Det-Tronics has built detection equipment for hazardous industrial sites since 1973, and its detectors are named in the specifications of many oil, gas and petrochemical facilities. For an operator in Azerbaijan the question is rarely whether the equipment is good. It is whether someone nearby can choose the right model, install it correctly in a hazardous area, keep it calibrated and have a spare on the shelf when a detector fails during a turnaround.

ZE-Tronics does that work from Baku. We supply Det-Tronics equipment, engineer it into complete fire and gas systems, install and commission it, and look after it for the life of the plant.

Det-Tronics flame detectors

Flame detection is where Det-Tronics is best known. The range covers the main sensing technologies, and each one has a place:

  • X3301 multi-spectrum infrared — long-range detection of hydrocarbon fires with strong rejection of sunlight, hot surfaces and welding. The default choice for open process areas, wellheads and tank farms.
  • X3302 hydrogen flame detector — tuned for hydrogen fires, which burn with a nearly invisible flame and do not produce the carbon dioxide emission that most IR detectors look for.
  • X5200 UV/IR — requires both an ultraviolet and an infrared signal, which gives fast response with good false alarm immunity in controlled environments such as turbine enclosures.
  • X9800 single-frequency IR and X2200 UV — for applications where their specific strengths fit the hazard.

Choosing between them is covered in more depth in our guide to flame detector types.

Gas detection for open and enclosed areas

A single technology rarely covers a process plant. PointWatch Eclipse point infrared detectors measure hydrocarbon concentration where gas is likely to collect, and need no oxygen to work. FlexSight LS2000 open-path detectors watch a line across a process area or along a fence line. FlexSonic acoustic detectors respond to the sound of a high-pressure leak, which matters on windy offshore and onshore decks where the gas may disperse before it reaches any sensor. For hydrogen sulphide and other toxic gases, the GT3000 series completes the picture.

Eagle Quantum Premier fire and gas systems

Eagle Quantum Premier (EQP) connects detectors, manual call points, notification devices and releasing outputs on one safety network, with SIL 2 capability for safety instrumented functions. We configure the controller, write and test the cause-and-effect logic, and build the interface to the plant DCS or ESD system through our SCADA and DCS integration team.

Why Azerbaijani operators work with a local partner

  • Engineering before purchase. Our FEED engineers define detector types, numbers and positions using fire and gas mapping, so the purchase order matches the hazard rather than a generic list.
  • Hazardous area competence. Installation follows IEC 60079-14 and is carried out by CompEx-certified technicians. See installation and commissioning.
  • Accredited calibration in country. Gas detectors are calibrated in our AZS ISO/IEC 17025:2020 accredited laboratory, so instruments do not travel abroad. See gas detector calibration.
  • Stock and repairs. Critical spares are staged in Baku and London, and our electronics bench handles diagnosis and repair of flame, gas and smoke detectors and controllers.

Det-Tronics equipment is used across oil and gas, petrochemical and power generation sites. If you have a model number, a detector layout or only a description of the area, send it to us and an engineer will reply within one business day.

Frequently asked

Det-Tronics in Azerbaijan — questions and answers

Can I buy Det-Tronics equipment locally in Baku?

Yes. ZE-Tronics supplies original Det-Tronics detectors, controllers and spares in Azerbaijan, with certificates and documentation for your project file. Frequently used items are held in stock in Baku and London, which shortens lead times for shutdowns and urgent replacements.

Which Det-Tronics flame detector should I choose?

It depends on the fuel, the distance, and what else the detector will see. Multi-spectrum IR (X3301) is the usual choice for hydrocarbon fires at long range, X3302 is designed for hydrogen fires, and UV/IR (X5200) suits fast-developing fires where false alarm sources are controlled. We make the choice with you against the area and the fire scenario.

Do you calibrate Det-Tronics gas detectors?

Yes. We calibrate fixed and portable gas detectors in our own laboratory, accredited to AZS ISO/IEC 17025:2020, and carry out field calibration and bump tests on site. Each calibration is documented with traceable results.

Can Det-Tronics systems be integrated with our DCS or ESD?

Yes. Eagle Quantum Premier and individual detectors provide relay, 4-20 mA, HART and Modbus options depending on model. We design the interface so the fire and gas system stays independent while the control system receives status and alarms.

Do you repair or replace existing Det-Tronics detectors?

We assess existing units, carry out repairs within our electronics repair capability where appropriate, and plan like-for-like or upgraded replacements where a model has reached end of life.
