Det-Tronics X5200 UV/IR Flame Detector

X5200 Ultraviolet Infrared Flame Detector (X2200GS4M13T2) PN:018315-001

In high-stakes industrial environments, a false alarm isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a costly disruption to your operations. The Det-Tronics X5200 UVIR Flame Detector represents the gold standard in dual-technology detection, engineered to distinguish between actual hydrocarbon fires and extraneous radiation sources that trigger inferior sensors.

Why the X5200 is the Industry Choice for Complex Detection

The X5200 is not a standard detector; it is a sophisticated safety solution designed for applications where extraneous IR radiation (such as hot machinery or sunlight) may cause other detectors to fail or trigger false alarms. By combining Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) sensors, the X5200 ensures maximum protection with near-zero false positives.

Key Performance Benefits

  • Dual-Technology Verification: Can be configured to alarm only when both UV and IR sources are confirmed, or set to individual sources based on your specific risk profile.

  • Built for Adverse Weather: Features heated optics to ensure consistent performance in rain, ice, or humid environments where lens fogging could otherwise blind the sensor.

  • Failsafe Optical Integrity (oi®): The patented oi® system performs a comprehensive automatic check of the optical path every 60 seconds, ensuring the device is always ready to respond.

  • Compliance at High Speeds: When integrated into an EQP/HSDM safety system, the X5200 meets NFPA 15 Ultra-High-Speed requirements for mission-critical fire suppression.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of a UV/IR detector over a Triple IR (IR3) detector? While IR3 is excellent for long-range detection, a UV/IR detector like the X5200 is often preferred in environments with heavy IR interference or where lightning-fast response times are required, as the UV component reacts almost instantaneously to the initial flash of a fire. Does the Det-Tronics X5200 work in rain or snow? Yes. The X5200 is equipped with heated optics specifically designed to melt ice and prevent condensation, ensuring the optical path remains clear in the most adverse weather conditions. Can I integrate the X5200 into my existing Modbus or HART network? Absolutely. The X5200 is highly versatile, supporting multiple communication protocols including Modbus, HART, and 0-20 mA, making it easy to drop into almost any industrial control
