Teledyne Unveils Latest 'Spyglass SG50-F’' Series to
Detect Flames and Safeguarding People, Assets
Teledyne Gas and Flame Detec on
has unveiled its SpyglassTM Sg50-
F series of flame detectors to make
the safeguarding of people and assets
easier than ever before. With updated
op cs and algorithms, and on-board
video in either colour or near-infrared
op ons, the SG50-F series offers superior
performance and security.
For any facility to protect its most
valuable resources such as human lives
and capital assets, reliable flame
detec on systems are a necessity.
SpyglassTM SG50-F series open-path
flame detectors elevate the level of
reliability and func onality available in
comparison with exis ng flame detec on
products on the market.
Notably, these innova ve flame detectors
c o m e e q u i p p e d w i t h H D v i d e o
capabili es, allowing for the detec on of
fires that may not be visible to the naked
eye. Colour video is effec ve in detec ng
fuel fires like gasoline and jet fuel, while
the near-infrared video op on can detect
fires caused by other fuels such as
hydrogen and methanol.
The on-board video also enables remote
confirma on of fire situa ons and
provides valuable informa on on fire
progression and suppression methods.
Such informa on can prove vital in
responding to fire emergencies and enabling
users to make important safety decisions from a
remote loca on.
SpyglassTM series products from Teledyne Gas
and Flame Detec on feature a robust and
durable housing. Made from 316L stainless steel
to meet IP66/IP68 and NEMA 250 6P protec on
ra ng standards, the enclosure houses state-ofthe-art
op c technology and advanced so ware
algorithms, enabling rapid and reliable fire
detec on.
The range offers improved op cal flame
detec on capabili es, with a quicker detec on
me and be er performance even over
extended distances.
They can serve as a cost-effec ve alterna ve to
employing mul ple line of sight point gas
detectors, which would entail higher ini al costs
and maintenance expenses. Notably, these
detectors also offer industry-leading false alarm
immunity to several challenging environments
while performing in adverse climates.
Carrying a wide range of global approvals that
include ATEX, FMus, FMc, IECEx, EACX and SIL2,
all SpyglassTM flame detectors work by
analysing the absorp on of radia on caused by
gases in the atmosphere and comparing it to
background atmospheric absorp on. They
come with triple infrared (IR3) and UV-IR
op ons to suit a range of applica ons.
The IR3 version is specifically designed to
detect hydrocarbons, making it ideal for
applica ons such as refineries, oil and gas
pla orms, FPSO (floa ng produc on storage
and offloading) systems, petrochemical plants,
marine facili es, compressor sta ons and
turbine enclosures.
There is also an IR3-H2 op on for hydrogen
and energy transi on applica ons.
For those seeking a solu on for both
hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon fires, look
no further than the UV-IR op on, which is
perfect for ba ery rooms, as well as ammonia
and metal-based applica ons. There is even a
UV-IR-F op on offering suitability for
muni ons facili es.
Supplied with configura on and video display
so ware, the SpyglassTM SG50-F series offers
mul ple output op ons for easy detector
communica on, such as 4-20mA, Modbus,
HART and relays.
