NOTIFIER by Honeywell has added the Fire Sentry line of flame detectors that seamlessly integrate with any version of its Onyx Series fire alarm systems to ensure rapid, accurate and reliable detection of fire emergencies in a commercial and industrial applications.

The Fire Sentry line from Honeywell Analytics utilises a sophisticated series of patented algorithms to speed detection of a real fire event while virtually eliminating false alarms. In addition to monitoring for spikes in the radiant energy of a flame, the detectors monitor the entire flame spectrum for inconsistencies to unequivocally verify an alarm – a valuable feature exclusive to Fire Sentry technologies, says a spokesman for the company.

“While most flame detector types require separate devices to monitor for fires from hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases, Fire Sentry detectors protect against both types in virtually all weather conditions, altitudes and environments,” says the spokesman.

More than 100,000 Fire Sentry units currently protect a wide range of commercial and industrial applications worldwide. Common commercial applications requiring flame detection include aircraft hangars, chemical storage areas, paint booths, fuelling stations, warehouses and general boiler rooms. Flame detection is also essential for power, natural gas and other utility plants; refineries; chemical production, storage and loading facilities; offshore oil platforms; various manufacturing plants; and many more industrial-type facilities.

Notifier’s portfolio of smoke, gas and flame detection is one of the world’s most comprehensive offerings of advanced detection technologies, capable of being tied into and monitored by a single fire alarm system.

Its full portfolio of flame, smoke and gas detection, combined with its Onyx Series systems’ flexible architecture, ease of monitoring, and innate backward compatibility enable it to serve the fire protection needs of virtually any facility.

“The ability to easily integrate emergency communications capabilities with the reliable protection of an Onxy Series fire alarm system can serve the mass notification needs of most commercial and industrial properties as well,” says the spokesman.

Honeywell International is a $35-billion diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials.
