--- title: FDS301 Intelligent Visual Flame Detector description: MICROPACK fluid and fire dynamics engineers use a range of computer models to solve complex flow problems depending upon the goal of the specific project. image: https://www.micropacksafety.com/hubfs/20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_059_GREEN.png --- ## About the product The FDS301 intelligent Visual Flame Detector delivers unrivalled false alarm immunity compared competing technologies. The detector has in-built safety features such as live colour CCTV output and on-board micro-SD card which records alarms for post-event analysis. ![20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_067_GREEN-min](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/FDS301/20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_067_GREEN-min.png?width=300&height=362&name=20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_067_GREEN-min.png) ### Worldwide Approvals With FM, FMC, IECEx, ATEX, CE, and SIL2 approval, the FDS301 is accepted worldwide. This acceptance is enhanced with a range of metric and imperial threads, and both PAL and NTSC video modes. ### Immunity and Discrimination The FDS301 is immune to common sources of unwanted alarms such as hot work (e.g. grinding and welding), hot CO2 emissions (such as turbine exhausts) and reflected flare radiation. ### Flame Detection and Live Video The FDS301 outputs a live video signal over standard twisted pair cable.  The live video provides instant visual verification of fire eliminating the need to send personnel into potentially hazardous situations and reducing the risk of injury. Although the FDS301 transmits live video images, it is not necessary to utilize them as the unit will still be a fully functioning flame detector. ### On-board Flame Video Recording Each FDS301 incorporates an on-board Micro-SD card capable of recording 17 seconds of the alarm video – 8.5 seconds pre-alarm and 8.5 seconds' post-alarm. This feature proves invaluable during incident analysis. It means you will never have an unknown alarm. Operators who have experienced fires have used the recording to put preventative measures in place to ensure the same incident does not occur again. ### Single Sensitivity Unlike any other flame detector on the market, the sensitivity of the detector is pre-set, and no configuration is required. The detector is sensitive to fires of n-heptane 0.1m2 at up to 44m within a 90° Horizontal field of view. The sensitivity of the detector is pre-set and no changes in sensitivity are required.  ### Flexible Outputs With built in relays, the FDS301 can be operated as a standalone alarm device with no need for further control equipment. Alternatively, it can be integrated into a control system using its 2 relay outputs, or 0 to 20 mA signal with HART. ### Flame Detector Accessories The following accessories are available for the FDS301: - FS301 Flame Simulator - 2200.0700 - Bracket - Mounting Bracket Type 3 (Universal) - Vertical to horizontal mount - 3100.0003.1 - Marine Bracket (DNV Variant) - 3100.0003.4 - Duct/tank mount bracket - sapphire lens - 3100.0003.5 - Detector Sealing Kit - Metric (Gland seals and O ring set) - 2200.0026 - USB to RS485 converter - 3100.0028.3 - USB HART Modem - 3100.0029.3 - FS301 Flame Simulator Charger - 2200.0501 - FDS Series Air shield - 316 SS - 3100.0025 - 2" Pole mount bracket - 3100.0021 - 3" Pole mount bracket - 3100.0022 - 4" Pole mount bracket - 3100.0023 - FDS Series Sun/weather shield - 3100.0020 - FDS Series Air shield - Aluminium - 3100.0025.1 - VTP4 - Twisted pair to COAX BNC converter - 3100.0010 - BNC Converter - 3100.0011 - VIM4 Quad Channel Video Isolator Module - 3100.0019 - ![20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_067_CLEAR-min](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/FDS301/20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_067_CLEAR-min.png?width=3738&height=2497&name=20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_067_CLEAR-min.png) - ![20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_065-min](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/FDS301/20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_065-min.png?width=3738&height=2497&name=20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_065-min.png) - ![20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_068_CLEAR-min](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/FDS301/20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_068_CLEAR-min.png?width=3738&height=2497&name=20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_068_CLEAR-min.png) - ![20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_066_RED-min](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/FDS301/20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_066_RED-min.png?width=3738&height=2497&name=20181216_FDS301_MICROPACK_IMAGES_EDITED_066_RED-min.png) - ![SAM_2135-w1024](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/FDS301/SAM_2135-w1024.jpg?width=1024&height=768&name=SAM_2135-w1024.jpg) - ![retro20fit1](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/FDS301/retro20fit1.jpg?width=663&height=498&name=retro20fit1.jpg) - ![FDS30120offshore](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/FDS301/FDS30120offshore.jpg?width=750&height=657&name=FDS30120offshore.jpg) - ![dsc_0025-w1024](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/FDS301/dsc_0025-w1024.jpg?width=1024&height=681&name=dsc_0025-w1024.jpg) - ![jwsigpro_cache_8d8c744f07_sam_2183-w1024](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/FDS301/jwsigpro_cache_8d8c744f07_sam_2183-w1024.jpg?width=133&height=100&name=jwsigpro_cache_8d8c744f07_sam_2183-w1024.jpg) - ![retrofit203](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Products/FDS301/retrofit203.jpg?width=663&height=498&name=retrofit203.jpg) ## Markets Each flame detector application presents its own set of unique challenges.
