Etalon Security is supplier of Spectrex Flame Detectors for the accurate detection of Flame in industrial, potentially explosive atmospheres and hazardous area locations according to ATEX and IECEx classifications \u2013 Spectrex detectors are Hazardous Area Approved (FM\/ATEX\/IECEx\/CSA and more) for location in Zone 1 & Zone areas (ATEX) and 3rd party Performance Approved (EN54-10, FM, DNV) for onshore and offshore flame detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hazardous are industries including offshore oil\/gas platforms and FPSOs, onshore oil refineries, processing plants, pipelines, storage farms and LPG\/LNG plants all utilise or produce a wide range of hazardous flammable liquids and gases that can be detected using correctly specified both flame and gas detectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectrex is a world leader in Optical Flame Detection and Open Path Gas Detection \u2013 the first to launch major innovations that have become trade standards such as the first UV\/IR and IR3 Flame Detector designs, with continuing new designs meeting application challenges. Spectrex was first to incorporate the Xenon Flash in OPGD detectors to solve false alarm issues common in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The range of Spectrex flame detectors are trusted and specified throughout the hazardous area industires protecting personnel, property and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
