Spectrex 40/40R Single IR Flame Detector – ATEX & IECEx Zone 1 Hazardous Area & SIL2

Product Overview

Hazardous Area | ATEX Certified

Spectrex flame detectors are trusted and specified throughout the UK and international hazardous area industries to provide reliable flame detection in potentially explosive atmospheres according to IECEx and ATEX (Zone 1 & Zone 2).

The Spectrex 40/40R is a single IR flame detector, manufactured by Spectrex, detects hydrocarbon-based fuel gas fires using advanced flame analysis tool. The 40/40R provides early warning of flaming fires working at 4.5 µm for maximum sensitivity, and immunity to false alarms from IR sources such as sunlight and IR projectors.

Spectrex 40/40R has new features including heated window, to eliminate condensation and icing; HART capabilities for digital communications; lower power requirements; and a compact, lighter design.

The 40/40R flame detector is weather resistant, highly dependable and SIL2 (TUV) approved to IEC 61508 due to increased reliability the flame detector now has a warranty period of 5 years.

Emerson Process Management Acquisition With Spectrex

In 2015 Spectrex were acquired by Emerson Process Management. The acquisition has strengthened Emerson’s product offering as they now have a comprehensive line of flame, gas and ultrasonic leak detector solutions used for safety monitoring in the industry.

Flame, Heat, Gas Detectors & Detection Systems

Hazardous area industries including offshore oil/gas platforms and FPSOs, onshore oil refineries, processing plants, pipelines, storage farms and LPG/LNG plants all utilise or produce a wide range of hazardous flammable liquids and gases that can be detected using correctly specified flame and gas detectors.

Detecting toxic and flammable gases requires the detectors to be classified and certified according to the specific IECEx or ATEX standard – we distribute flame detectors manufactured by Spectrex to operate in the harshest environmental conditions including self-contained stand-alone devices designed for direct connection to control and alarm systems or automatic fire extinguishing systems.

Our range of Hazardous Area Fire & Gas Detection System products also includes Explosion Proof Warning Systems – comprehensive range of intrinsically safe, flameproof and explosion proof alarm sounders, sirens, bells and horns, loudspeakers and beacons.
