Advanced MSIR Technology with Intelligent Flame Recognition
The General Monitors® FL5000 combines Multi-Spectrum Infrared (MSIR) sensing with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technology to deliver reliable flame detection over long distances while helping minimize false alarms in demanding industrial environments.
By analyzing multiple infrared wavelengths simultaneously, the FL5000 accurately distinguishes genuine hydrocarbon flames from common false alarm sources such as sunlight, hot equipment, welding, and other infrared interference. Continuous Optical Path Monitoring (COPM) automatically verifies detector health, helping maintain reliable performance over time.
