DET-TRONICS X3301 Multispectrum Infrared Flame Detector
Product Overview
The X3301 is a multispectrum infrared flame detector that uses patented signal processing to detect hydrocarbon fires while rejecting false alarm sources (hot CO₂, welding, sunlight, etc.). It provides very high-speed response and excellent detection range, making it one of the most trusted flame detectors in high-risk oil & gas and petrochemical facilities.

Application Industry
- Offshore platforms & FPSOs
- Refineries & petrochemical plants
- LNG terminals & storage
- Gas compressor stations
- Hangars & turbine enclosures
Common Problems & Solutions
- False alarms from hot surfaces or welding → Multispectrum IR + patented algorithms reject most sources
- Slow detection in large areas → 210 ft on-axis range with fast response
- Condensation/fogging in cold climates → Heated optics option available
Replacement Models
- Older X3301 versions (pre-2015 firmware)
- X3302 (multispectrum for hydrogen fires)
- X3800 single IR detector (lower performance)
