Optical Flame Detectors

What is the Oldham Simtronics TLU600?The Oldham Simtronics TLU600 is: IS Infra Red Remote Control Unit with batteries charger (US/UK/AU adapters. The MultiFlame DF-TV7 is an optical flame detector for hydrocarbon fires, designed around minimising false alarms and fitted with an intelligent optical self-test. The family has two detection technologies: the DF-TV7-T reads three separate infrared wavelengths and detects hydrocarbon fires up to 80 metres away, and the DF-TV7-V combines ultraviolet with double infrared for higher immunity to false alarms and a shorter response time, detecting hydrocarbon fires up to 45 metres away. The detector connects directly to conventional fire controllers or to a PLC, and a DF-RV7 variant exists for the addressable SYNTEL network. Configuration, including time delay, sensitivity and output behaviour, is done with the TLU600 hazardous area remote terminal or over HART with a TLH710 or TLH720.About the MultiFlame DF-TV7 Flame Detectors lineThis part is an accessory for the MultiFlame DF-TV7 Flame Detectors line. The specification below describes the detectors it is used with, not the accessory itself.Detection technologies: triple infrared (DF-TV7-T) and ultraviolet with double infrared (DF-TV7-V)Detection distance: up to 80 m for the triple IR version, up to 45 m for the UV/2IR versionField of view up to 120 degrees, per the vendor product overviewOutputs: 4-20 mA, relays, HART as an option, and LonWorks for the SYNTEL systemPower supply 24 V DC (18 to 35 V DC on DF-T#7 versions, 18 to 30 V DC on DF-R#7)Typical power consumption 1.4 W for IR3 and 1.5 W for UV2IR, 5 W maximumOperating and storage temperature: -40 C to +65 CHumidity 95% RH non condensing, protection rating IP66Explosion proof housing in 316 L stainless steel, weight 5.1 kgPerformance certified to EN 54-10/A1, RFI and EMI to EN 50130-4, SIL 2 capableWhat should you check before ordering?The two technologies in this family are not interchangeable and the difference is measurable rather than a matter of preference: the triple IR version reaches 80 metres and is aimed at smoky hydrocarbon fires that are hard to see optically, while the UV/2IR version trades reach for speed and false alarm immunity and reaches 45 metres. Published MTBF also separates them, at 172,000 hours for the DF-TV7-T against 115,000 hours for the DF-TV7-V. One exception is worth catching at specification time: the manual states that reference DF-V7-XT0-0-0-0---1 is neither EN 54-10 compliant nor SIL compliant, so a site with an EN 54-10 requirement cannot take that particular reference.How do the part numbers differ?Part numbers separate the detection technology (XT for triple infrared, XV for ultraviolet with double infrared), the range (A standard, B long), the output (C configurable, H HART, L LON for the SYNTEL network), and the DF-RV7 prefix marks the addressable SYNTEL variant. Published detection distances are test figures: sensitivity in the field also depends on fuel type, fire size, atmospheric conditions such as wind, rain and fog, and the angle between the fire and the detector.Where is it used?Typical service: Refineries and chemical plants; Drilling and production platforms, and FPSO vessels; Fuel loading facilities and compressor stations; LNG and LPG processing and storage; Gas turbines and aircraft hangars; Stadia and gymnasia.How do I order or get a quote?PE Energy supplies the Oldham Simtronics TLU600 on a quote basis: send the part number with your application details and we return pricing and lead time. Fixed gas and flame detection is quoted rather than listed because most references ship configured for target gas, range, approval scope and cable entry, and those choices are fixed at the part number. This part belongs to the same product line as the MultiFlame DF-TV7 optical flame detector line already in our catalogue.

With its lightweight housing and low power consumption, the 20/20MPI provides a cost effective solution, specially suited to indoor applications such as transport terminals, storage areas, industrial kitchens and historical and cultural sites with large open areas, providing an efficient alternative smoke and heat detectors often prove to be ineffective. The 20/20MPI is a compact, lightweight, high performance IR3 detector with a new design for retail use based on industrially proven IR3 technology. The 20/20MPI retains all the benefits of IR3 technology, including long distance detection and the highest immunity to false alarms. Main Features Long distance Flame Detection (up to 140ft / 43m) Large Field of View (100° horizontal / 90° vertical) Highest immunity to false alarms Output options (two models): – Alarm and Fault relay outputs (4 wire) or – Stepped mA output (3 wire source) RS-485 Modbus Compatible Automatic and Manual Built-In-Test (BIT) 3 Year Warranty Applications AIRPORT TERMINALS Airport terminals situated in dense cities often have large halls, accompanied by retail, food and beverage outlets, each with their fire risks, which don’t have full fire protection coverage. With the structure’s size and complex design, fires are often difficult to detect and larger fires are less common due to the large air intake. TRAIN STATIONS AND TERMINALS Train stations and terminals often have large atria containing food and beverage outlets which have large air intake and often have little fire protection coverage. Additionally, within these areas, electricity and fuel are present, increasing the chances of ignition. STORAGE AREAS A wide range of substances are stored within open or closed storage facilities, part of which can be dangerous or flammable, creating a greater fire hazard than usual. ARCHIVES A large amount of paper work collecting dust poses potential fire hazards that require monitoring. MALLS With over 1,000 fire events taking place annually within the retail industry, it is imperative that the large open areas with high ceilings found in shopping malls have full fire protection coverage in order to avoid damage to assets and personnel. HOSPITALS Hospitals consist of large open spaces and confined rooms, all of which contain a wide variety of contents that pose hazards. Cooking and heating equipment, as well as electrical distribution, lighting and medical equipment such as oxygen tanks are found throughout hospital buildings and are all potential fire risks which should be protected against. CAR PARKING TOWERS AND GARAGES Areas intended for vehicle storage or maintenance contain large amounts of fuel and fumes within an enclosed space, posing a fire hazard that must be monitored. PUBLIC BUILDINGS Public buildings often house governmental offices and more, requiring excellent fire protection in order to prevent damage to assets and personnel in any potential fire. BANKS AND OFFICES Banks and offices face common fire hazards with large open areas, coupled with large amounts of paperwork and a large volume of people constantly passing through. HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL SITES Historical, cultural or national sites often contain irreplaceable assets, alongside flammable materials. A fire within these areas which were not designed with safety in mind would cause irreversible damage. AIRCRAFT HANGARS Large open floor areas with high roofs provide a suitable area for aircraft storage and repair. However, the large quantities of liquid jet fuel and risk of spill, coupled with maintenance activities provide potential ignition sources which is complicated by aircraft wing obstructions. CABLE TUNNELS Cable tunnels play an essential role in every industrial company. Any fire damage to the cables puts entire production areas out of action. As the cable tunnel environment deteriorates with time, cable insulation performance decreases, leaving an increased heating value and greater risk of tunnel fires and detection of these fires is essential in order to prevent further damage.
