Your Challenge:
Protecting Your Site Without Costly Disruptions

Your challenge is protecting a high-risk area where conventional detectors are unreliable.
False alarms from sources like sunlight, welding, or lightning cause costly downtime and reduce trust in your safety systems.
You need a solution that can intelligently distinguish a real fire from false stimuli, every time.

The Talentum IR2 flame detector solves this by using advanced flame-sensing technology to accurately identify real flames
while rejecting false alarm sources.

Technical Details:

Advanced Dual-IR Sensing Technology

The Talentum 16000 IR2 detects the infrared (IR) radiation emitted during combustion. The detector analyses the signals from both sensors, looking for the specific flicker frequency and spectral signature that characterises a genuine flame. This dual-sensor approach ensures the detector can distinguish between a real fire and misleading radiation sources, providing a reliable and accurate early warning system.

Broad Fuel Source Detection

A key advantage of this specialist detection method is its ability to identify flames from a wide variety of fuel sources. This includes hydrocarbon fires, such as those involving oil and gas, as well as inorganic fires. Because it does not rely on smoke to trigger an alarm, the Talentum IR2 flame detector is perfectly suited for open areas or environments with high airflow, where smoke may be dispersed before it can reach a smoke detector.

Built for Industrial Environments

Built for durability, the detector is housed in a robust enclosure ensuring protection against dust and water ingress in demanding industrial conditions. Its low power consumption and versatile output options, including conventional 2-wire, 4-20mA, and relay contacts, allow for seamless integration into both existing fire alarm systems and process control networks, making it a flexible solution for specialist flame detection.

Your Questions, Answered

Find answers to common questions about the Talentum 16000 IR2 flame detector.

How does the Talentum IR2 prevent false alarms?

The detector uses two IR sensors that analyse the wavelength and flicker frequency of radiation from a fire. For an alarm to be triggered, the signals must match the characteristics of a real flame, allowing the detector to ignore false sources like sunlight or welding arcs.

What is the main difference between an IR2 and an IR3 flame detector?

An IR2 detector uses two infrared sensors, making it highly effective and immune to many false sources. An IR3 detector uses three sensors, providing an even higher degree of false alarm immunity, particularly from hot surfaces, making it suitable for more complex environments.

Can the Talentum IR2 detect fires with no visible flame?

Yes. The Talentum IR2 is specifically designed to detect the infrared radiation from a fire, not visible light. This makes it highly effective for detecting invisible flames.

What kind of environments is the Talentum IR2 suitable for?

It is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications, including aircraft hangars, waste handling facilities, printing works, spray booths, and any area where flammable liquids or gases create a high fire risk.

Does the detector require regular maintenance?

The detector features an optical self-test function to verify its operation. We recommend regular visual inspections to ensure the viewing window is clean and unobstructed, in line with local codes of practice.
