The General Monitors® FL500 UV/IR Flame Detector by MSA delivers fast, dependable flame detection with enhanced false alarm immunity-all in a compact, industrial-grade design. By monitoring both ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, the FL500 provides rapid response to real flames while rejecting interference from common sources like sunlight, lightning, and welding. FM-approved for verified performance with six fuel sources-heptane, methane, methanol, propane, ethane, and butane-the FL500 is built for high-risk environments where safety is critical. Its Continuous Optical Path Monitoring (COPM) performs automatic self-checks every two minutes to ensure the optics and circuitry remain fully operational. With flexible output options including 4-20 mA (source or sink), Modbus, HART, and relays, the FL500 integrates easily into any safety system-offering trusted protection backed by proven performance.
