Emerson (NYSE: EMR) announced its new flame-resistant version of the Rosemount 965 flame detector for use in hazardous locations.
Rosemount 965 is deployed in mining operations to monitor accidental ignition. It uses four infrared sensors to help distinguish between real fires and false alarms caused by background radiation or direct sunlight. Emerson says the device can detect fires at distances up to 45 metres, with response times typically less than five seconds.
The updated model is designed for hazardous environments such as petrochemical plants, oil and gas facilities and ammunition sites. It is factory calibrated for life, eliminating the need to shut down systems for recalibration. The new model also comes with an IP66/IP68 enclosure to extend operational life in demanding locations.
“Customers need flame detection technology that matches the hazard, environment and operational needs of each application,” said Evgeny Revkin, director of flame and gas products at Emerson. “This new flame-retardant model expands the Rosemount 965 offering for hazardous locations, helping teams balance detection performance with resistance to nuisance alarms and routine calibration requirements.”
