Abstract (en)

Radiation detection apparatus includes a first detector (6) for detecting radiation at a wavelength which is preferably in the infra-red region, and means for sensing the presence of an obturating element (11), which element acts to prevent operating of the first detector. The sensing means includes a transmitter (14) which transmits a signal at a second wavelength, and a second detector (15) responsive to and arranged to receive the signal in the presence of the obturating element, preferably by reflection of the signal from the element. An alarm (10) may be activated in response to detection of radiation or of the transmitted signal.
