A flame detector (100) for industrial safety applications in hazardous locations, configured for radiant energy monitoring, quantification, and information transmission. The system has at least one optical sensor channel, each including an optical sensor (2a. 2b. 2c, 2d) configured to receive optical energy from a surveilled scene within a field of view at a hazardous location, the channel producing a signal (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) providing a quantitative indication of the optical radiation energy received by the optical sensor within a sensor spectral bandwidth. A processor (6, 120) is responsive to the signal from the at least one optical sensor channel to provide a flame present indication of the presence of a flame, and a quantitative indication representing a magnitude of the optical radiation energy from the surveilled scene. An Artificial Neural Network may optionally be used to provide an output corresponding to a flame condition. |
