Visual flame detection principle which ensures maximum false alarm immunity.
Live colour video output.
Single sensitivity for ease of mapping and maximum coverage.
On-board microSD card- pre/post alarm video recording.
Separate function test device– Flame Simulator CD-FS-301.
Advanced optical verification test.
Multiple output options for maximum flexibility and compatibility.
User programmable via HART or RS-485.
Canoperate stand-alone with or without video.
Unrivalled MTBF– min 2,000,000 hours.

Application Note

CD-F-301 Visual Flame Detector is a high-performance explosion-proof flame detection system designed for hazardous industrial environments where rapid detection and maximum reliability are essential. Using advanced video-based detection technology, it analyzes live images to identify the characteristic behavior of flames with exceptional precision.

Built with sophisticated digital signal processing and hardcoded detection algorithms, the CD-F-301 provides industry-leading immunity to false alarms. Its visual flame detection principle ensures accurate recognition even in complex environments where traditional sensors may struggle.

A key advantage of the CD-F-301 is its live colour video output combined with onboard microSD storage, allowing pre- and post-alarm video recording. This feature provides valuable insights for incident analysis, system verification and safety audits.

The detector is designed for seamless integration into industrial systems, supporting communication protocols such as HART and RS-485 along with multiple output options. It can operate as a standalone unit or as part of a larger safety system, with or without video output.

With a simplified single-sensitivity configuration, installation and coverage mapping are made easier, reducing setup complexity. The device is engineered for long-term reliability, offering an exceptionally high mean time between failures (MTBF) of over 2,000,000 hours.

Suitable for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, marine and water treatment, the CD-F-301 Visual Flame Detector delivers advanced fire detection with enhanced safety, reliability and operational efficiency.
