UV/IR TECHNOLOGY SAFETY INTEGRITY SELF-CHECK


A UV/IR flame detector combines an ultraviolet (UV) sensor Every two minutes, a built in self-check known as Continuous
for quick response and an infrared (IR) sensor that monitors Optical Path Monitoring (COPM) performs an optical and electrical
radiation emitted by a flame. This combination offers increased check to ensure the optical path is clear and the electronic circuitry
immunity, operates at faster speeds and is suited for both is operational.
indoor and outdoor use.

IMPROVED DESIGN RELIABLE TESTING ANYTIME, ANYWHERE


Stainless steel housing, three LED status indicators, reduced The FL500 can be tested with our exclusive TL105 Test Lamp,
footprint, and simplified wiring make the FL500 easy to install which simulates the flickering of a fire. This allows the detector
and maintain. to be tested under simulated fire conditions without the associated
risk of an open flame.

FM PERFORMANCE APPROVED DETECTION


The FL500 UV/IR Flame Detector has seven fuel sources
performance approved by Factory Mutual (FM)—heptane,
hydrogen, methane, methanol, propane, ethane, and butane.
