FE-16549 SPACE AGE

Product Overview

The FE-16549 is an industrial flameproof (Ex d) triple infrared (IR3) multi-spectrum flame detector belonging to the specialized Talentum high-performance hazard product line. Specifically engineered for highly corrosive marine, chemical, or heavy industrial environments, this model replaces the standard alloy construction with a rugged, natural-finish 316 Stainless Steel explosion-proof enclosure. Operating continuously within a thermal window of -20 degrees C to +60 degrees C, the device utilizes three discrete optical sensors targeting independent infrared wavelengths. It isolates the low-frequency flicker (1 to 15 Hz) characteristic of active combustion to eliminate false alarms caused by shimmering sunlight, arc welding, or industrial glare. The robust 13.23 lbs stainless steel assembly accurately tracks both yellow hydrocarbon fires and completely non-visible hydrogen emissions, even when its viewing lens is heavily compromised by accumulations of industrial oil, grime, vapor, or ice frosting.

Key Features

• 316 Stainless Steel Housing: Cast in premium, natural-finish 316 stainless steel to provide extreme corrosion defense in offshore marine and chemical applications.
• Explosion-Proof Certification Matrix: Formally rated for Class I, Div. 1 (Groups A-D) and Class II/III, Div. 1 (Groups E-G) hazardous configurations.
• Multi-Spectrum True Discrimination: Employs triple independent IR sensors to filter out intense external false-alarm variables.
• Invisible Gas Fuel Tracking: Rapidly identifies visible hydrocarbon combustion alongside clear, non-visible gas fires like hydrogen.
• Triple Pre-Threaded Cable Inlets: Outfitted with 3 x 0.79 inch (20 mm) entryways to support robust, sealed explosion-proof conduit networks.
• Substantial Structural Profile: Measures 5.91 inches x 5.75 inches x 5.39 inches with a solid physical weight of 13.23 lbs.
