Viking VSF303 Multi-Spectrum IR Flame Detector
The Viking VSF303 is an explosion-proof multi-spectrum IR flame detector. The device delivers superior performance, responding to hydrocarbon liquid fuel and gas fires at long distances. The VSF303 has been tested by Factory Mutual (FM) to detect a hydrocarbon fuel pan fire at 60 m (~ 200 feet) within 5 seconds.
Features
• Comprehensive design and support services provided by Viking Integrated Safety
• Multi-spectrum IR design delivers long detection distances and enhanced false alarm immunity
• Continuous optical test, without a reflector, verifies operation and improves device up-time
• Microprocessor controlled heated-optics maintains operation in harsh weather conditions (snow, ice, condensation)
• International hazardous area approvals: FM / ATEX / IEC Ex
• Certified performance testing to multiple fuels to FM 3260 and EN 54-10
• Adjustable sensitivity levels, for application flexibility and to ensure detectors do not cross vote
• External testing with a long-range flame simulator minimizes the need for scaffolding
• Easy integration using industry-standard outputs: Alarm and Fault Relays; 0-20mA; HART as standard
• Certified SIL 2 capable
• 5-year warranty
