    Intertek Flame Detector FM 3260

    Uploaded by

    Jorge Medina
    Flame detectors are intended to detect radiant emissions from flames using infrared, visible, and ultraviolet sensors matched to the unique spectra of different fuels. FM 3260 sets approval criteria for flame detectors used in fire alarm systems, including performance requirements, markings, manufacturing audits, and follow-up programs. It requires detectors rated over 30V AC or 60V DC to have ground terminals and specifies testing sensitivities for fuel type, size, distance and response time within 30 seconds. Intertek is an accredited test lab that can quickly test and certify flame detectors per FM 3260 for functional safety and hazardous locations approvals using indoor and outdoor testing facilities.
