SharpEye Flame Detectors operate in the harshest environmental conditions and are self-contained stand-alone devices designed for direct connection to control and alarm systems or automatic fire extinguishing systems.

Products
40/40 Series Flame Detectors

The exciting new range of 40/40 SharpEye detectors offer enhanced reliability and durability with a massive 5-year warranty and an enhanced detection distance.

20/20 Series Flame Detectors

The 20/20 Series Flame Detectors employ IR3, UV/IR, single UV and IR spectral techniques to suit a wide range of flame detection applications. These explosion proof approved (FM / ATEX) detectors are highly resistant.

20/20 Mini Flame Detectors

The 20/20 range also includes Mini IR3 and Mini UV/IR detectors which offer a lower cost, lower power, compact design in a general purpose (non-Ex approved) format. The 20/20MI IR3 is also available.

Accessories

Spectrex provides a range of accessories to ensure that your SharpEye Flame Detectors are installed and operated correctly. 

For approximately four years, we have been working with Northrop Grumman on a Coast Guard Program at the Bollinger Ship Yard to modify existing ships, each engine room being protected by 20/20MI Mini Optical Flame Detectors.

A 15 year old SharpEye 20/20I (IR3) Optical Flame Detector that was installed in a harsh environment was recently returned to Spectrex for inspection and service. The detector was firstly cleaned, and then functionally tested and was in perfect working condition and fit to be returned to service in the field.

Spectrex has upgraded the ATEX and IECEx hazardous area approvals on the complete 40/40 Flame Detector range from gas group IIB+H2 to gas group IIC. No additional testing was needed by the approval body (Sira).

ELECMETAL (Chile), a leading metal parts manufacturer,  installed 60 optical flame detectors type 40/40L to protect its 2 new production facilities where high end alloy metals are produced for the aerospace and mining industries.

Spectrex training center is opening its doors to provide insights on the theory of optical flame detector operation and how to select a specific detector design in order to meet different application, installation practices, maintenance and ordering procedures.
