Many industries have the potential to be affected by dust explosions. The processing of foodstuffs, natural fibres, metals and even electronic components can all generate dusts capable of exploding if they are mixed with air in the right proportions inside a vessel or duct. The same processing equipment can also generate sparks due to dry bearings, faulty machinery or a...
Placing Flame Detectors behind glass either to protect them or for convenience may seem like a good idea. If you have a factory where there is a spray booth for example, you think you may be able to protect the risk by either placing the Flame Detector in an office with the Flame Detector pointing through a window at the...
The Fireray 3000 ExD is an End to End Beam detector which is designed to be used in a Hazardous Area (Zone 1 and Zone 2). Zone 1 is defined as: ‘An area where ignitable concentrations of flammable Gasses, Vapours or Liquids are likely to exist under normal operating conditions’.
The biggest rival technology to Optical Beam Smoke Detectors for detecting smoke/fires in warehouses & large open areas is the Aspirating Smoke Detector (ASD). While ASD is very sensitive in comms rooms and data centres (for which they were originally developed) in the warehouse and in wide open areas, this advantage is lost when compared to Beam Detection.

FFE make an Exd End to End Beam Smoke Detector, Fireray 3000 and Exd versions of the Talentum Flame Detector, IR2, IR3 and UV/IR2. All Exd detectors are designed to be used in what are termed as ‘Hazardous Areas’ (Zone 1) and as such, must be installed as per the guidelines for such areas. Here is some additional information to...
Whilst the IR2 and IR3 types of Flame Detector can still work with contamination (from dust or dirt for example) on the sensor window, their working range and sensitivity can be reduced. Cleaning the Flame Detector, if it is high off the ground, may be difficult and or expensive, this is where the Flame Detector Air Purge kit comes in.
The combined strengths of FFE’s Fireray® 5000 and 3000 systems make a formidable team for protecting large interior spaces. Key Facts FFE’s Fireray 5000 reflective beam detectors are simple for non-specialist contractors to successfully install during a building’s construction, and then are quickly and easily commissioned. Key Facts The Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove, NJ, is an impressive structural steel...
Reflective beam detectors from FFE have provided a critical component of the fire detection strategy needed to protect an irreplaceable architectural treasure. Key Facts The Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove, NJ, is an impressive structural steel and wooden building covering a footprint of 36,225 square feet, with a center roof line height of 84 feet and a central octagonal tower...
Choosing Fireray One smoke detectors can reduce installation times dramatically versus comparable beam technologies. Key Facts: Reflective beam smoke detectors are well-suited to protecting large open spaces such as shopping malls. A recent project in Texas saw completion times almost halved from those expected based on experience with other beam detection systems. Fifteen beams were aligned in two hours thanks...
Helicopter Repair Facility Protected by Talentum Flame Detectors Helicopter support company Heli-One has installed FFE’s Talentum flame detectors as part of a foam extinguishing system at its helicopter repair and overhaul facility in Rzeszow, Poland. The units were installed by Polish fire suppression company Gureco on behalf of UK distributor M D Fire Systems.

Zoo Negara in Kuala Lumpur has installed FFE’s Fireray beam smoke detectors in the panda enclosure and viewing area. The detectors are designed to trigger a smoke spill fan in the event of a fire.
Oil Spill Response Ltd (OSRL) has installed three FFE Fireray 5000 auto-aligning optical beam smoke detectors in its oil dispersant warehouse in Southampton. The detectors were installed by Forward Control Ltd of Portsmouth.
To ensure optimum fire detection in its large atrium, the impressive new Los Angeles Federal Courthouse has installed four Fireray beam smoke detectors from FFE. The units were commissioned and installed by SimplexGrinnell.
With such a large presence of combustible material in one place the biomass conveyor required a fire detection system that could quickly and efficiently detect fires. The FFE Talentum IR3 was chosen as the ideal detector for this environment due to its false alarm immunity and speed of flame detection.
FFE’s Fireray end-to-end optical beam smoke detectors are protecting the glass entrance atrium of Mercedes-Benz World in Surrey. “Because of the atrium’s high ceiling, conventional smoke detectors were not suitable for this installation,” commented Managing Director Mark Osborne. “A sprinkler system was also not an option for the same reason,” he added.
As part of its fire protection system, the landmark Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London’s Kensington Gardens has selected FFE’s Fireray beam smoke detectors.
