Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection (Teledyne GFD) has launched the Spyglass Xtend triple-infrared flame detector, designed to revolutionize safety in industrial environments by simultaneously detecting both hydrogen and hydrocarbon fires. Traditional hydrogen detectors are limited in detecting hydrocarbon flames, which can pose a significant risk in dense industrial settings where fires can easily spread. The Spyglass Xtend's innovative triple-infrared technology and unique algorithm address this gap, ensuring comprehensive detection capabilities for both types of flames. One key feature of the Spyglass Xtend is its ability to eliminate false alarms caused by factors like sun glare or heavy rain, thanks to the advanced triple-infrared technology. This guarantees reliable performance even in challenging outdoor conditions. Additionally, the detector is equipped with heated optics to prevent condensation and frosting, maintaining clear vision at all times. The product offers various universal current outputs, including analogue 4-20 mA, sink or source, alarm and fault, catering to diverse user requirements. Moreover, users have the option of adding HD video monitoring for real-time surveillance and post-incident analysis, enhancing overall safety measures. Régis Prévost, the product line manager at Teledyne GFD, highlighted the significant advantages of the Spyglass Xtend, such as extended detection ranges and faster response times compared to previous technologies. The detector's performance in detecting hydrogen and hydrocarbon flames matches that of the existing Spyglass IR3-H2, a specialized hydrogen flame detector by the company. Overall, the Spyglass Xtend not only improves worker and asset protection through its advanced detection capabilities but also meets stringent safety standards with certifications like Safety Integrity Level (SIL 2), ATEX, IECEX, and usFMc. This comprehensive solution aims to minimize damage, enhance preventive maintenance strategies, and ensure a high level of safety in industrial environments.
