ProDetec supplies visual flame detector solutions for Australia’s aircraft hangars, LNG terminals, large process facilities, tunnels, and complex industrial environments where conventional UV, IR, or UV/IR spectral flame detection technologies face coverage or performance limitations.Â
A visual flame detector uses intelligent video image processing to identify the characteristic visual properties of a flame, including flicker frequency, shape, colour and spatial behaviour, analysing live footage through on-board algorithms to distinguish genuine fire events from false alarm sources such as reflections, moving lights, and background radiation.
ProDetec’s primary visual flame detection instrument is the Micropack FDS300 and FDS301 both explosion-proof intelligent visual flame detectors. It processes live video images using flame detection algorithms and digital signal processing, delivering wide-area coverage from a single device with SIL 2 capability and compatibility with a broad range of fire panels, controllers and PLCs. Where a single UV/IR detector covers a defined cone of vision, visual flame detection extends coverage across large, complex spaces with fewer installed devices and greater adaptability to mixed fuel environments.
With over 22 years of experience and local engineering support across Australia, ProDetec supplies, commissions, and supports visual flame detector solutions tailored to each site’s specific layout, hazard profile, and compliance requirements.
