Product Overview
The FIRE ZB110IR2 is a high-sensitivity infrared (IR) flame detector engineered for rapid, reliable fire detection in industrial environments where early hazard identification is critical to protecting personnel, equipment, and assets. As a specialized safety device, the FIRE ZB110IR2 excels in detecting invisible infrared radiation emitted by open flames—even in harsh conditions like smoke, dust, or high humidity—ensuring no false alarms from non-flame heat sources (e.g., hot pipes, sunlight). Core features include dual-wavelength IR sensing technology, wide detection range, rugged IP67-rated housing, and compatibility with industrial safety systems (e.g., HIMA SIS, Honeywell DCS)—all tailored to meet the demands of high-risk industries. Built to withstand extreme industrial conditions, the FIRE ZB110IR2 operates consistently across broad temperature ranges and resists corrosion, vibration, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it ideal for petrochemical refineries, offshore oil platforms, chemical storage facilities, and power plants. Whether deployed in new safety system installations or retrofits of legacy fire detection setups, the FIRE ZB110IR2 delivers fast, accurate flame detection, a cornerstone for minimizing fire-related losses and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Key Features and Benefits
1. Dual-Wavelength IR Sensing for Zero False Alarms
The FIRE ZB110IR2 uses dual-band infrared technology (4.3 μm and 5.0 μm) to distinguish between real flames and non-hazardous heat sources. Flames emit unique IR radiation at 4.3 μm (a signature of carbon dioxide, produced by combustion), while the 5.0 μm band acts as a reference to filter out interference from sunlight, hot surfaces, or incandescent lights. This dual-sensing design eliminates false alarms— a common issue with single-band detectors—ensuring maintenance teams only respond to genuine fire hazards. For example, in a petrochemical refinery, the FIRE ZB110IR2 will ignore heat from a hot reactor but immediately trigger an alarm if a fuel leak ignites, saving time and resources.
2. Wide Detection Range and Fast Response Time
With a detection range of up to 30 meters (for a 0.1 m² n-heptane flame) and a response time of ≤ 1 second, the FIRE ZB110IR2 provides early warning of fires, even in large industrial spaces like warehouses or offshore platforms. This speed is critical for activating emergency systems (e.g., sprinklers, fire suppression foam, emergency shutdowns) before flames spread, minimizing damage and reducing evacuation time. Unlike smoke detectors, which rely on smoke particles reaching the device (a slower process), the FIRE ZB110IR2 detects flames directly—making it ideal for high-ceiling areas or spaces with poor air circulation.
3. Rugged IP67 Housing for Harsh Environments
The FIRE ZB110IR2 features a 316L stainless steel housing rated IP67, meaning it is fully dust-tight and resistant to temporary submersion (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes). This design protects the detector from corrosion (critical for offshore or chemical environments), dust, and water ingress—extending its operational lifespan and reducing maintenance needs. Additionally, the detector is rated to withstand vibration (EN 60068-2-6) and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +70°C), ensuring reliable performance in environments like desert power plants or arctic oil facilities.
4. Flexible Integration with Industrial Safety Systems
The FIRE ZB110IR2 offers multiple output options—2 SPDT relays (for alarm and fault signals), a 4-20 mA analog signal, and RS485 (Modbus RTU)—allowing seamless integration with existing safety systems. For instance, it can connect to a HIMA SIS to trigger an emergency shutdown (ESD) of a fuel line, or to a Honeywell DCS to display flame status on a plant HMI. This flexibility eliminates the need for custom adapters, simplifying installation and ensuring compatibility with both legacy and modern safety architectures.
5. Self-Monitoring and Diagnostic Capabilities
The FIRE ZB110IR2 includes built-in self-monitoring features to ensure it remains operational at all times. It continuously checks internal components (e.g., IR sensors, power supply, communication ports) and triggers a fault signal if issues are detected (e.g., sensor degradation, low power). The detector also supports remote diagnostics via RS485, allowing engineers to check performance data (e.g., detection sensitivity, alarm history) without physically accessing the device. This proactive monitoring reduces unplanned downtime and ensures the detector is always ready to respond to fires.
