Introduction
The FS24X is the latest generation high technology Multi-Spectrum Triple IR (IR/IR/IR/Visible) Fire and Flame Detector, which is part of our FSX family of advanced technology Electro-Optical fire detectors. Using our patented WideBand IR™, Wideband 4.3 micron IR™, and Visible detection technology, the FS24X is a quantum leap in flame and fire detection. Sophisticated software algorithms and dual microprocessors ensure that the FS24X has the highest fire detection performance combined with optimal false alarm rejection

The FSX family of detectors feature our patented FirePic data storage and information retrieval facility. FirePic™ records pre-fire data, which can be recovered from the Detector’s non-volatile flash memory for post fire analysis and postulation of the fire cause. Additionally, unique Real-Time Graphing (RTG™) allows viewing of the data which the Detector actually sees. A combination of outputs makes the FS24X a truly versatile detector for today’s demanding industrial requirements. The FS24X detector has a detection range greater than 60 m (200 feet) (Very High Sensitivity setting) for the detection of a 0.1 m2 (one square-foot) Heptane reference fire and has a cone of vision far greater in volumetric coverage than any other Multi-Spectrum IR Detector.
