Forney to Demonstrate IDD 9000

ORLANDO, FL, Nov. 28, 2006 — Forney Corporation will be displaying its IDD 9000 flame detector amplifier in anticipation of its upcoming commercial release at its booth (#1619) during the PowerGen show this week.  Designed for installation in multi-fuel utility boilers, the IDD 9000 flame detector amplifier will enable customers to upgrade their systems to the latest National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) code 85 requirements while providing better flame discrimination.  Forney is part of UTC Fire & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp.
