Hot Spot Detection

m-u-t systems recognize hot-spots before it is too late. Based on NIR and LWIR technologies our products for fire prevention, detection and fire fighting use latest optical developments for a new generation of security devices. Live video from the fire and exact temperature measurement over long distances are the keys to save time and increase the reliability and safety in early fire detection.

Contact-free measurement

The ARTUS system measures surface temperatures without any actual contact, whereby ARTUS is specially adapted for use in incineration plants but can also be used for open-air stores, warehouses and building protection.

Using the video images, the ARTUS software determines the current temperature values of the surface monitored and archives the measured values. The user can choose between the images of any single zone. If temperature limits or permissible changes in temperature are exceeded, the system generates an alarm. Hot spots hidden under the surface are also detected as they cause an increase in surface temperature long before an open fire starts.
 
In the event of a fire, the far-infrared camera is still capable of supplying video images of the affected zone - even in case of dense fog or smoke. This feature is provided by means of a LWIR-camera. Therefore the emitted light of the hot body reaches the detector without major changes.
