20/20F
UV/IR High-Speed Flame Detector
The SharpEye UV/IR HighSpeed Optical Flame
Detector (20/20F) is the
new derivative of our wellknown military detector
used in Armored Vehicle
Explosion Suppression System
(The SAFE System).
This flame detector is designed to meet two
important requirements:
• fast response time (less than 5 milliseconds)
• high reliability (immune to false alarms)
Over 20,000 of these flame detectors have been
protecting armored vehicles and other military
applications, with proven performance, durability
and reliability, over the past 10 years.
The 20/20F Flame Detector is an industrial version
of the military detector that is housed in an
Explosion Proof (EX) housing, and is produced
and tested to the highest standards of performance.
The detector is sensitive to radiation in two
frequency ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum:
the infra red (IR) and the ultraviolet (UV). Only
simultaneous sensing within these two ranges of
radiation will result in a detector output pulse.
The ultra high-speed detector has been tested by the US Air Force Fire Research Laboratory at Tyndall
A/F Base and the following test results have been recorded:
