Event details

This webinar provides a comprehensive introduction to Video Flame Detection (VFD) and the LPS1976 product standard. It explains how VFD technology works, its advantages over traditional smoke and heat detection, and why it has become an essential solution for challenging industrial environments.

The webinar outlines the limitations of conventional detection methods—particularly in areas with high ceilings, airborne contamination, extreme temperatures, moisture, or outdoor airflow—and demonstrates how VFD overcomes these issues by detecting actual flame rather than the by-products of fire. Different types of video detection (smoke, heat, and flame) are compared, including their suitability, restrictions, and common false-alarm triggers.


A major section of this webinar covers the LPS1976 standard, including its purpose, scope, testing methodology, and requirements for software, EMC performance, environmental resilience, interference immunity, and practical fire testing. The course explains how LPS1976 creates a level playing field with EN54 standards, enabling VFD to be confidently specified as a primary fire detection method.

Finally, real-world challenges are examined—such as dust, moisture, extreme temperatures, and maintenance difficulties—and matched to VFD-based solutions. Key considerations from BS5839-1:2025 are also highlighted to support correct system design and compliance.




All attendees will receive a CPD certificate.
