Crowcon Fgard IR3

Fast and reliable flame detection for demanding environments. The Fgard IR3 from Crowcon is a multi-spectrum infrared flame detector designed to rapidly and accurately detect hydrocarbon-based fires.

By analyzing three separate IR wavelengths with advanced algorithms, the device offers high sensitivity and minimizes the risk of false alarms — even in challenging industrial conditions.

Key Features:

  • Long detection range: Detects a 0.1 m² fire at up to 60 meters in under 5 seconds
  • Multi-spectrum IR analysis: Reliable detection from all hydrocarbon sources
  • Automatic optical self-test: No need for manual mirror tests
  • Heated optics: Prevents fogging, icing, and water build-up on the sensor
  • Durable design: Aluminium or stainless steel housing, IP66 / NEMA 4X protection

Technical Specifications:

  • Response time: < 5 seconds
  • Operating temperature: -76°C to +85°C
  • Power supply: 24 VDC (18–32 VDC)
  • Outputs: 0–20 mA, HART®, relays (alarm and fault)
  • Housing material: Copper-free aluminium or 316 stainless steel
  • Certifications: SIL 2, ATEX, IECEx, FM, IP66

Typical Applications:

  • Oil & gas facilities (onshore/offshore)
  • Petrochemical and chemical industries
  • Pharmaceutical and printing industries
  • Aircraft hangars, warehouses, power plants
  • Tunnels, LNG/LPG stations, recycling plants
