Flame detectors

Why flame detectors?

Highly sensitive and accurate fire detection is fundamental to maintaining safe working conditions, especially in explosive environments.

Siemens FDF242 and FDF242-EX flame detectors provide sensitive, accurate fire detection for industrial settings allowing you to detect smokeless liquid and gas fires plus smoke-producing open fires, indoors and outdoors.

Siemens’ flame detectors:

Solve the challenge of rapid, precise fire localization.
Utilize robust steel design for durability in harsh conditions.
Enable real-time performance data with cloud-based operations.

Key benefits

Addressability

Advanced addressable fire detection (FDF242-EX) offers pinpoint accuracy, instantly locating threats. This streamlines evacuation and emergency response, boosting safety and efficiency in explosive environments (Zones 0, 1, 2).

High immunity to false alarms

Tri-sensor pyroelectric detectors offer superior sensitivity, rapidly identifying flame IR signatures. They reject false alarms, distinguishing real fires from heat sources for accurate alerts. Faults notify the control panel.

Robust design for industrial applications

Robust flame detectors with steel housings and mountings offer enhanced durability. Suitable for indoor/outdoor use, they withstand tough conditions: sloping/vibrating surfaces, high temperatures, and corrosive atmospheres.

Featured capabilities

Easy installation

Its deep system integration simplifies installation by utilizing loop power and improves reliability with an integrated line separator, enabling uninterrupted operations 24/7.

Highest sensitivity

The flame detectors have integrated user interfaces and 6 parameter sets. Both detectors meet the requirements of the highest fire sensitivity class 1 in accordance with EN 54-10.

Loop-powered

With no extra hardware needed the flame detectors seamlessly integrate into existing safety systems. They can be integrated with current setups without significant re-wiring or system overhaul.

Cloud-based operations

By evaluating the performance data of the detectors in real-time, maintenance issues can be identified and addressed proactively, minimizing downtime and potentially preventing failures.
