The Spectrex Model 20/20U, 20/20UB is a UV Flame Detector. It is designed to
sense the occurrence of fire and flames and subsequently activate an alarm or
an extinguishing system directly or through a control circuit for maximum fire
protection. It uses innovative technology of advanced digital signal processing to
analyze the dynamic characteristics of fire.
The Difference between models is that Model 20/20UB includes a Built-In-Test
(BIT) function while the 20/20U does not include the BIT.
Detection performance is controlled by a microprocessor and easily adapted to
all environments, applications and requirements. The result is a unique and
superior flame detector that provides excellent detection sensitivity with extreme
immunity to false alarm.
Detection Sensitivity
Detection sensitivity is the maximum distance at which the detector will reliably detect a specific size of fire & typical type of fuel (standard fire).
Standard Fire: Standard fire is defined as a 1ft x 1ft (0.3m x 0.3m) Gasoline pan fire with max. Wind speed of 6.5ft/sec (2m/sec).
Sensitivity Ranges:
The detector has two response levels:
1. Warning (Pre-alarm)
2. Alarm
Response Time:
The typical response time of the detector is 3 seconds. for 1 sq. ft. gasoline fire.
Other Fuels:
The Detector will react to other fuels in standard fire conditions at maximum response time of 5 seconds. The sensitivity range of other fuels varies according to the fuel type. The
percentage of the range for a fuel type that is relative to gasoline standard fire source is given at Table 1 below.
