ESP Safety Flame Detectors

Self-contained Fire and Flame Detectors

Designed for the Most Critical Environments

IPES-IR3 Flame Detector

✹✹ Multispectral IR detection provides highest level of flame and fire detection with optimal
rejection of false alarms
✹✹ Power-on self test and frequent sensor self-test ensure system integrity
✹✹ Heated optics & secondary heater function reduces condensation
✹✹ 100° field of view
✹✹ Highly visible tri-color LED status indicator shows current status
✹✹ Available in aluminum or stainless steel enclosure
✹✹ FM Approved for Class I, Div 1 Grps B, C, D
✹✹ SIL-3 Rated with 5-Year Warranty
The Model IPES IR3 Flame Detector affords the best solution for the detection of flames from
combustible gases and vapors across a wide field of view. Advanced technology ensures rapid
response to flame sources while virtually eliminating false alarms from sunlight, arc welding,
resistive heaters, fluorescent, halogen or incandescent light. Independent 4-20mA analog, RS-
485 MODBUS and dry contact relay outputs.

IEPS-IR/UV Flame Detector

✹✹ Combines data from both IR and UV sensors in specific wavelengths to detect fires
from oil, petrochemicals, metals and a wide range of other materials
✹✹ Automatic and manual self-tests ensure system integrity and correct operation
✹✹ Heated optics & secondary heater function help prevent condensation
✹✹ Highly visible LED status indicators
✹✹ 90° field of view
✹✹ Digital, relay contact and analog output
✹✹ FM Approved for Class I, Div 1 Grps B, C, D
✹✹ SIL-3 Rated with 5-Year Warranty
The Model IPES-IR/UV Flame Detector provides superior sensitivity to fires from
oils and petrochemical products, as well as metals and other hazardous materials.
Monitoring UV in the range of 180 to 250 nanometers, and IR in the range of 4.2
to 4.6 microns, the IPES-UV/IR detects and alarms only when recognizing specific
characteristic wavelengths that indicate actual flame or fire. Outputs include 4-20mA
analog, RS-485 MODBUS and dry contact relays. Applications
