Waste combustion detector
February 1st 2007

Specialist fire prevention system integrator, m.u.t based near Hamburg in Germany, has chosen the FLIR Systems ThermoVision A40-M fix-mounted camera for all its waste bunker installations. The A40 offers a spectral range of 7.5 to 13 µm, which allows to look through smoke and dust. Its 320x240 pixel uncooled microbolometer detector provides excellent thermal sensitivity and clear infrared imaging. Visual Basic/C++ and LabView software development kits enable customers a smooth application integration. m.u.t has successfully made use of these facilities to integrate the A40 camera into ARTUS, its waste bunker early fire detection software suite.

One ThermoVision A40 camera, mounted on a pan stilt and placed in an appropriate protective housing, is able to inspect a surface of up to 2000m2.
