Spyglass IR3 - H2
Optical Flame Detector
Spyglass™ flame detectors offer the fastest detection of fires and explosions, providing the opportunity to reduce or prevent damage to property & equipment.
The Spyglass™ IR3-H2 flame detectors provide unrivaled response, high performance and reliable detection for challenging fires such as hydrogen.
The near-infrared video technology embedded in option in the detector allows visualization of these fires which are often nearly invisible to the human eye. Video capture of a fire event includes one minute before the alarm and up to three minutes after the event.

Seeing Is Believing
Spyglass IR3 - H2 flame detectors provide industry leading reliability and detection speed for hydrogen fires. The IR3-H2 provides protection while also logging alarm events.
The Spyglass™ IR3-H2-V model incorporates an HD video which records from one minute before a fire even to up to 3 minutes after. It also allows remote operators a chance to quickly confirm a fire condition. In addition, the IR3-H2-V offers a near-infrared video feed as standard (color RGB is optional).
Why near-infrared?
Hydrogen fires can be extremely difficult to see. Near-infrared gives anyone viewing the video a chance to quickly determine the fire source that activated the alarm condition.
Hydrogen and Other Clean Burning Fuels can be Practically Invisible
Unlike hydrocarbon fires from fuels such as gasoline or diesel which are easily visible to the human eye, clean burning fuels like hydrogen and alcohol can be very difficult to see.
In fact, in daylight hydrogen is almost invisible to the human eye.
This is also true of hydrogen fires shown through regular color (RGB) video - while the Spyglass flame detector will detect the fire, it can't be seen on standard video.
For this reason the default video option for the Spyglass™ IR3-H2-V is near-infrared video. In near-infrared the clean burning fuel fires are clearly visible to the human eye.
