Description
Oldham Spyglass SG50 – UV/IR Optical Flame Detector
The Oldham Spyglass SG50 – UV/IR Optimal Flame Detector is a high-performance optical flame detector that provides ultra-fast response and reliable detection of a wide range of fires, including hydrocarbon fires (visible and non-visible), hydrogen fires, hydrogen/methane blends, ammonia, and silane fires. It utilizes advanced UV and IR sensor technology to rapidly detect fire signatures, with a detection time as fast as 5 milliseconds for fireballs or explosions.
The Spyglass SG50 – UV/IR Optimal Flame Detector model is optimized specifically for hydrocarbon fires, such as those involving methane, fuels, and solvents. It shares the same high sensitivity and fast response as the standard SG50-F-UV-IR but is tailored for hydrocarbon fire detection.
Both the SG50-F-UV-IR and SG50-F-UV-IR-F models are available with an optional built-in video camera, offering either colour (RGB) or near-infrared video output for visual verification of fire events. This integrated video capability enhances situational awareness and aids in fire response efforts.
Key Features

- Reliable detection of hydrocarbon fires, hydrogen fires, hydrogen/methane blends, ammonia, and silane fires
- Optional built-in video camera for visual verification (colour or near-infrared)
- High immunity to false alarms
- Data/event logging for alarms, faults, and other events
- Ethernet communication in addition to standard protocols like 4-20 mA and Modbus
- The Spyglass SG50 is built-in self-testing for window cleanliness and overall operation
- Window heater to prevent condensation and icing
- The Spyglass SG50 has a configurable detection mode (UV-IR, UV, or IR)
The Spyglass SG50-F-UV-IR and SG50-F-UV-IR-F flame detectors from Teledyne offer advanced optical flame detection capabilities, combining ultra-fast response times, high sensitivity, and reliable detection of various fire types, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where rapid-fire detection is critical.
