FE-16591 SPACE AGE

Product Overview

The FE-16591 is an industrial-grade multi-spectrum UV/IR2 (Ultraviolet / Dual Infrared) flame detector belonging to the specialized Talentum high-performance hazard product line. Optimized for heavy commercial and industrial settings where open fire flashpoints can occur, this standard non-explosion proof assembly features a highly durable housing cast from heavy-duty ZA12 zinc alloy finished in a signature safety blue color. By combining an ultraviolet sensor with two discrete infrared channels, the device tracks low-frequency flicker (1 to 15 Hz) while confirming a threat only when both UV and dual-IR signatures align. This multi-spectrum verification loop renders the device completely solar blind, filtering out false alarm variables like pulsating sunlight, reflections, arc welding, and lightning. The robust unit accurately tracks yellow hydrocarbon flames and invisible non-hydrocarbon fires (such as hydrogen) even when its front viewing window is subjected to localized drafts, convection currents, or dust layers.
