This milestone enables customers to standardise on a single, proven flame detection platform with confidence in product availability, certification and long-term support. It also reinforces FFE’s commitment to supporting high-risk industrial sites with robust, intelligent detection technologies designed for challenging environmental and operational conditions.
The refreshed range includes the following SKUs:

These models deliver trusted performance with certified protection for explosive atmospheres, enabling customers to standardise on a proven platform across demanding industrial environments.
Built for Hazardous Environments: Ex i Series
The Talentum Ex i flame detectors combine multi-spectrum sensing with intrinsic safety design to deliver dependable protection in explosive atmospheres.
With ATEX/IECEx Ex i certification for Zones 0, 1 and 2, the IR2 and IR3 models provide rapid flame recognition even in partially obscured or difficult conditions. Advanced signal processing helps reduce nuisance alarms from sunlight, hot surfaces and electrical interference, while flexible configuration options support straightforward integration across industrial sites.
Engineered for Certainty: UV/IR2 Ex d
The Talentum UV/IR2 Ex d detector combines ultraviolet and infrared sensing for fast, accurate flame recognition in hazardous environments.
Certified for explosive atmospheres (ATEX II 2GD Ex d IIC T6), the detector is designed for use in Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22. Its flameproof construction, built-in self-test capability and adaptable output options make it well suited to applications across oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, aviation and LNG facilities.
The completed relaunch ensures improved continuity and availability across key markets, enabling customers to deploy a consistent, certified solution set featuring:
Ex i and Ex d options
Multi-spectrum detection technologies
High false alarm immunity
