Dräger Flame 5000

Flame Detection

The Dräger Flame 5000 is an imaging based explosion proof flame

detector. This visual flame detection system uses digital image processing
and advanced algorithms to process and interpret flame characteristics.
This principle offers an extended field of view and fewer false alarms.
Each detector is equipped with a colour CCTV camera.

Benefits

Immunity against false alarms

The unique software algorithm of the Dräger Flame 5000 is capable of discriminating between genuine fire
conditions and other radiant sources that may cause conventional detectors to become desensitized or produce
unwanted alarms. The detector is immune to common sources of unwanted alarms such as welding work, hot
CO2 emissions and flare reflections. This makes it to a great partner on your oil rig or industry plant.

Maximum field of view

The Dräger Flame 5000 can detect n-heptane fires of 0.1 m2 (1 ft²) or greater at a distance of 44 m (144 ft)
within a 90° horizontal and 65° vertical field of view. The detector’s field of view is a rectangular pyramid shape.
This gives it one of the greatest standard coverage area and range of any flame detector currently available.

Flexible operation

The Dräger Flame 5000 operates as a stand-alone unit to transmit live video recordings or can be connected to
a control system or a fire panel to provide fault and fire signalling. This is achieved using a 0 to 20 mA signal or
relay outputs. An integrated memory card enables the detector to record videos before and after alarm events.

Depending on the environmental conditions you can choose between an aluminium or a stainless steel housing.

Safe and fast intervention

Live video provides instant visual verification of a fire alarm without the operator having to enter a dangerous
area. This reduces the risk of injury and improves response time.

An optical verification facility checks the window for contamination and ensures its field of view is not
compromised by obstructions placed immediately in front of the detector.

Functional test

The Dräger FS-5000 flame simulator tests Dräger Flame Detectors at distances up to eight metres (22 ft). With
reduced need for scaffold or ladders to access the detector, maintenance costs can be decreased.

Easy to install and use

The detector is very easy to install using a mounting bracket of stainless steel. The swiveling mounting bracket
ensures that the device is optimally aimed towards potential sources of fire. The device status is displayed to
nearby workers by tri-coloured LED light.

System Components

Dräger REGARD® 7000

The Dräger REGARD® 7000 is a modular and therefore highly

expandable analysis system for monitoring various gases and vapours.
Suitable for gas warning systems with various levels of complexity and
numbers of transmitters, the Dräger REGARD® 7000 also features
exceptional reliability and efficiency. An additional benefit is the
backward compatibility with the REGARD®.
