AutroFlame Multispectrum Flame Detector X33AF PL

Features & Benefits

• Single detector for multiple fuels. Certified for 5
different hydrocarbon fires.
• Interfaces to PowerLoop.
• Lowest cost of coverage in the industry, extended
detection range, new standard set for cone-of-
vision.
• Best combination of flame detection and false
alarm rejection.
• Reliable flame detection with modulated infrared
background present.
• SelfVerify Function for automatic testing of the
detector.
• Calibrated automatic optical check for each sensor
eliminates need for testing with external test lamp.
• Integral wiring compartment provides
explosion/flame proof or increased safety (Eexd e)
installation in hazardous areas.
• Heated optics, enable optimal performance in
adverse environments (microprocessor controlled).
• Low maintenance cost.
• Designed in compliance with the latest approval
directives FM3260:2000, CSA, ATEX, CE and
DNV. The detector has a detection range to gasoline of
over 60m, and a solid cone of vision for methane.

The detector is suitable for applications that are at

Application / Description
The AutroFlame Multispectrum Flame Detector
X33AF PL utilizes advanced signal processing
algorithms, supported by an embedded 32-bit
microprocessor, to provide continuous protection in
the presence of false alarm sources and
environments with infrared radiation present.
the extremes, and where background infrared
radiation is a normal condition (Offshore
production platforms, Offshore production ships,
Refineries, Production facilities, Loading racks,
Compressor stations, Turbine enclosures).

The detector has built-in PowerLoop technology

which makes the detector capable of being powered
and communicating with AutroSafe Integrated Fire
and Gas panels (IFG) on the same pair of wire,
saving cable cost and weight. Each detector has a
built-in short-circuit isolator, hence no detectors will
be lost because of a single break or short-circuit in the
PowerLoop lines.

All alarms and faults will be signaled via PowerLoop.

The PowerLoop is a two-wire power and signaling bus

connected in ring topology and is galvanic isolated
from the rest of the system.

The detector does not require any local power supply.
