Product Overview Product Overview The SharpEye 40/40UFI is a flame detector that utilizes improved IR3 technology to provide state-of-the-art fire protection. The 40/40UFI uses patented digital signal processing to analyze the spectral and dynamic characteristics of the measured infrared radiation, to identify fire events with exceptional sensitivity and extreme immunity to false alarms.
Product Overview (–55°C ≤ Ta ≤ +85°C) Model and Types The 40/40UFI Flame Detector is provided in various configurations depending on: • Wiring options • Temperature ranges • Type of cable entries • Housing material type • Required approval The configuration detail is included in the product part number on the product label and takes the form: 40/40UFI-XXXXX, where XXXXX defines the model according to the above requirements.
This section describes the 40/40 principles of operation. 2.4.1 Hydrocarbon Fire Detection The SharpEye 40/40UFI Detector is designed to detect flames in which carbon dioxide (CO ) is produced in the combustion process. These include all hydrocarbon flames, as well as other types of flames and burning materials such as wood or alcohol.
The detector does not react when exposed to non- fire radiation sources. The SharpEye 40/40UFI also includes an additional IR sensor, sensitive to a different band within the emission peak of hot CO . This sensor’s signal is compared to those of the other 3, thereby increasing sensitivity for some types of flames, such as gas flames.
