10 FL5000 Multi-Spectrum Flame Detector US
3 Device Overview
3 Device Overview
The FL5000 is a Multi-Spectrum Flame Detector. The FL5000
employs state-of-the-art infrared (IR) detectors and an advanced
flame detection algorithm leveraging a sophisticated artificial neural
network (ANN) based signal processing to produce a system that is
highly immune to false alarms caused by lightning, sunlight
reflection, arc-welding, hot objects, and other sources of radiation.
In addition, the FL5000 can see through most smoky type fires.
The FL5000 is certified as explosion proof for use in hazardous
locations. It can also be used for general-purpose, non-hazardous
applications.

3.1 Features
Feature Description
High False Alarm
Immunity
Provides reliable flame detection performance by utilizing advanced flame detection
algorithms to minimize false alarms. Refer to 9.1.3 False Alarm Stimuli Performance for
more details on the behavior of the instrument in the presence of false stimuli.
Wide Field of View (FOV) Encompasses a large area of detection with uniform sensing and no blind spots.
Modular Design Results in low maintenance and reduced total cost of ownership.
Compact Unitized Design Enhances ease of installation and maintenance.
Continuous Optical Path
Monitoring (COPM)
Regularly monitors the optical path to ensure the window is not dirty.
0-20 mA Analog Output
Transmits alarm and fault indication to a remote display, computer, or other device such as
an alarm, dispensing device, or master controller.
Modbus RS-485 User
Interface
Provides the capability to operate the FL5000 remotely. This interface allows the user to
remotely change the alarm and warning relay settings, clear selected faults, clear error
counters, change baud rates, and change formats for serial communication lines.
HART 7 Protocol
The HART equipped FL5000 supports the HART communication protocol version 7. Using
this protocol, users transmit diagnostics, settings, and other device status information that
improves the efficiency of remote communication.
NOTE: FL5000 HART should not be used with General Monitors TA402A and FL802 Controllers.
3.2 Applications
The FL5000 provides flame detection for a wide range of applications, including, but not limited to the following:
Industries Sample Applications Industries Sample Applications
Oil and Gas On and Offshore Platforms Chemical Plants Process Buildings
Gas Pipelines Compressor Buildings Loading Terminals Trucking On / Off Loading Areas
