Omniguard® model 760 Multi-spectrum Infrared Flame Detector

The Omniguard model 760 multi-spectrum infrared flame detector senses five discrete infrared wavelengths for early fire detection. It uses the patented Fire Event Analysis algorithm for strong false-alarm immunity and is suited for refineries, pipelines, production platforms, power plants, compressor stations, LNG/LPG facilities, tank farms, hangars, and petrochemical plants.

  • Patented Fire Event Analysis algorithm
  • Five discrete infrared wavelengths
  • 90-degree field of view
  • Long-distance sensitivity modes
  • Automatic through-the-lens self-test

IR5 flame detection

Senses infrared radiation in five discrete wavelengths for early detection of hydrocarbon and certain non-hydrocarbon fires.

False-alarm immunity

The patented Fire Event Analysis algorithm helps distinguish real fire events from non-fire sources.

Long-distance sensitivity

Supports normal, enhanced, and long-distance sensitivity modes for demanding coverage requirements.

90-degree field of view

Provides a 90-degree horizontal field of view for broad area coverage.

Through-the-lens self-test

Automatic self-test monitors detector sensing performance and reports fault conditions when impaired.

Rugged housing

Weatherproof, explosion-proof enclosure supports indoor and outdoor industrial use.

Field-configurable outputs

Relays, sensitivity, and output behavior can be configured for site requirements.

Global approvals

Approved for regulated and hazardous areas, including FM, CSA, IECEx, ATEX, SIL2, UKCA, ECAS-Ex, and PESO.

Warranty coverage

Includes five-year sensor warranty and three-year component/manufacturing defect warranty from date of delivery.

Industrial applications

Designed for refineries, tank farms, production platforms, compressor stations, hangars, and petrochemical plants.
