Argus Infrared Spark Detectors

The heart of our systems is the Argus Infrared Spark Detector, so effective and reliable that more than 100,000 have been installed around the world. They offer high-speed sensitivity to sparks or embers traveling in duct work or machinery at speeds from 150mm (or 6 inches) per second to 60 meters (200 feet) per second. That is equivalent to embers moving at speeds of up to ~ 220 kph (or 136 mph). Our spark detector is so unique and effective that it is patented and features an unrivaled ability to distinguish between hazardous embers and non-threatening static discharges significantly reducing the cost and operational impact of the system.
