1.0 Introduction
Introduction
The IPES‐IR3 flame detector’s advanced microprocessor based technology ensures rapid flame recognition and alarm
signaling. In addition, the IPES‐IR3’s selective, multiple spectrum technology virtually eliminates false alarms from a
variety of sources including:
● Direct or indirect sunlight
● Arc welder flash, resistive heaters
● Fluorescent, halogen
● Incandescent light
● Nuclear radiation
The IPES‐IR3 generates an alarm signal only when detection from three different IR wavelengths agree that a flame or
fire is present in the field of view. Upon confirmation of flame or fire, the IPES‐IR3 triggers alarm relays and provides
alarm signals via RS‐485 Modbus and industry standard +4 to 20mA current loop to the users’ receiving devices and
alarm systems.
For ease of operation status and alarm condition the IPES‐IR3 provides an easily visible high illumination Tri State LED
that follows an Industry Standard protocol:
● Green for normal operation
● Yellow for fault condition
● Red for alarm Conditions
The IPES‐IR3 provides superior false alarm processing making it the detector of choice. Alarms occur instantly after our
proprietary False‐Positive Algorithm determines possible alarm states. This makes IPES‐IR3 the industry standard for
several industrial applications:
