Optical Detector (P/N 765002-1)

The Spectrex Military optical UV/IR detector is the latest model being installed in military tactical and combat vehicles. 

The detector is microcontroller based enabling adjustment of sensitivity and other features to a specific application. Detector includes continuous self-calibration to background radiation. A serial communication port provides outputs for maintenance and diagnostics. 

Only simultaneous detection of radiation in the UV and IR ranges of the electro-magnetic spectrum (which are characteristic of fire) and above pre-set threshold will result in a detector output signal. 

All other types of radiation sources, not identified as fires, will not be detected.
