Replacing Your Flame Sensor: How To Choose The Right Fire Detection System

One of the essential parts of any fire and gas sector site is the flame sensor system. However, we often take the reliability of a fire detector for granted, and we don’t realise it needs replacing until it’s too late. At HMA Instrumentation, we’re passionate about providing high-quality fire detector solutions to businesses across industries such as soil and gas, petrochemicals, mining, processing, material handling, and power generation. Over our decades of helping companies integrate state-of-the-art flame detector technology, we’ve picked up a few tips for choosing the right fire detection camera for your site.

Signs You Should Update Your Fire Detector System

We grow so accustomed to seeing fire cameras everywhere that we don’t often stop to consider whether or not they need updating. Here are a few signs that your fire detector may require a replacement.

If your system is old or out of date

An old flame sensor system is more trouble than it’s worth. Not only will dated fire cameras require more maintenance and more money to upkeep, but there’s also a chance they’re using outdated technology. In industrial sectors, you can’t take the risk of trusting old, obsolete fire detection technology. If you’re in doubt, call the specialists at HMA Instrumentation to come and assess your fire detector system.

If your flame sensor requires a lot of maintenance. It’s completely normal to have your fire cameras maintained annually, and occasionally there may be necessary repairs. However, if you find that you’re spending far too much money repairing your flame sensor system over and over, it’s time to consider a replacement or an upgrade.

If your site is changing. Whether your site is growing or downsizing, you’ll need to make sure you have fire cameras that cater to the size of the site and the number of people within it.

Questions To Ask So You Select The Right Flame Sensor

Before selecting fire cameras, there are a few things you need to consider to ensure you choose the right system for your workplace.

What are you protecting? 

Is your flame detection camera in an area with people, property, or a combination of the two? Every site’s requirements are different, so each needs a unique fire detector system.

Has the building undergone a risk assessment? 

A thorough risk assessment helps you identify the most significant fire hazards, allowing you to more accurately determine where you need to place fire cameras and other fire prevention equipment.

Does your company have any unique needs? 

If you work with highly volatile, flammable materials every day, you may need a more tailored fire management plan with more fire cameras. If your workplace is substantial and complex, you may need to be more careful with the placement of each flame detection camera.

Will your fire system make your business compliant? 

Above all else, you need to ensure your workplace is 100% compliant with all fire safety laws and legislation. Before installing any flame detection camera, make sure you understand your obligations and requirements.
