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 hydrogen flame. This combination offers check to ensure the optical path is clear and the electronic circuitry
increased immunity, operates at faster speeds and is suited for is operational.
both 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.
