Dependable Flame Detector Performance
Immunity to False Alarms

RS-485 MODBUS RTU Serial Communication
High-Temperature Resistance
Compact, Rugged Housing
The FL3100
(UV/IR), FL3101
(UV) and
FL3102 (DFIR)
feature rugged,
explosion-proof
aluminum or
stainless steel
housings for use
in hazardous
environments.

FL3110
Designed with advanced ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) sensing technology, the FL3100 Flame Detector Series represents
the state-of-the-art in secure flame monitoring. The microcontroller-based FL3100 Series from General Monitors rapidly and
accurately senses unwanted fires, issuing alarm outputs directly from the detector, without compromising false alarm immunity,
providing reliable and secure protection of people, equipment and facilities.
Key Features
General Monitors
The FL3100 Flame Detector

Series is designed with:
A worldwide sensor technology leader, General Monitors is well known for its advanced, high performance instruments.
The companys experience and reputation for safety and innovation is unparalleled. No matter what the application, you
can count on instruments from General Monitors to provide the necessary plant protection.
Continuous Optical Path

Monitoring checks the optical path
integrity once every minute.
Application-Specific Flame Detection
Flicker discrimination circuitry

reduces the possibility of false
alarms even in the presence of
arc welding, lightning, sunlight
or hot objects.
The versatile FL3100 Flame Detector Series is designed for a

wide variety of flame detection applications. Choose from
interchangeable UV, UV/IR or Digital Frequency Infrared (DFIR)
detectors to meet individual application requirements. Highly accurate
built-in flicker-discrimination circuitry and self-checking Continuous
Optical Path Monitoring (COPM) ensure the FL3100 Series offers
exceptional fire protection, free from the worry of false alarms in:
Petroleum Refineries
Aircraft Hangars
Offshore Drilling
& Production Platforms
Automotive Assembly
Fuel Loading Facilities
Compressor Stations
LNG & LPG Processing

& Storage Plants
Gas Turbines
Chemical Processing
& Pharmaceuticals
Paint Spray Booths
Warehousing and
Distribution Facilities
Hydrogen Plants
Accessories
The Model FL802 is a
multi-channel
Readout/Display that
supports zone (and
voting) flame sensing
with multiple detectors.
The Model TA402A is
a single channel Fire
Trip Amplifier module,
which is part of the
Zero Two Series Gas
and Fire Detection
System. Various
input/output cards are
available for complete
fire and gas detection.
MODBUS RTU Compatible

RS-485 Serial Communication for
Easy, Flexible Networking of up to
128 Detectors, or up to 247 detectors
with repeaters. Dual Modbus optional.
4-20mA analog output for remote
alarm and fault indication.
Aluminum or Stainless Steel
Housing Supports Harsh Conditions
and Explosion-Proof Environments.
FL3111
Standard Wide Temperature

Range -40F to 185F
(-40C to 85C)
Special Version of FL3100
for Detection of Hydrogen Fires.
Modular Components Result in
Low Maintenance and Reduced
Total Cost of Ownership.
Advanced Flame Detector Design

The FL3100/3101/3110/3111 contain a
phototube that responds to radiation in
the 185-260 nanometer range. The UV
portion of the FL3100 / FL3110 detector
is combined with a pyroelectric detector,
which responds to a change in the
intensity of infrared radiation (4.35 um)
achieving a very high degree of
discrimination.
FL3112
The FL3110 (UV/IR),

FL3111 (UV) and
FL3112 (DFIR)
flame detectors were
designed and
approved with the
European market in
mind. The units
feature stainless steel
Exd housing, 90C
operating temperature
and segregated
EEx-e wiring
compartment.
Only the correct combination and intensity

of UV/IR radiation determined by algorithm
in the microcontroller can signal an alarm.
The unitized FL3102 and FL3112 Digital
Frequency Infrared Detectors utilize infrared
detectors and Digital Frequency Analysis
(DFA). The infrared detectors analyze
high and low frequencies, in addition to
comparing flame and reference
wavelengths, thus discriminating against
false alarms. Associated with the detectors
are flicker discrimination circuits, which are
sensitive to flame modulation, including that
produced by a large fire.
System Approvals
In support of applications worldwide,
our flame detectors feature universal
product approvals: CSA, FM, ATEX
and CE Marking. ATEX and CE Marking
available for the FL3110, FL3111, and
FL3112. (Patents 5,917,489 & 6,150,659)
SIL 2/3 Suitable.
