Spectrex SharpEye 20/20-MI IR3 Non-Atex Flame Detector
The Spectrex SharpEye 20/20-MI is a high performance and high reliable Non-EX IR3 flame detector available in a stainless steel housing.
This flame detector is one of our top sellers because it combines performance with affordability and therefore offers great value for money.
The Spectrex SharpEye 20/20-MI is EN-54-10, DNV and FM performance approved.
The Spectrex SharpEye 20/20-MI offers one of the highest false alarm immunities in the non-EX range of flame detectors while being capable of detecting hydrocarbon fuel and gas fires up to 40 meters distance. This performance is achieved by placing all infra-red sensors in the invisible spectrum of a fire at the 4-5 micron band. With FM performance approvals on more than 10 substances this flame detector is keeping a SharpEye on your safety in many application!
At the heart of the Spectrex SharpEye 20/20-MI lies the remarkable Triple IR technology. Unlike conventional flame detectors that use single or dual-wavelength IR or UV or UV/IR sensors, this system integrates three infrared sensors, which enable it to detect fires with unparalleled precision and sensitivity. By zooming in on the 4-5 micron spectral band, the detector optimises its response to the characteristic emissions of various hydrocarbon-based fires, in particular hot CO2 in the 4.3 micron band.
Based on its technology, design, reliability and performance, the Spectrex SharpEye 20/20-MI has become the preferred flame detector for applications like waste handling facilities, offshore substations, machinery spaces, conveyor belt protection, aircraft hangars and many others.

Performance
One of the most impressive aspects of the Spectrex SharpEye 20/20-MI is its remarkable detection range. It boasts the capability to identify a n-heptane fire measuring just 30 x 30cm (0.1m2) from a staggering distance of 40 meters. This remarkable reach ensures that fires can be identified at an early stage, empowering swift responses and mitigating potential hazards before they escalate into catastrophic events.
Furthermore, the ease of installation is a key advantage that sets the Spectrex SharpEye 20/20-MI apart from traditional fire detection systems. With a pre-installed 2-meter cable, the unit can be seamlessly integrated into various environments, minimizing setup time and effort. Whether in light-industrial facilities, commercial spaces, or critical infrastructure, this plug-and-play installation process facilitates quick deployment and immediate protection.
