Flame detectors
GENUINE EQUIPMENT
Infrared flame detectors sense hydrocarbon flames in plants, fuel stores and combustion areas. CAD supplies genuine Honeywell flame detectors with CO/CQ.
Industrial flame detectors
A flame detector senses the radiation of a fire from a distance and reacts faster than a smoke detector in large, high-ceilinged or outdoor areas. Infrared (IR) detectors suit hydrocarbon fuel fires.
- Fuel storage, gas filling and chemical stores
- Machinery rooms, generator and turbine areas
- Select by fuel type, detection range and field of view
- Choose protection suited to the hazardous area
Brands listed here: Honeywell. CAD advises on detector placement and provides datasheets, CO/CQ, installation and commissioning support.

How does a flame detector differ from a smoke detector?
It sees the flame and does not wait for smoke to spread, so it suits large or outdoor areas.
Can sunlight cause false alarms?
Modern detectors use filters and algorithms to reject interference, but the right type and location still matter.
