Broad-spectrum UV/IR fire detection
The SharpEye 40/40C-LB is designed to detect a wide range of fire types using integrated UV and IR optical sensing. In addition to hydrocarbon fuel and gas fires, it can detect hydrogen, hydroxyl, metal and inorganic fires, making it suitable for complex industrial sites where multiple ignition sources may exist.
Reliable response with strong false alarm immunity
With fast response under five seconds, the 40/40C-LB provides timely fire detection while maintaining strong immunity to nuisance alarms. Its dual spectrum design supports accurate flame recognition in challenging environments where non-flame radiation can interfere with standard detection methods.
Built for harsh industrial environments
Engineered for operation from minus 40 C to plus 75 C, the 40/40C-LB includes heated optics, continuous built in testing and internal event logging to support reliable long-term performance. With worldwide hazardous area approvals and SIL3 compatibility, it is well suited to safety critical applications across heavy industry.
