Dual-band optical flame detector

Detect flame fast without treating every heat source like a fire.

Troman optical detection for high-risk vehicle zones

Troman’s dual-band optical detector provides rapid flame detection in engine compartments and other high-hazard vehicle zones. Its sensors monitor two wavelengths within the infrared spectrum, combining fast response with improved immunity to common false-alarm sources.

Detectors can be aimed toward individual components or arranged to protect a larger volume. When the detector recognizes a qualifying flame signature, it sends an alarm to the Troman controller, where the event can initiate operator warnings, emergency outputs, and suppression protocols.

Troman’s dual-band optical flame detector uses two infrared wavelengths to detect flames rapidly in bus engine compartments and other high-risk vehicle areas while reducing false alarms.

Fast response where fire can escalate quickly

Direct the sensor toward the components that matter most.

Turbochargers, fuel-system components, hydraulic systems, and hot engine surfaces can create environments where a small ignition event grows quickly. Optical detection provides a direct line-of-sight method for recognizing flame in these zones.

Multiple detectors can be connected on a monitored channel to cover the geometry of a compartment and communicate with Troman controllers.

Designed for the vehicle environment

Rugged construction supports real-world fleet service.

The detector is designed for broad operating temperatures and uses a sealed enclosure with environmentally protected connectors. A green status indicator supports inspection, while periodic optic cleaning helps maintain performance in dirty operating environments.
