MSA & General Monitors UV/IR Flame Detectors include:
- MSA FlameGard UV/IR
- GMI FL3100H UV/IR Flame Detector
The precision-crafted FlameGard® 5 UV/IR Flame Detector monitors both ultraviolet and infrared (UV & IR) spectral ranges, which makes it highly immune to false alarms caused by lightning, arc welding, hot objects and other sources of radiation. The unit’s Continuous Optical Path Monitoring (COPM) checks both the optical path integrity and the detector’s electronic circuitry once a minute, while the wide field of view enables greater fire detection coverage.
The FL3100H is an Ultraviolet / Infrared flame detector designed to detect fires and provide alarm outputs directly from the detector while maintaining false alarm immunity. It monitors in both the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) spectral ranges, making it highly immune to false alarms. Configurations with dual Modbus and HART are available. Modbus and HART data can be used for predictive maintenance. The flame detector’s electronics are integral within its explosion-proof housing, allowing detector information to be processed locally.
