Flame Detection with False Alarm Immunity - FL500 UV/IR Flame Detector

The FL500 UV/IR Flame Detector delivers rapid flame detection with increased immunity to false alarms, whilst remaining compact.

The FL500 UV/IR Flame Detector is constantly monitoring for both ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation emitted by a flame. Monitoring both areas of the spectrum at once allows improved response times and increased false alarm immunity against sources of radiation for reliable protection.

Proven Technology. UV/IR flame detection uses an infrared and an ultraviolet detector to monitor for flames increasing false alarm immunity by measuring two different flame spectrums.

FM Performance Approved. Six different fuel sources (heptane, methane, methanol, propane, ethane, butane) were used in testing, with a verified field of view.

Wide Field of View. A verified 130° cone of vision covers greater distance.

Safety Integrity Self-Check. Every two minutes the Continuous Optical Path Monitoring (COPM) performs a self-check to ensure a clear optical path and functional electronic circuitry.

Test Anytime, Anywhere. Easily test with MSA’s exclusive TL105 Test Lamp that allows the FL500 UV/IR Flame Detector to be safely tested under real fire conditions with a simulated flicker of a flame.

Withstands Extremes. With a wide operating temperature range (-55 °C to +85 °C), the system can comfortably operate in extreme environments.

Status at a Glance. Three LED status indicators for warning, alarm and normal operations.

Rugged Housing. 316 stainless steel housing to withstand the harshest environments

Multiple Output Options. Industry standard 4-20 mA (source or sink analog), Modbus, HART, relays
