Detecting the occurrence of the fireball at its incipient stage, when size and energy emitted by it are small enough to be controlled by suppression, is a critical factor in automatic fire protection systems. An electro-optical sensor is the quickest means to identify a fire. A special UV/IR combination provides greater sensitivity and higher speed of response while providing a high immunity to false alarms.  IR3 optical detectors are suitable for use in the engine compartment of military vehicles as well as for fire detection outside the vehicle.

Heat detectors that are normally slower in response to fire are used in constricted areas where optical detectors cone of vision is obstructed and in areas where optical detectors maybe blinded by dirt and radiation absorbing materials. Spot heat detectors are selected for local heat sensing in remote points and Linear heat detectors are selected for area heat sensing over a predetermined distance.
