Product catalog summary
Overview: The 20/20M Mini Series Flame Detectors are high-performance, cost-effective flame detectors available in IR3 and UV/IR models. They are designed for both indoor and outdoor use, offering resistance to harsh environments and immunity to false alarms. The detectors are compact, lightweight, and housed in rugged stainless steel enclosures.
Specifications: The detectors feature a large field of view (100° horizontal/vertical), low power consumption, high-speed response, and compatibility with RS-485 Modbus. They have a minimum MTBF of 100,000 hours and come with a 3-year warranty. The operating temperature range is -40°F to 160°F, and they can handle humidity up to 95%.
Models:
  • 20/20MI-1: A Triple IR (IR3) Flame Detector with high immunity to false alarms, available in general-purpose or intrinsically safe formats.
  • 20/20MI-3: Similar to the 20/20MI-1 but with lower sensitivity, suitable for small areas requiring fast detection.
  • 20/20ML: A UV/IR Flame Detector that detects various types of fires, including hydrocarbon-based and metal fires, with a range of up to 50 ft.
Main Features: The detectors are immune to false alarms, have a standard 4-wire connection, and offer user-programmable functions. They support automatic and manual built-in tests.
Applications: The detectors are suitable for various applications, including aircraft hangars, heavy-duty vehicles, office and atrium areas, waste handling, unmanned gas stations, and marine vessel engine rooms. They are also used in automotive parts manufacturing, chemical industries, nuclear power plants, and more.
Detection Range: The detection range varies by model and substance, with the 20/20MI-1 having the highest sensitivity for substances like gasoline and diesel fuel.
Electrical Specifications: The detectors operate on 18-32 VDC with varying power consumption based on the model and state (stand-by or alarm). They are equipped with RS-485 communication links and are compatible with computerized controllers.
Approvals: The detectors have various approvals, including ATEX, FM, VdS, and others, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
Accessories: Available accessories include rain covers, laser aimers, air shields, long-range fire simulators, and tilt mounts to enhance installation and functionality.

M “Mini” FLAME DETECTOR Series Main Applications Aircraft Hangars Leaking fuel is the main danger in aircraft hangars, easily causing fires and potentially harming personnel, equipment and facilities. The SharpEye Mini Optical Flame Detectors allow military and commercial requirements for reliable fire protection to be met. Due to the 100º cone of vision, there is wider coverage of the protected area. The area around the walls of the hangar where the detectors are mounted does not require EX proof so the 20/20MI non EX is suitable. Off Road Heavy Duty Vehicle Large mining vehicles are vulnerable...

SharpEye BO/BUM "MINI" FLAME DETECTOR SERIES Main Applications Modern automobile fueling areas are designed with high-speed self-service pumps, enabling customers to fuel their vehicles fast, but more susceptible to fire. Risks can include customers forgetting to return the nozzle, burning cigarettes, running engines, sparks and other heat sources, whereby flammable liquids can be easily ignited. The 20/20ML was designed to prevent any such hazards from spreading, combining UV and IR sensors to detect hydrocarbon-based fuel and gas fires, hydroxyl and hydrogen fires, as well as metal and inorganic...
