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: Material Description Time to Detection RS41 Incendiary Composition 2-5 msec. M206 IR Flare Composition 3-4 msec. M14 Propellant 12-41 msec.
