FL5000 MSIR Flame Detector
Extend your detection range and reduce false alarms with the FL5000 MSIR Flame Detector
The MSA General Monitors FL5000 is an advanced multi-spectrum infrared (MSIR) flame detector that provides superior false alarm discrimination over long distances. The FL5000 employs a multi-spectral optical IR sensing array with sophisticated Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to reliably discriminate between actual flames and the vast majority of false alarm sources.
Multi-Spectrum Infrared (MSIR) Technology
The MSA General Monitors FL5000 is a Multi-Spectrum Infrared (MSIR) Flame Detector. The FL5000 employs state-of-the art infrared (IR) detectors and an advanced flame detection algorithm leveraging a sophisticated artificial neural network (ANN) based signal processing to produce a system that is highly immune to false alarms caused by lightning, sunlight reflection, arc-welding, hot objects, and other sources of radiation.
Enhanced Design
Stainless steel housing, Bluetooth, LED status indicators, and simplified wiring make the FL5000 Flame Detector easy to install and maintain.
FM Performance Approved
Detection The FL5000 Flame Detector has 22 fuel sources performance approved by FM assuring of field of view and distance covered.
Easy Upgrades Made Possible
The FL5000 Flame Detector has the same footprint of our legacy FL4000H/FlameGard 5 MSIR flame detectors. Simply replace the detector head, replace the electronics and you’re operational – no need to remove wiring or seals.
Optical Path Integrity Self-Check
Every two minutes, a built in self-check known as Continuous Optical Path Monitoring (COPM) performs an optical and electrical check to ensure the optical path is clear and the electronic circuitry is operational.
Reliable Testing Anytime, Anywhere
The FL5000 Flame Detector can be tested with our explosion proof TL105 Test Lamp, which simulates the flickering of a fire. This allows the detector to be tested under real fire conditions without the associated risk of an open flame.
