MSA FL500 Flame Detector
Quickly detects indoor and outdoor flames with hybrid UV/IR flame detection. UV/IR flame detector with explosion-proof certification from Japan.
The FL500 UV/IR flame detector is a hybrid flame detector developed by General Monitors, combining ultraviolet (UV) sensors and infrared (IR) sensors. By utilizing combined UV and IR detection, it achieves fast response times and high resistance to interference, enabling stable flame detection both indoors and outdoors. Its robust housing made of 316 stainless steel, along with three LED status indicators and a simple wiring design, ensures reliability even in harsh environments. Additionally, the optical path self-diagnostic function (COPM) every two minutes ensures continuous operation and safety of the device.
