The Fyreye ultra-violet flame detector is particularly suited to applications where flames can be expected to develop initially rather than smoke. This is typically due to the nature of the materials being protected for instance camera film, computer, audio & video tapes or disks.

The detector is for indoor use only and should not be exposed to spurious sources of UV, such as sparks, uncovered halogen lights, lightening, etc. as these may trigger a false alarm.

Due to the operational nature of flame detectors it is generally recommended to fit just one detector per zone.
