- Explosion-hazard areas of zones 1 and 2, indoors and outdoors (DF11Ex)
- Potentially explosive areas on a C-NET-Ex or FDnet-Ex line (OOH740-A9-EX, FDOOT241-A9-Ex)
- Sites that want visual verification of a fire alarm by camera (FDV202)
Siemens Flame & Specialist Detection models
Siemens FDF242-EX Cerberus PRO Addressable Flame Detector for Ex Zones 0, 1 and 2

Siemens DF11Ex Cerberus PRO Conventional Infrared Flame Detector, Ex
A collective (conventional) infrared flame detector for explosion-hazard areas of zones 1 and 2, inside or outside.
Siemens OOH740-A9-EX Cerberus PRO Multi-Sensor Fire Detector for Ex Areas
A multi-sensor fire detector for potentially explosive areas, addressed individually on a C-NET-Ex line or used on a collective Ex line.
Siemens FDOOT241-A9-Ex Sinteso Multi-Sensor Fire Detector for Ex Areas
A Sinteso multi-sensor fire detector for potentially explosive areas, addressed individually on an FDnet-Ex line or used on a collective Ex line.
Siemens FDV202 FireCatcher Video Fire Detection Camera
A video fire detection camera for Siemens fire control panels that combines smoke and flame detection with immediate visual verification.
How to choose
A flame detector watches for the infrared radiation of flames instead of waiting for smoke or heat to reach it. The Siemens FDF242 uses three pyroelectric sensors, each tuned to a specific infrared wavelength, in a durable IP66/IP67 housing rated for -40 to +70 °C. It is addressable on an FDnet or C-NET line. For explosive atmospheres, the FDF242-EX runs on an FDnet-Ex or C-NET-Ex line and can be used in zones 0, 1 and 2.
The DF11Ex is a conventional (collective) infrared flame detector for explosion-hazard zones 1 and 2, inside or outside. It connects to the detection line through an input/output module for galvanic isolation, and its performance is checked with the Stabex HF test lamp held in front of it. The detector unit DF1101-Ex and the base DFB1190 are ordered separately.
For smoke and heat detection in potentially explosive areas, the OOH740-A9-EX (Cerberus PRO, C-NET-Ex or collective Ex) and the FDOOT241-A9-Ex (Sinteso, FDnet-Ex or collective Ex) are multi-sensor detectors with ASAtechnology signal processing, a redundant sensor system and suitability for wind speeds of 1 to 20 m/s. 'Ex' devices are built for areas where flammable gas or dust may be present, and the zone and Ex classification must match the site.
The FDV202 FireCatcher is a video fire detection camera that combines smoke and flame detection with immediate visual verification, connects to a Siemens fire control panel through an I/O module and integrates with Milestone and Siemens Siveillance. FPS can help you match the detector to the hazard and confirms the exact part numbers before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Siemens FDF242 flame detector work?
It uses three pyroelectric sensors, each analysing a specific wavelength in the infrared spectrum, to detect flames. It connects as an addressable device on an FDnet or C-NET line.
Which Siemens detectors are for explosive atmospheres?
The FDF242-EX flame detector (zones 0, 1 and 2), the DF11Ex flame detector (zones 1 and 2), and the OOH740-A9-EX and FDOOT241-A9-Ex multi-sensor detectors for potentially explosive areas.
What is the FDV202 FireCatcher?
A Siemens video fire detection camera that combines smoke and flame detection with visual verification of the incident. It connects to a Siemens fire control panel through an I/O module.
What does EN 54-10 mean?
EN 54-10 is the part of the European EN 54 standard for flame detectors. Siemens lists it for the FDF242, FDF242-EX and DF11Ex.
Does FPS supply Siemens flame and Ex detectors in Bhopal?
Yes. FPS is a Siemens dealer and supplies, installs and maintains Siemens specialist detectors in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh. Prices are on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060.
