Compact detector provides rapid flame detection
InfraTec
Ongoing advances in infrared detectors have allowed for the production of increasingly smaller, more-complex fire-fighting components. The new Pyromid LRM 244 detector (photo) is a pyroelectric detector that combines four channels in one housing (15.2 mm dia.). An aperture window of 8.5-by-8.5 mm 2 is integrated within the cap of the housing. The detector’s large, symmetrical field of view (>90 deg) allows flames to be detected within the greatest possible angular range with an ideal signal-to-noise ratio, says the company. — InfraTec GmbH, Dresden, Germany
