General Electric (GE) recently introduced a new light-sensitive fire detector, the RS-FS-9010-03. Designed for fire prevention and monitoring in industrial environments, the detector uses optical principles to achieve rapid response and accurate identification of fires by detecting specific wavelengths of ultraviolet, infrared and visible light produced by the flame, as well as the flicker frequency of the flame.

The RS-FS-9010-03 detector has a variety of technical features, including high sensitivity, fast response time, wide viewing Angle and stable signal output. Its technical parameters are as follows: The explosion-proof level is CENEL EC EExdⅡ BT5, the sensitivity is adjustable, there are four ranges (15m/30m/45m/60m) can be set, the response time is 2 seconds, the horizontal and vertical viewing Angle is 90°, the power supply range is 18 to 32V DC, the power consumption is 200mA during normal operation, and the alarm is 150mA. In addition, the detector also has automatic and manual self-check function, signal output of 4 to 20mA DC, relay contact capacity of 2A, 30V DC or 250V AC when alarm; The fault is also 2A, 30V DC or 250V AC. Operating temperature range is -40 to 70 degrees Celsius.

The RS-FS-9010-03 detector is suitable for a variety of industrial environments, especially smokeless liquid and gas fires, open flames that produce smoke, and places where deflagrations may occur. These sites include, but are not limited to, heavy industry applications, tunnel engineering, oil and gas storage tank areas, the power industry and the petrochemical industry. In addition, RS-FS-9010-03‘s “brother” model, RS-FS-9010-03-25X, has a 2.5x gain for longer distance flame detection, enhancing performance in specific applications.

Reuter-Stokes, part of GE, offers the Flame Tracker Dry 325 RS-FS-099-03, a water-free flame detector designed for gas turbines that eliminates the need for water cooling by keeping sensitive electronics away from high temperature areas. This reduces maintenance and improves reliability in harsh environments.

Taken together, the RS-FS-9010-03 and its variants provide an efficient and reliable fire detection solution for industrial safety, helping to reduce fire risks and protect people and equipment.
