FL3100H UV/IR and FL3101H UV Flame Detectors

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of the General Monitors Models FL3100H and FL3101H flame detectors. These devices are designed for detecting unwanted fires using ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) technology, offering high immunity to false alarms.
Features:
  • Wide field of view and event logging capabilities.
  • 4-20 mA stepped output with Modbus and HART interfaces.
  • Continuous Optical Path Monitoring (COPM) for checking optical path integrity.
  • Three SPDT high current programmable relay outputs.
Benefits:
  • Enhanced fire detection coverage and storage of fault and alarm history.
  • Industry-standard remote alarm and fault indication.
  • Operation at higher ambient temperatures.
  • Immediate and time-delayed relay outputs for various conditions.
Description: The FL3100H model detects fires using both UV and IR spectral ranges, while the FL3101H uses only the UV range for faster response. Both models include alarm/fault relays and RS-485 serial output for linking multiple detectors. The COPM feature ensures regular self-testing of the optical path and electronic circuitry.
Applications: Suitable for use in aircraft hangars, chemical plants, compressor stations, drilling platforms, paint spray booths, fuel loading facilities, gas turbines, and LNG/LPG processing and storage facilities.
System Specifications:
  • Wavelengths: 185 to 260 nm (UV), 4.35 microns (IR).
  • Field of View: 120° max for FL3100H, 140° max for FL3101H.
  • Sensitivity: Detects a 1 sq. ft heptane fire at 50 feet.
  • Response Time: <3 seconds for FL3100H, <1 second for FL3101H.
Environmental Specifications:
  • Operating Temperature: -40°F to +185°F (-40°C to +85°C).
  • Humidity Range: 0% to 100% RH, non-condensing.
Electrical Specifications:
  • Input Power: 20-36 VDC, 24 VDC @ 150 mA max.
  • Analog Signal: 0 – 20 mA with various fault and signal modes.
  • Relay Contact Rating: 8A 250 VAC, 8A @ 30 VDC resistive.
Mechanical Specifications:
  • Housing: Aluminum or optional stainless steel.
  • Dimensions: Diameter 6 inches, Length 5.5 inches.
  • Weight: 5 lbs (aluminum), 16 lbs (stainless steel).
Approvals and Compliance: The models are CSA, FM, ATEX, IECEx approved, HART registered, and suitable for SIL 3 applications. They comply with various international standards for safety and electromagnetic interference.

FL3100H UV/IR and FL3101H UV Flame Detectors-1

Flame Detection MODELS FL3100H/FL3101H Features • Wide field of view • Event logging • 4-20 mA stepped output • Modbus and HART user interface • Wide operating temperature range • Continuous Optical Path Monitoring (COPM) • Three SPDT high current programmable relay outputs Benefits • Greater fire detection coverage • Stores fault and alarm history • Industry standard for remote alarm and fault indication • Provides complete status and control capability in the control room • Permits operation at higher ambient temperature • Checks optical path integrity and detector's electronic circuitry once every minute • Immediate and time delayed relay outputs for alarm, warn and fault conditions Description General Monitors' Models FL3100H and FL3101H are Ultraviolet/ Infrared and Ultraviolet-only flame detectors designed to detect unwanted fires and provide alarm outputs directly from the detector while maintaining false alarm immunity. The Model FL3100H detects fires by monitoring in both the ultraviolet and infrared (UV & IR) spectral ranges making it highly immune to false alarms caused by lightning, arc welding, hot objects and other sources of radiation. The Model FL3101H detects in only the ultraviolet (UV) spectral range for optimized speed of response. Other features of the FL3100H and FL3101H include three alarm/fault relays, and an RS-485 serial output with Modbus RTU protocol for linking up to 128 detectors in series or 247 with repeaters. The RS-485 and HART outputs provide status, alarm, fault and other information for operation, troubleshooting or programming of the units. HART allows this feature without rewiring. The COPM (Continuous Optical Path Monitoring) self test feature checks the optical path integrity (window cleanliness) and the detector's electronic circuitry once every minute. Applications • Aircraft Hangars • Chemical Plants • Compressor Stations • Drilling and Production Platforms • Electrostatic Paint Spray Booths • Fuel Loading Facilities • Gas Turbines • LNG/LPG Processing and Storage Facilities UV/ IR and UV Unitized Flame Detectors
