### False Alarm Immunity

Multi-spectrum IR design delivers long detection distances and enhanced false alarm immunity.

### Controlled Heated Optics

Microprocessor controlled heated optics, maintains operation in harsh weather conditions (snow, ice, condensation).

### Adjustable Sensitivity Levels

Adjustable sensitivity levels, for application flexibility and to ensure detectors do not cross vote.

### Easy Integration

Easy integration using industry standard outputs: Alarm and Fault Relays; 0-20mA; HART®, as standard.

### Long Range Flame Simulator

External testing with a long-range flame simulator minimises the need for scaffolding.

### Flexible Outputs

With FM, IECEx, ATEX, CE, and SIL2 approval, the FDS303 UVIR is accepted worldwide. This acceptance is enhanced with a range of metric and imperial threads.
