durable and weather resistant flame detector currently on the market. Its new features include a heated window, to eliminate condensation and icing; HART capabilities, lower power requirements, and a compact, lighter design.

 

• Multi spectrum design - for long distance detection of hydrocarbons and hydrogen flames
• High false alarm immunity
• Sensitivity selection - to ensure no zone crossover detection
• Automatic and Manual Built-In-Test (BIT) - to assure continued reliable operation
• Heated window - for operation in harsh weather conditions (snow, ice, condensation)
• Multiple output options for maximum flexibility and compatibility
  - Relays (3) for Alarm, Fault and Auxiliary
  - 0-20mA (stepped)
  - HART Protocol for maintenance and asset management
  - RS-485, Modbus Compatible
• High Reliability - MTBF - minimum 150,000 hours
• Approved to Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL2 - TUV)
• 5-Year Warranty
• User Programmable via HART or RS-485
• Hazardous area zones:
  - Zones 1 & 2 with IIC gas group vapors present
  - Zones 21 & 22 with IIIC dust type present
• Ex approved to:
  - ATEX & IECEx
  - FM/FMC/CSA
• 3rd party Performance tested
  - EN54-10 (VdS)
  - FM3260
