for Improved False Alarm ImmunityBreakthrough Neural Network Intel l igence
Advanced Multi-Spectral Sensor Arraywith Neural Network TechnologyThe FL4000H Multi-Spectral Infrared (MSIR)/Neural NetworkTechnology (NNT) Flame Detector from General Monitorssets a new industry standard for performance, reliability, andvalue. General Monitors has developed the industry's firstMSIR/NNT Flame Detector designed to operate at longerrange with a wider field of view and at higher accuracy forsuperior false alarm immunity.
Combining a precision multi-spectral IR sensing array withhighly intelligent neural network processors, the FL4000Hreliably discriminates between actual flames and nuisancefalse alarm sources (such as arc welding or hot objects).
Standard features of the FL4000H Flame Detector include:> MSIR sensor array for maximum range of up to 230 ft.> Neural network technology for superior false alarm immunity> Continuous optical path monitoring (COPM) checks
optical path integrity for high reliability> Event logging records time, date and type of event> Minimum immunity distance to arc welding:
5-15 ft. (1.5-4.6 m)> Response time of <10 seconds for rapid flame detection
and alarming> Industry standard 4-20 mA output signal for communications
with remote alarms, PLCs, or DCS> HART digital communication signal superimposed
on the 4-20 mA analog signal.> Dual-redundant Modbus communications via RS-485
interface for remote operation
> Test lamp that checks all outputs > Explosion-proof stainless steel housing for corrosive
and marine environments
How MSIR/NNT Flame Detection WorksThe FL4000H is a highly discriminating MSIR/NNT detector,which makes use of multiple infrared sensors sampling differentIR spectrum wavelengths. Each detector's analog sensorsignals are sampled and converted into digital format forsignal pre-processing to extract time and frequency data.

The time and frequency information are used by theFL4000H's proprietary neural network classificationalgorithm to identify if input IR signals are emitted froma flame or non-flame source. The flame or non-flamedecision is then reported as an output via LEDs, relays,HART and /or Modbus.
With its NNT flame discrimination algorithm, the FL4000His highly immune to false alarms. COPM (ContinuousOptical Path Monitoring) self-diagnostic circuitry checksthe optical path (window cleanliness) and the detector'scircuitry every two minutes. Serial ports allow up to 128units (247 using repeaters) to be linked to a host computerusing the Modbus RTU protocol.
The FL4000H's breakthrough NNT signal processing modeloffers a distinct advantage. Its ability to adapt to customerapplication conditions is almost limitless, resulting in highlyreliable flame protection with superior false-alarm immunity.
Lower Your Total Installed CostThe FL4000H Flame Detector is a powerful next generationsolution with distinct advantages over many existing flamedetection devices in the marketplace. The FL4000H's greaterrange and wider field of view reduces the number of detectorsnecessary in many applications -- thus cutting total installedcost while achieving greater false alarm immunity.
FL4000H ApprovalsTo support global applications, the FL4000H is approvedfor CSA, FM, ATEX, IECEx, ULC, BV, BRE EN 54-10, VNIIPO,GOST and has CE Marking. Additionally, it is rated asSIL 3 Suitable. FM Certified to IEC 61508. Patent 7202794.
Applications VersatilityUntil now, plant engineers facing chronic false alarm problemshave had to choose between accepting the costs of falsealarms, changing the process or installing complex redundantflame detection systems at a high cost and with highmaintenance requirements. The FL4000H with its highlyintelligent MSIR/NNT sensor addresses the shortcomingsof today's typical flame detectors and is ideal for a widerange of applications and industries:> Automotive> Aerospace> Chemical Plants> Electric Power> Food / Beverage> Offshore Platforms
