Spark Detector- SD300-EX and SDF300-EX
The Atexon® SD300-EX and SDF300-EX Spark Detectors are designed to detect ignition sources such as sparks, hot particles, flames, and burning embers in pneumatic conveying systems, ducts, chutes, conveyor systems, cyclones, and bucket elevators. The detectors provide reliable ignition source detection and signal the Atexon Spark Detection and Extinguishing System to activate automatic water suppression before a fire or explosion can occur.
Product description
The SD300-EX features a broad VIS/NIR/IR detection spectrum for detecting visible sparks and hot particles through material layers, while the SDF300-EX provides infrared-based daylight insensitive detection. Both models feature a 180° field of view for improved coverage and reliable spark detection in high-speed material flow applications.
