The FSX family of detectors feature our patented* FirePic data storage and information retrieval

facility. FirePic™ records pre-fire data, which can be recovered from the detector’s non-volatile

flash memory for post fire analysis and determination of the fire cause. Additionally, unique Real

Time Graphing (RTG™) allows viewing of the data which the detector senses in each waveband. A

combination of outputs makes the FSX detectors useful beyond the immediate alarm and help

in both protection and investigation of fire events in today’s demanding industrial requirements.

The FS24X detector has a detection range greater than 60 m (200 feet) (Very High Sensitivity

setting) for the detection of a 0.1 m2 (one square-foot) Heptane reference fire and has a cone of

vision far greater in volumetric coverage than any other Multi-Spectrum IR detector.

This means fewer detectors can be used as compared to other manufacturers’ detectors

FS24X Detector

True triple IR wide band sensing and sophisticated detection algorithms.

FS24X provides wideband Multi-Spectrum Triple IR (IR/IR/IR/Visible) flame detection.

It is part of our FSX family of advanced technology Electro-Optical fire detectors.

Using our patented* WideBand IR™, WideBand 4.3 micron IR™, and Visible detection technology,

the FS24X sets the standard for flame detection.

Sophisticated software algorithms and dual microprocessors ensure that the FS24X

has the highest fire detection performance combined with optimal false alarm rejection.

The WideBand IR™ Infrared technology using high-speed solid-state

Quantum sensors allows detection of all types of fires,

hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon, in all weather conditions.

Dual microprocessors provide a high level of fail-safe operation combined

with fast and reliable performance. The master microprocessor performs

high-speed digital sampling and signal-processing calculations, while

the slave microprocessor handles  various sensor data, performs

communications, self-diagnostics and provides interface versatility and

additional memory for storing Event Log and FirePic™ data.

Conventional and older technology UV/IR detectors, using narrow band

4.3 micron IR sensors, will not always respond to smoky fires or if the

detector lens is contaminated with oil and other substances since both

UV and 4.3 micron signals are attenuated, obscured or absorbed by thick

smoke or detector lens contaminations. All UV sensors will be attenuated to some degree.

Superior Technology Dual microprocessors enable fast and reliable performance.

The master microprocessor performs high-speed digital sampling

and signal processing calculations while the slave microprocessor handles sensor data,

performs communications, self-diagnostics and manages interfaces and memory

for storing event log and FirePic™ data. The FS20X detector has a detection range

in excess of 60 m (200 feet) (very high sensitivity setting) for the detection of a

0.1m2 (one square-foot) Heptane reference fire and has a field of view with a greater volumetric

coverage than most UV/IR detectors.

FS20X Detector

Advanced Multi Spectrum (UV/Dual IR/VIS) Flame Detector.

Based on the foundation of the highly successful and reliable SS4 detector,

the FS20X detector represents a quantum leap in integrating Infrared

and Ultraviolet sensing technologies.

The FS20X detector is a Multi-Spectrum and UV/Dual IR/VIS and flame detector

with a proven UV solar-blind sensor. FS20X delivers a faster response and

fewer false alarms, performs in a wider ambient temperature range,

with a much longer detection range compared to conventional UV/IR detectors.

This means fewer detectors can be used to cover an area as compared to other manufacturers’ detectors.

The FS20X detector using advanced algorithms for signal processing and fire and flame analysis to

alarm to most  fires in all industrial environmental conditions. If the detector’s UV signal is degraded

due to heavy smoke or a contaminated lens, FS20X’s patented WideBand IR™, Near Band IR and

Visible sensors will still alarm to fire, albeit at a reduced sensitivity and slower response time.
