New features include a heated window, to eliminate condensation and icing, HART capabilities for digital communications, lower power requirements and a compact, lighter design.

The Sierra Monitor 3600-I Triple IR (IR3) flame detector detects fuel and gas fires at long distances with a high immunity to false alarms. The 3600-I IR3 can detect a 1ft2 (0.1m2) gasoline pan fire at 215 feet (65 meters) in less than 5 seconds. New features include a heated window, to eliminate condensation and icing, HART capabilities for digital communications, lower power requirements and a compact, lighter design.

The flame detector also offers a triple-spectrum design for long-distance detection and high false alarm immunity, sensitivity selection to ensure no zone crossover detection and an automatic and manual built-in-test.

Other features include a heated window for operation in harsh weather conditions (snow, ice, condensation); multiple output options for maximum flexibility and compatibility; three relays for alarm, fault and auxiliary; HART Protocol for maintenance and asset management.

The unit also is S-485, Modbus compatible and comes with a two-year warranty.
