The New Generation of Fire Sentry Flame Detectors


See IFP article Fire Sentry Corporation is pleased to announce a new generation of Multi-Spectrum radiant energy fire and flame FSX detectors including the new FS24X QuadBand Triple IR and FS18X TriBand Dual IR detectors. The new detectors were designed utilizing Fire Sentry's patented WideBand IR technology. To read this article, see The New Generation of Fire Sentry Flame Detectors, published in International Fire Protection (IFP), Issue 32 - November 2007.


Superior Fire / Flame Detection Technology


Fire Sentry Corporation continues its long tradition in utilizing superior and innovative technology with the creation, design, development, testing, and manufacturing of all its fire detection products which are designed to provide the fastest response to all types of fires without false alarms over the widest fields of view in all environmental conditions. Fire Sentry Corporation has been the technological leader in electro-optical fire and flame detection for over a quarter of century and continues to capitalize on the military/aerospace electro-optical detection background of its engineers. Our thousands of installed fire detection products continue to perform as advertised in a myriad of applications worldwide. For more information, see Superior Fire / Flame Technology.


Fire / Flame Detector Comparison


Fire Sentry Corporation has now designed, tested, completed FactoryMutual tests for approval, and now manufacturing the advanced, state-of-the-art high technology FS24X and FS18X fire detection products that meets or exceeds worldwide fire detection specifications with competitive pricing and fast delivery times. These FSX products also provide the best performance with the highest reliability and durability with impressive features and benefits. These new FSX detectors have the highest environmental ruggedness, widest temperature operating range,and highest military-grade quality. For more information, see the Detector Comparison Chart.



Visual Smoke Detection - FM Approved


Industry is unrelenting in the demand for fire detection products that respond quickly to potential fire conditions without generating unwanted or nuisance alarms. The VSD-8 System utilizes security CCTV cameras to view large areas where detection is required. Detection time is significantly faster than traditional smoke and heat detectors, especially where it is difficult to locate detectors close to the fire source.

The VSD-8 System is a world first in providing very early warning of fire at the incipient stage, using state of the art image processing technology. This technology has been subjected to rigorous scrutiny by many industries including the Nuclear Power, Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Industries. The VSD-8 System uses video cameras linked to a self-contained central processing system that detects and alarms to small amounts of smoke within the video image. Highly complex algorithms process video information for up to eight cameras simultaneously. The system can be configured to vary the quantity of smoke and the length of time that the smoke exists before an alarm condition is enabled. This allows for conditions where background smoke or steam may be present. A single system can be configured for up to 80 zones of detection. Since CCTV cameras can see through glass, the VSD-8 System can safely detect fires in hazardous areas such as radioactive, explosive, corrosive and extreme weather environments.

The VSD-8 System is the most flexible and reliable of all automatic smoke detection systems providing the fastest response to smoke with complete false alarm immunity.
