This range is obsolete and has been replaced by the FL500.
The General Monitors FL3110 and FL3111 are UV/IR and UV-only flame detectors designed to detect unwanted fires and provide alarm outputs directly from the detector while maintaining false alarm immunity. These detectors complement the existing FL3112 multi-IR detector, completing the “family”.
The FL3110 detects fires by monitoring both ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) spectral ranges, making it highly immune to false alarms caused by lightning, arc welding, hot objects, and other sources of radiation. The FL3111 detects only the ultraviolet (UV) spectral range for optimised speed of response.
The detectors’ electronics are integral within an explosion-proof housing, allowing detector information to be processed at the point of detection. The electronics are fully separated from the Exe wire compartment, offering protection during installation and service.
The serial communication port(s) allow 128 units (247 using repeaters) to be linked to a host computer using the Modbus RTU protocol. The communication registers provide alarm status, fault information, and other data for the operation, troubleshooting, or programming of the unit. The COPM (Continuous Optical Path Monitoring) self-test feature checks optical path integrity (window cleanliness) and the detector’s electronic circuitry once every minute.
