FM Approves Breakthrough Multi-Spectral Infrared (MSIR) Flame Detector With Superior False Alarm Immunity

Fire monitoring and detection is one of the single most important safety challenges in all facilities involved with the production, refining and distribution of oil, natural gas and petrochemicals. Fire is also a critical threat in many other industries, including automotive, food/beverage, pharmaceuticals, pulp/paper, printing, textiles, warehousing and more. Our advanced Multi-Spectral Infrared (MSIR) FL4000 Flame Detector has now been certified by Factory Mutual (FM) for application in these types of hazardous environments.

Combining Multi-Spectral Infrared (MSIR) sensing and neural network technology (NNT), the FL4000 gives process and plant engineers a potent tool in protecting people, equipment and facilities from dangerous hydrocarbon flame sources. The FL4000 provides highly reliable flame monitoring with superior false alarm immunity, an exceptionally wide field of view (FOV) and the industryís longest detection range. It offers exceptional performance and reliability while minimizing operational costs associated with unreliable flame detection due to false alarms.
