Optical Detector (P/N 760002)

The Spectrex Military optical UV/IR detector is the latest model that has been installed and performance tested in the BAE Bradley Fighting Vehicle and in RG33 MRAP.

These tests have proven its superiority in sensitivity of detection of small fires as well as response to penetration of the vehicle, while maintaining its reliability and immunity to false alarm. 

The detector is microcontroller based enabling adjustment of sensitivity and other features to a specific application. Detector includes continuous self-calibration to background radiation. 

RS-485 port provides outputs for maintenance and diagnostics. 

This detector is ideal for crew compartments of military combat vehicles.
