Safety New fl ame detector delivers superior performance for optimal fi re safety
Plant managers and other personnel responsible for fi re safety at oil refi neries, chemical plants, or other industrial facilities will fi nd the new General Monitors FL500 UV/IR Flame Detector from MSA offers relentless protection to safeguard people, equipment and facilities.
The next-generation FL500 optical fl ame detector is FM performance approved for six different fuel sources: butane, ethane, heptane, methane, methanol and propane. By combining a precision ultraviolet (UV) sensor for quick response with an infrared (IR) sensor that monitors fl ame-emitted radiation, the FL500 fl ame detector operates at faster speeds with unsurpassed false alarm immunity to provide the industry’s most reliable monitoring in its class.
The FL500 detector offers a wide fi eld of view up to 130° for optimum protection. It features three external LED indicators for local verifi cation by technicians of normal operation, fault conditions and alarms. On-board relays provide fl exible detector status communications with automated plant safety and control systems via HART, Modbus, 4-20 mA sink or source communications.
Designed with continuous optical path monitoring (COPM), the exceptionally dependable FL500 fl ame detector conducts its own self-check every two minutes. These optical and electrical self- check diagnostic routines ensure the sensor’s optical path is clear and that the detector’s sophisticated electronic circuitry is operational for true operator peace-of-mind.
The FL500 detector also can be tested with the explosion proof TL105 Test Lamp, which simulates the fl ickering of a fi re and provides a high-energy, broadband radiation source that emits energy in both the ultraviolet and infrared spectra to safely activate the fl ame sensors. The TL105 Test Lamp allows the detector to be tested under real fi re conditions without the associated risk of an open fl ame.
With its new and improved design, the FL500 UV/IR fl ame detector offers a reduced footprint and simplifi ed wiring to make it easy-to-install and maintain. Its rugged 316 stainless steel housing measures a compact 4.5-inches (114 mm) in diameter by 5.5-inches (140 mm) in length and weighs only 9 pounds (4.0 kg).
The FL500 provides fi re safety monitoring in the most demanding environments around the globe--from the heat of the Middle East to the frigid regions of Northern Europe and Canada. The operating temperature range is: -67°F (-55°C) to 185°F (85°C) with a relative humidity range of 0 to 95% RH, non-condensing.
addition to FM performance approval, other global approvals include: CSA, ATEX, IECEx, EN 54-10 and CE Marking. The next-generation FL500 UV/IR Flame Detector represents the true future of fl ame monitoring performance, reliability, fl exibility and value.
World’s fi rst cellular-connected gas detector with integrated pump changes gas monitoring for confi ned space

At the recent 27th World Gas Conference 2018 in Washubgton DC, Blackline Safety Corp. announced a new multi-gas cartridge with a built-in pump to monitor atmospheric hazards when entering confi ned spaces and performing leak checks.
“Around the world, thousands of employees enter confi ned spaces every day, including sewers, tanks, silos, storage bins and underground vaults,” says Glen Silver, Director of Sales, North America at Blackline Safety.
“Confi ned space entry is a high-risk, heavily regulated activity. Using our G7 Insight package with G7c detector, pump cartridge and online data analytics software, businesses will know which personnel are entering confi ned spaces, what spaces are being entered, the time spent inside and whether gases were encountered.”
Blackline’s G7c is the world’s fi rst and only connected gas detector with plug-and-play gas sensor cartridges. Shipping in the fourth quarter of this year, all G7c detectors can be equipped with the new multi-gas pump cartridge for use during confi ned space entries and leak checks. Blackline offers customers a lifetime warranty for all gas sensors and pumps — should a sensor fail testing or calibration, or if a pump stops working — cartridges are easily replaced in seconds with no downtime and at no additional cost to the user.
“Businesses routinely perform leak check surveys but data collection and documentation is a manual process. With G7c and our new pump cartridge, all
gas samples are automatically uploaded to the Blackline Safety Network, driving our data analytics software. If any leaks are found, businesses will know where they are and can plan proactive maintenance to reduce emissions and prevent issues from becoming worse over time,” says Mr. Silver.
Blackline’s new multi-gas pump cartridge is part of the award-winning G7 connected safety portfolio that delivers leading wireless gas detection, real-time compliance, business analytics and productivity- improvement within a single, wearable device.
G7 solutions are supported by industrial-grade, cloud-hosted software and services that support a range of options including a broad line of gas sensors, proprietary indoor location technology, real-time alerting to a live monitoring team, emergency response management, mass notifi cations, two-way voice calling and satellite connectivity.
Cost effective, fl ame sensors offer rapid response with improved detection range

Laser Components has specialised in IR sensors for use in fl ame detection instruments, since opening their doors for business back in 1982. They manufacture lead sulphide detectors at their assembly plant in Arizona and pyroelectric detectors in Florida. A fl ame will fl icker randomly at a rate between 1 and 20Hz when it is burned naturally, modulating any IR signal generated. Pyroelectric and lead sulphide detectors sense this modulated IR light and so can provide a warning of the presence of a fl ame.

Laser Components’ PB25 PbS detector is a cost effective sensor for this application and generates a response to the presence of a fl ame in 30ms at ranges of up to 65 metres. The signal to noise characteristic of the IR sensor determines the range and sensitivity of the fl ame detection instrument and Laser Components have recently added a differential pyroelectric detector to their portfolio of sensors with improved signal to noise performance. This new product provides fl ame detection appliance manufacturers with an innovative detector with improved range and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
