Detector Electronics Corporation - Optical Flame and Combustible and Toxic Gas Detection Systems

Detector Electronics Corporation is the world leader in optical flame and combustible and toxic gas detection systems, with premier products setting the standard in our industry. In addition to manufacturing equipment, we also offer complete turnkey solutions for fire and gas detection and suppression/mitigation systems and ESD solutions.

When it comes to safety, Det-Tronics has a 30-year legacy of protecting high hazard applications ranging from offshore oil platforms to thousands of miles of gas pipelines, and from the B-2 bomber to token booths in New York City's subway system.

OPTICAL FLAME DETECTORS AND GAS SENSORS

Det-Tronics is unique in manufacturing both flame and gas sensors in-house, thereby controlling specifications to exacting requirements. Our optical flame detectors offer true optical integrity combined with the highest false alarm rejection rate, while our wide range of gas detection products meets your needs for detecting combustible and toxic gases in any application. Det-Tronics integrated flame, gas and fire suppression systems range from conventional, addressable and custom combination systems to state-of-the-art, highly fault tolerant and configurable detection and releasing systems.

PointWatch Eclipse IR GAS DETECTOR

The PIRECL PointWatch Eclipse infrared combustible gas detector delivers exceptional flammable hydrocarbon vapor detection in lower explosive limit (LEL) range and is ideally suited for on and offshore oil and gas facilities. Unique features include stainless steel construction for maximum strength and new multi-layer optics protection weather baffle for unequalled protection in harsh environments.

Delivering better than 90% availability, the Eclipse has sapphire-coated optics for industrial grade hardness and an integral wiring termination compartment that removes the need for extra wiring/termination boxes. It also offers superior communications versatility including 4-24mA analog, Hart and RS-485 Modbus outputs and hand-held communicator option.

All this and more from a detector that delivers no undisclosed failures, does not require routine calibration like other combustible gas detection technologies, with significant resultant savings, and even comes with a five year product warranty!

NEW FLAME DETECTION PRODUCT LINE WITH WORLD APPROVALS

Detector Electronics Corporation announces new multispectrum infrared, ultraviolet infrared, ultraviolet, and infrared flame detectors that are certified ATEX, and approved to Factory Mutual's FM3260-2000 flame performance standard.

The flame detectors all include new performance and false alarm rejection capabilities exceeding other existing detectors. The detectors include an event-monitoring data logging feature combined with a modbus RS485 protocol for data extraction. The detector also builds on the time tested optical integrity feature with a magnetically activated test function, making test torches or lamps obsolete. Infrared sensors incorporate heated optics, which are now microprocessor controlled and designed to melt any ice which is blinding to the detector.

The complete flame product line incorporates two alarm relays, and one fault relay with isolated or non-isolated 4-20mA outputs, a pulse output or the Eagle Quantum premier communication output. The new pulse output permits the replacement of detectors connected to older controller based systems to be upgraded to today's breakthrough technology.

THE EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER FIRE AND GAS DETECTION / RELEASING SYSTEM

Serving multiple roles in the monitoring and protection of hazardous areas, the EQP addressable system integrates fire and gas detection and extinguishing agent release on a fault tolerant digital communications network. Base system support for up to 60 addressable field devices is scaleable up to 244 devices and base LON length of 2,000m can be extended up to 10,000m.

Offering deluge and pre-action release capability for fire suppression in addition to extinguishant release, the system has built-in diagnostics and programmable logic. As well as new EQP detectors, it is compatible both with Det-Tronics flame and gas products and a variety of third-party devices. Modbus RTU Master/Slave and Allen Bradley DF-1 communication capability is provided.
