The MSA General Monitors® FL5000 is a cutting-edge multi-spectrum infrared (MSIR) flame detector designed to offer exceptional false alarm resistance, even over extended distances. It uses a multi-spectral optical IR sensing array combined with advanced Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to effectively distinguish real flames from most false alarm triggers.
Highlights
Next-Generation Flame Detection
Features
- False Alarm Discrimination. Improved false signal suppression using advanced neural network technology.
- Enhanced Performance. Detects fires up to 310 ft (95 m) away.
- Third-Party Verified. 22 FM-test fuel sources for unbiased performance verification.
- Bluetooth Technology. Configuration and diagnostics using the exclusive Flame Connect app.
- Backwards Compatibility. Easily upgrade FL4000H/FlameGard 5 MSIR detectors with the upgrade kit.
- Optical Path Integrity Self-Check. Continuous Optical Path Monitoring (COPM) performs a self-check every two minutes to ensure the optical path is clear and the electronic circuitry is functional.
- Test Anytime, Anywhere. Easily test with the exclusive TL105 Test Lamp that allows the FL5000 MSIR Flame Detector to be safely tested under real fire conditions with a simulated flicker of a flame.
