  • Detector with coated lens assembly
    Patent number: 7026619
    Abstract: A spark detector lens assembly is adapted to block energy from static electric discharges. The lens assembly includes a housing which receives a lens. The lens is adapted to pass infrared frequency energy therethrough. A conductive coating is disposed on one side of said lens, which is effective to block radio frequency energy but pass infrared frequency energy. The conductive coating may be electrically connected to an electrical ground path. The lens assembly is especially effective for preventing false alarms by shielding a spark detector from radio frequency energy radiated by static electric discharges.
