The 40/40R Single IR Flame Detector detects hydrocarbon-based fuel and gas fires using advanced flame analysis tools. The detector provides early warning of flaming fires working at 4.5 μm for maximum sensitivity, and immunity to false alarms from IR sources such as sunlight and IR projectors.

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