FDS303 Ultraviolet-Infrared Flame Detector (UVIR)

Technical Description – FDS303 UV/IR 

Designed for hazardous industries where fast fire detection is critical and nuisance alarms are not an option.

The MICROPACK FDS303 UV/IR is an explosion proof Multi Spectrum IR flame detector. The device delivers superior performance, responding to hydrocarbon liquid fuel and gas fires at long distances.
The FDS303 UV/IR has been independently tested to demonstrate it can detect a hydrocarbon fuel pan fire at nearly 128 feet in less than 5 seconds.

A Closer Look

The FDS303 UVIR compliments the FDS series by delivering superior performance in the detection of hydrocarbon fires which are not detectable in the visible spectrum. The FDS303 UV/IR utilises the latest flame detection algorithms to ensure maximum false alarm immunity.
